28. The Output is only as good as the input

Follow me on Instagram @theheididawson We hear a lot about developing good mindset habits but we also have to eliminate bad habits as well if we want to improve our mental strength. Here are a few bad habits that seem to be growing in popularity Not having time limitations on energy vampires, we all have our own personal version of what that is (It could be social media, video games, news watching) You let your brain control you rather than vise versa (your brain wants to keep you safely in your comfort zone, you build mental strength by stepping out of your comfort zone…besides, remember the earlier episode thats where the good stuff is!) You compare yourself to others ((Maybe Resenting someone else’s success or life) Did you know that envying your friends on facebook or Instagram actually can lead to depression? Did you know that your brain actually likes the drama of it all? Thats why we have to tell our brain what to think. The output is only as good as the input. What we put in is what we put out. but we do need to figure out ways to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. This brings us mental strength in spades! I recently finished a book called “The art of Learning” by Jeff Waitzkin where he said “The little moments where you can push yourself beyond your comfort zone and get uncomfortable, build tolerance and slowly expand your ability to get tougher and tougher”
