6 Brain Damaging Habits You May Want to Quit

The truth is “Reality TV is junk food for our brain, and in the same way that junk food rots our teeth and makes us sick, bad reality TV rots our brain and makes us rude”.

What we watch has a definite subconscious effect on us. When you walk out of a theater after watching Captain America, you naturally feel righteous, selfless, and even patriotic.

Over a period of time, we imbibe within us the same emotions and qualities we see on screen. I can intuitively know a lot about you by the kind of content you watch. Because it has a significant effect on our consciousness, moods, and behaviors.

Multitasking is chipping away at your concentration one interruption at a time.

People who multitask all the time can’t:

1. filter out irrelevancy
2. manage a working memory
3. are chronically distracted
4. are terrible at multitasking

Figure out your ONE Thing . Ruthlessly prioritize your life to only focus on the essentials. The fear of not completing our to-do list is the reason behind our multitasking habit.

The solution isn’t to work more. The solution is to chip the list short and only keep what matters. Once you do that, you’ll no longer feel the pressure to do ten different things at one time.

Sugar consumption can lead to a spike in blood sugar levels and create abnormal blood flow patterns in the brain. Excessive sugar consumption can also lead to oxidative stress which in turn leads to moods, depression, poor memory, low concentration, and slower thinking.

Basically, your brain will underperform and you won’t even know why.

To control your sugar intake, I’d suggest journaling your food choices for a day or two. By being extra vigilant, checking labels, and even avoiding processed food, you’ll be off to a good start.
