Eight small shifts in behaviour that give you a mental advantage
Joan of Arc once said that ‘all battles are first won and lost in the mind.’
To maintain a clear, strong and creative mind is to be granted the greatest power we have.
The cool thing is, it need only require minor changes to experience significant gains at the level of mind:
1. Walk 30 minutes+ daily.
A body in motion serves the mind well because our minds ARE our bodies.
If we’re stuck at home all day growing chubby, we do our mental health a disservice.
Walking daily for 30 minutes may not seem like a lot, but this foundational level of exercise will give you a significant advantage over the slovenly masses.
2. Reduce time spent eating.
You’re familiar with drowsy brain fog that can follow an eating session.
The body — when in digestion mode — tends to become less alert.
The brain has received signals that you are satiated and no longer require the focus necessary to acquire resources.
No problem with this, but your mind will not be sharp.
To take advantage of this and maintain a lean body, spend less time eating.
