So if you had three things to avoid and three things to do for everyone, what would be the 00:00:11.040 |
top three things that you would pick for both? 00:00:14.400 |
Three things to avoid, I have a new book called YOUR BRAIN IS ALWAYS LISTENING. 00:00:20.880 |
And I would avoid the oblivious bad habit dragon, that's the first thing I'd do. 00:00:25.800 |
I mean I get conscious about loving my brain. 00:00:30.600 |
Too many people are just, they're just oblivious that whether it's the air they breathe or 00:00:36.800 |
the water they drink or the food they eat or the thoughts they think, there's just, 00:00:49.960 |
And then I'd be intentional about food because food is so important. 00:00:56.120 |
I think 30% of the mental health problems in America are due to the standard American 00:01:03.480 |
diet which spells sad, standard American diet. 00:01:07.480 |
It's pro-inflammatory, happy meals are not happy, they're sad meals. 00:01:19.800 |
The gadgets are causing us to be more sedentary, more overweight. 00:01:25.640 |
So for do, it's purposeful, love your brain and move and eat. 00:01:34.440 |
Was that three do's or was that three don'ts? 00:01:39.840 |
Well, love your brain, move, eat, right, and avoid the oblivious bad habit dragon and watch 00:01:50.360 |
the digital addiction and the standard American diet. 00:01:58.800 |
I worked with B.J. Fogg at Stanford for six months. 00:02:05.800 |
It's the smallest thing I can do today that will make the biggest difference. 00:02:12.760 |
But the mother tiny habit is just ask yourself as you go through your day, "Is this good 00:02:22.200 |
And if you can answer that with information and love, love of yourself, love of your mission, 00:02:29.960 |
why you're on the planet, love of your family and friends, begin making better decisions.
