In our society we are all over stimulated and over exposed to so much data and information. most of this is not even in the form of useful information. most is commercialized data attempting to get us to buy something, a lot of that is food oriented. due to this it is very easy for anyone to feel so overwhelmed that they look for a escape. whether it be alcohol, drugs, video games, doomscrooling. these and other ways of mentally attempting to escape this overwhelming feeling are nothing but tricks that actually add to the problem. they and the commercialized data work on the bases of activating our chemical reward system. this activation can provide a feeling of pleasure in the short term. however that feeling quickly fades and we are left back to feeling overwhelmed and the cycle starts again. then throughout that most of us have real life issues to deal with such as a job, family, concerns, and the like.

Mental Fitness is about being able to maintain mental balance of your consciousness and having the strength of mind to resist being pulled one way or another by all this over stimulation. this seems to be getting harder and harder. that is why techniques of routine and habit can be employed to help the mind stay in a healthy state. these techniques have been used for thousands of years by the different spiritual modality from around the world. such as meditation and its variations. pray and worship. ritual humming, singing, dancing.

these seem to help bring the mind back to balance and provide some mental rest as well as work towards separating the mind from the body which would help resist our chemical reward system from being triggered so much. then we can focus more on our real life responsibility without so many distractions.

this is also a way we can adapt to be able to handle more responsibility which can lead to you making more money and with more money (resources) you can make a better life for your self and the ones you love and provide for.

on a more multi-generational plane of thinking. becoming and staying mentally fit leads to evolution of your genetics through the epigenetic expression of certain genes. evolution in this sense is the continued improvement of adaptability to the environment. we as humans have a multi environment adaptation ability. the better we can make this ability for ourselves the better we can set up our off spring and teach them about this. the idea is that it will continue through the generations. this has been the practice of elite familys such as monarchs and others that had great impact in the world. they most likely had a family book that explained this to future generations and each generation added there own info. this all starts with becoming and staying mentally fit. this mental fitness all starts with accountability. that is the ability to be accountable to yourself because no one not even your parents (in some cases, especially your parents) no one wants you to do whats best for you as much as you. then the businesses in this society seem to try to trick you into thinking something is what you want. they do this through the activation of the chemical reward system. that is why we need to learn how to separate the body from the mind. you can learn more about that on my next blog.
