Are you feeding victimhood, being desperate or power and feeling powerful? Are you feeding inactivity boredom and depression, or are you feeding joy, purpose and happiness? THE CHOICE IS YOUR IN THIS VERY MOMENT, AND WHAT YOU DO IN EACH MOMENT MAKES YOUR LIFE. You make yourself with each action, especially the repeated ones.
What do you feed your mind with? Do you want to reap weakness, depression, overthinking and anxiety or do you want to reap power, concentration, happiness, success and peace? You decide that your actions, attitudes and of course the habits you reap end up making you and your life.
Take the example of playing a video game while watching a film. You do not get a lot of information from what you are watching or listening to in the case of an audiobook, but you are reinforcing the habit of your mind being dispersed, ineffective and weak. YOU ARE QUITE LITERALLY FEEDING DEPRESSION, OCD, ANXIETY AND WEAKNESS OF MIND.
When you watch a film while playing a video game, you are teaching your mind to be restless, in fear and always in some kind of frustration because it is all over the place constantly, therefore it is what you reinforce.
A person who lacks focus or concentration is mentally weak, and a mentally weak person is crushed by life and by their thoughts.
