Each of us insists upon feeding our bodies with precise
regularity, typically three times a day. Life can become very traumatic if circumstances
cause us to skip one of those meals! In fact, if we miss too many, our health
will be in jeopardy. And, it also matters
what we consume. We can choose a diet of junk food, or select healthier options.
How do we feel about feeding our minds? That is just as
important to our health as providing nutrition to our bodies!
Is the television your main diet? Many folks, in our
society today feed their minds a diet provided by our broadcast media
companies. One can actually find great learning opportunities within the realm
of Broadcast Media. But, by far the majority of options fall into the mental
junk food classification. Most commercial movies released on society will numb
the senses and blur the lines of morality and honor.
If you invited an impartial observer to peruse your
personal library, including books, audio materials, movies, etc., to determine the
type of diet which you feed your mind, what would they find?
Twenty some years ago I actually sold vacuums....door to
door. There was always the old cliché about dumping a bucket of dirt on the
lady's floor and proving that your machine would resolve the ensuing mess. That
might work for vacuums. But the human mind will retain all the learning
opportunities presented to it.
So, we should choose more consciously what we permit
our mind to feast upon! Zig Ziglar often taught that "What you feed your
mind determines your appetite"!

mental dietary improvement program Here is a brief summary to work with, along
