Lately, I’ve been on a bit of a mission to be more mindful about what I’m feeding my mind. I mean, I love a good reality TV binge and true crime podcast as much as the next person, but I started noticing something. After hours of watching dramatic showdowns or listening to chilling crime stories, my mind felt… well, a little cluttered. It was like my motivation took a nosedive, and my patience? Yeah, that flew out the window. I know it sounds a bit over-the-top, but seriously, try switching things up for a day and see how you feel.
So, in an effort to clear the mental fog and start my day with a bit more sparkle, I’ve been reaching for books that uplift and inspire.
