What do you choose to put into your brain on a daily basis? Books? Social media? Movies? Podcasts? Over the past week, I tried Julia Cameron's reading deprivation exercise from The Artist's Way. During that time, I learned a lot about what I choose to allow into my brain space. Some of it serves me well and some doesn't. Going forward, I know more about what I want to keep in my reading rotation and what I'm better off without.
During this week of no reading, I experienced lower anxiety, more free time, more focus, more energy, and more creativity. The benefits of clearing out my reading life for a week were huge and they gave me clarity on how to consume more intentionally now that I'm reading again. The meditation in this episode will guide you to visualize and feel the clarity, peace, and energy that you might feel when choosing to be more intentional with what you read and consume. It's perfect if you're feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, low on time, or creatively zapped. Whether you're thinking of going on a social media cleanse or you just want to find more energy throughout the day, this episode might be the inspiration you need.
