Note to Self



Lately, my brain feels like it's been on a steady diet of social media junk food—a never-ending stream of cat videos, pointless memes, and clickbait articles. It's as if I've been feeding it nothing but mental potato chips, and now it's crying out for some real nutrients.

But fear not, dear brain! Today marks a new chapter. Inspired by the wise words of Philippians 4:8, I’m determined to give you a feast of mental delicacies; veritable banquet of truth, nobility, righteousness, purity, loveliness, and admiration. Forget the fast food of the internet; it's time for a five-course meal of enriching content.

Sure, there may be days when I falter and find myself falling into the black hole of "just one more scroll," but I promise to make a conscious effort to steer clear of the garbage. Instead, I'll fill my synapses with knowledge and inspiration. Books, podcasts, documentaries, and classical music will become our (me and my brain) new best friends. Meditation and mindfulness will be our guiding lights.

So, here’s to feeding our brains with "whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable." If anything is excellent or praiseworthy, let's devour it with gusto.

Because let’s be honest, brain—you deserve better than the digital equivalent of a deep-fried Twinkie.
