Today's most outstanding thoughts for Becoming the Master of Your Own Mind and achieving a bit of contentment and happiness.
Notable excerpts:
- Pursue meaning over pleasure.
- Simply reading a book can lower stress levels, help you sleep better, keep your brain sharp, and also stave off Alzheimer's. But before you turn to your Kindle, take note: Reading on screens may drain more mental resources and make it harder to remember what we've read after we're done, as compared to reading on paper.
- A recent poll found that millennials are even more forgetful than seniors, due, at least in part, to their reliance on technology.
- Unplug and recharge. Over-reliance on technology has been linked with increased stress levels, reduced focus and productivity, stunted creativity and poor sleep quality. Many of us never take a break from our devices, even when we're supposed to be relaxing (nearly 60 percent of Americans stay plugged in to work while they're on vacation).
