The Mental Diet

THE MENTAL DIET

Have we ever sat in a room and someone walks in without judging them? Are your first impressions about someone a negative or positive thoughts? Do you realise that the more we judge people the less time we have to love them? Trying going on a mental diet. However, a mental diet is a way of regulating your thoughts and restraining your negative thoughts that you allow into your mind. A mental diet is almost the same as going on a healthy diet in the sense that a healthy diet is one that you regulate the amount of food that you take or watch the portions you have daily and a mental diet as such acts in a much more similar way.

But, the point here how to start dealing with our thoughts. Sometimes we fill our minds with thoughts or put it at rest but this is a matter of choice. These thoughts we usually feed our minds with could be either negative or positive. This mental diet is the food on which the brain lives on and these are the things you allow yourself to think regardless of the situation. We dwell upon these and they are the constituent of your environment and you. The thoughts and feelings we have had in the past whether happy ones or sad ones also sums up everything in our life today. The thoughts and feelings you choose to entertain from now onwards would be entirely part of your future.

Why did it take me so long to realise that I was insecure? But the question here is it took a stranger I’ve never met before in my entire life. I then realised that I was afraid of a lot of things like; failure, rejection, losing the ones I dearly love, but then why was I afraid of all these things? funny such a silly rhetorical question that’ll never get an answer. I then decided to go on a mental diet. However, I didn’t just think I’d go on a mental diet it took another total stranger to let me know that ill be needing to do so. It so much more than cliched to say all these rights now but that’s the truth. Even though I found it very hard to accept and to admit that although I couldn’t tell what it was because I was afraid of the truth which I had to battle with for years of my life. But to say that it took a stranger to make me go on a mental diet which would change my life in a little while. All these is traced back from my childhood the days where I was bullied. I have lived with all these traumas all my life. But I think it’s time to make some changes no matter how hard it is I would try and be as positive as possible in order to change my life from a living hell to a place where I would be free from all odds. However, I was still on a mental diet when I wrote this article as all I wanted to do was to change my thinking from the negative way to the positive way it should be. I can’t thank myself enough that I have been able to accept the truth all these while even though the hardest thing ever was admitting the truth. I then realized that me not accepting the simple truth could be extremely dangerous, it has affected me in almost all aspect of my life, my relationship with my family, friends and loved ones, my state of mind and wellbeing.
