Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey everyone, Leo Weston here and welcome back to Addicted
to Nothing. Take back control. Ever, feel like you're just
going through the motions, like you're living someone else's life,
reacting instead of acting, well, let me tell you there's
a reason for that. It all comes down to what
we consume, not just food and water, but the information,
the entertainment, the experiences we choose day in and day out.

(00:24):
It shapes who we become, like clay molded into whatever
shape someone desires. Today, we're diving deep into this concept
because understanding it is the first step to taking control
of your life. Let's be honest. We live in a
world overflowing with information, from news headlines screaming at us
to social media feeds showcasing curated versions of other people's lives.

(00:46):
It can feel overwhelming, right, But here's the kicker. What
you choose to consume, consciously or unconsciously, directly impacts your thoughts,
your beliefs, and ultimately your actions. Think about it like this.
If you're constantly feeding yourself negativity, whether it's news about conflict,
drama on social media, or even just complaining from people

(01:06):
around you, guess what you start to see the world
through that negative lens, you become more cynical, more doubtful,
and less likely to take risks or pursue your dreams. Now,
don't get me wrong, Staying informed is crucial and there
are amazing things out there to learn and be inspired by.
But it's about being mindful of what you allow into
your mind. Seek out content that uplifts you, challenges you

(01:30):
in a positive way, and expands your horizons. Look for
stories of resilience, innovation, and kindness. Surround yourself with people
who inspire you and bring positivity into your life. Remember,
you have the power to choose what shapes you. Don't
let negativity dictate your reality. Another key takeaway is understanding
the difference between entertainment and genuine connection. I'm talking about

(01:53):
that mindless scrolling on social media, watching hours of TV shows,
or getting lost in video games. It can feel good
in the moment, but it often leaves us feeling empty
and unfulfilled. Instead, try investing your time in real life experiences.
Connect with friends and family, pursue hobbies that bring you joy,
Volunteer your time to a cause you believe in. These

(02:15):
are the things that truly enrich our lives and create
lasting memories. And let's not forget about self care. What
you consume doesn't just apply to external sources. It also
applies to your own thoughts and feelings. Are you constantly
engaging in negative self talk, dwelling on past mistakes, or
worrying about the future. This can be incredibly draining and

(02:36):
prevent you from living fully in the present moment. Practice mindfulness, gratitude,
and positive affirmations. Treague yourself with kindness and compassion. Remember
you deserve to feel good about yourself. Think about that
friend who always seems to have a sunny disposition even
when things get tough. They're not necessarily immune to challenges.

(02:56):
They just choose to focus on the positive aspects of life.
They cultivate their own internal landscape, actively seeking out uplifting
experiences and nurturing their emotional well being. That's what we're
talking about here, Taking ownership of your consumption habits, both
external and internal. It's a conscious decision to create a
life that aligns with your values, fuels your passions, and

(03:18):
brings you genuine joy. So how do we put this
into practice? Start small. Take a look at your daily routine.
What are you consuming most social media feeds filled with negativity,
news headlines designed to evoke fear. Challenge yourself to limit
exposure to those things and actively seek out more positive,
inspiring content. Spend less time passively consuming and more time

(03:42):
engaging in activities that bring you fulfillment. Connect with people
who uplift you, Explore new hobbies, spend time in nature,
or simply practice being present in the moment. Remember this
isn't about perfection. It's about making conscious choices that align
with your values and create a life you love. This
is your journey, Folks. What you consume shapes who you become,

(04:04):
so choose wisely take back control of your narrative, one
mindful choice at a time. Don't forget to share this
episode with some one who could benefit from hearing it,
and leave us a review if you found it helpful.
Join me tomorrow for another dose of inspiration and practical
tips to help you live your best life. Until then,
keep shining. This podcast is created with the help of

(04:31):
advanced AI to deliver thoughtful affirmations and positive messages just
for you.
