Very few of us think with equal intentionality about what we put in our minds. In this episode I make the case that your attention is a health variable. What it lands on, repeatedly, becomes the environment your nervous system lives in. And that environment is either building your capacity or quietly eroding it. I share the filter I personally use when I notice I am feeling overwhelmed: what have I been consuming? Because so often the anxiety is not about my life. It is about the inputs I have been absorbing. Alarming news, outrage-based content, comparison-provoking social media, these things do not just feel bad. They train the nervous system to operate in a state of low-level threat response. You have far more agency over this than you might think. And exercising it is one of the most health-promoting things available to you. Ready to go deeper?
