On Mental Resources

In my opinion, the most important resources of the human mind (besides food, nutrients and omega-3) are:

  • Attention – the now resource, doing
  • Attitude – the future resource, thinking
  • Experience – the past resource, reflecting

When you want to become more resourceful or create new approaches to a life’s problem, it’s good to understand this triangle and how the angles feed or hinder the growth of the whole.

It’s not a one-day fix, but a good start is to pay attention (ha!) to the current weakest link and strengthen that process and its quality with daily practice, e.g.:

  • Breathing exercises, meditation
  • Reading books that challenge you, and
  • Journaling.

When you have done these for ten years, do ten more years, and ten after that.
