Benefits of a Diet

When it comes to dieting ,many people equate this common term with deviating from your normal eating pattern to take on a more disciplined approach to increase your physical health.Many people take a break from eating their favorite foods to take on a more healthy approach to food for a short interim of time.Many people decide to go on diets for numerous reasonssuch as to shed some pounds to fit in that perfect outfit and to cleanse the body of its toxins to name a few.However,we must remain mindful that dieting doesn't have to involve a change in your food eating pattern.Mental diets are also vital to sustain proper health too.A mental diet may involve ridding yourself of distractions and negative people that can stagnate your progress.A mental diet can mean not watching television and listening to the radio for a few days to concentrate on your own thoughts.It is sad to say,but many people cannot tolerate absolute silence.Every second of the day people are constantly bombarded with artificial information and noise which takes up space in your head so it will be more difficult for you to generate and reflect on your own thoughts.Many people let the media,radio,people and other external things define their reality and even though alot of times we do expose ourselves to factual information ,we often do not spend enough time alone with our self to get to know our self better.Afterall,you are around yourself more that you are around anything else.There is no proper substitute for knowledge of self.It is beneficial to free and liberate our minds on a daialy basis.This will actually strengthen our minds as we learn to use it more effectively.If we dont use our brain to its full potential ,then we are basically letting other people rent space inside of our head.As been said on numerous occasiions,a mind is a terrible thing to waste and if we dont use it,then someone else will.Take head and you will fare well.Peace and love to all!!!!!!
