00:00:00 --> 00:00:06 There are all kinds of fad diets out there, but what are you feeding your brain?

00:00:07 --> 00:00:11 Tune in for some suggestions for do's and don'ts.

00:00:13 --> 00:00:21 Hello and welcome to MoMo634, the daily podcast chock full of faith-filled inspiration and motivation.

00:00:22 --> 00:00:26 MoMo634, motivational moments just for today.

00:01:02 --> 00:01:08 I have a friend who has a fear of zombies, never mind that they aren't real.

00:01:09 --> 00:01:13 Remember our episode yesterday on irrational fears?

00:01:14 --> 00:01:14 Yeah.

00:01:15 --> 00:01:21 I mention zombies because in pop culture, they're known for feasting on brains.

00:01:22 --> 00:01:25 But what do we feed our brains?

00:01:26 --> 00:01:30 I would argue that there are some great things we can feed our brains.

00:01:31 --> 00:01:42 Fish oil, DHEA, flax seeds all contain the good stuff for coating our brains for optimal neurological health.

00:01:42 --> 00:01:47 Of course, check with your care provider before taking any supplements.

00:01:48 --> 00:01:52 In our family, we rarely go without fish oil in the house.

00:01:54 --> 00:02:00 That said, there are some terrible things we consume daily that are awful for our brains.

00:02:02 --> 00:02:11 Doom scrolling, which is defined as spending an excessive amount of time scrolling through negative stories on your smartphone or tablet.

00:02:12 --> 00:02:19 Lest I sound like the old fogey that I am, we have terrible music all around us.

00:02:20 --> 00:02:29 Not just lack of musicality, but awful lyrics, or worse yet, music that turns your brains to mush.

00:02:30 --> 00:02:46 There was a meme going around of a song from several decades ago with deep, meaningful lyrics, side-by-side with a song from today that was pretty much, yeah, baby, baby, ooh, girl, yeah.

00:02:48 --> 00:02:55 Proverbs 23.7 says, in part, as a man thinks in his heart, so is he.

00:02:57 --> 00:03:13 With all the disheartening news in the world, social media spats, and worthless time wasters on our devices that are glued to our hands and eyes, let's use our time wisely to build ourselves and each other up.

00:03:14 --> 00:03:17 That's why I try to get these episodes out early each day.

00:03:18 --> 00:03:22 Let's give our brains something good to feast on.

00:03:23 --> 00:03:31 Our meme for today says, Set your compass for the true north and you will never be lost.
