The Silent Pandemics
1. We don't eat real food.
2. We don't exercise.
3. We sit at desks and then come home to sit on couches.
4. We numb our emotions with food, drugs & alcohol, which makes the emotions come back even worse.
5. We decided that the sun is dangerous for our health.
6. We don't allow ourselves to be bored anymore.
7. We created a pill for every ill.
8. We've decided that being entertained is more important than living.
9. We have a constant connection to our devices but no connection to ourselves & our communities.
10. We eat too many calories but not enough nutrition.
11. Testosterone levels are declining and some people think that’s a good thing.
12. Some scientists promote sugary cereals to be more nutritious than eggs and beef.
13. We believe our feelings are facts.
14. We want to cancel others we disagree with and people who hang around others we disagree with.
15. Pharma companies are second to tech companies in marketing spend to consumers.
16. We trade our sleep for more social media time, which messes up our sleep even more.
17. We are mentally unhealthy because we're physically unhealthy.
18. There's a health food section in the grocery store when it should be where the whole foods are.
19. We get exposed to the extremes on social media and think they are the reality we live in.
20. People watch mainstream news to keep us informed when they’re incentivized to keep us angry & scared.
21. We put focus too much on money & status and not enough on health, family & community.
I don't have all the answers but I believe that we can live better lives by doing the opposite of this list.
Take action. Be proactive.
it’s never too late to change the energy for the day. even if you woke up late or aggravated, take time out 5 mins to breathe, meditate, journal or read. this reset makes all the difference.
i am focused on the present because that is where i am the most powerful. the past has happened. the future is yet to come. right now is under my control and i will take advantage of that.
This is Bobo. He just celebrated his 22nd birthday. Born on April 5, 1999, he lived with the same human until they went to assisted living a few months ago. Bobo now spends his time in a senior dog community home, where he is the oldest of eight. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday
Social media isn’t a place for opinions anymore. Too many people have the time of day to twist your words into the narrative they want it to fit. Best to just mind your business and post memes here and there lmao.
