Beyond the Headlines: A Journey to Building a Personalized Information Diet

In a world where information is readily available at our fingertips, it's more important than ever to be mindful of what we consume. Just as we carefully choose the foods we eat to maintain a balanced diet, it's crucial to curate the sources of information that shape our mental models and understanding of the world.

Think about it: just as an unhealthy diet can lead to physical illness, an unbalanced information diet can impact our mental and emotional wellbeing, leading to anxiety, fear, and a skewed perception of reality.

So, what do we do to avoid this?

Enter the concept of the carefully curated information diet. Similar to the idea of a wellness retreat, it's about taking a step back and reassessing what sources of information you're consuming on a daily basis.

It's time to say goodbye to the mainstream news that often focuses on fear-mongering and sensationalism. Instead, opt for sources that you like and trust.

Some examples of trustworthy sources I enjoy include:

• Economics Explained, for a clearer understanding of the economy

• Quanta Magazine, for the latest developments in science and mathematics

• Kurzgesagt on YouTube, for visually stunning and informative explainer videos

• The Tim Ferriss Show and All in Pod, for thought-provoking interviews with leaders in various fields

By carefully curating your information diet, you're taking control of the information that shapes your reality. It's about choosing sources that align with your values, provide valuable insights, and don't perpetuate fear. The benefits are twofold: not only will you feel more empowered and informed, but you'll also find yourself less affected by the negativity often found in mainstream news.

In a world where information is readily available, it's crucial to be intentional about what we choose to consume.

This is one of the things we will focus on during our One-on-One Coaching and mentoring sessions. Curating an information diet that is right for you for you to stay informed and reach your goals.

So, start your information diet today, and take control of the narratives that shape your understanding of the world.
