How "HUNGER" can determine "REALITY"!

It was once said . . . We see the world, not as it is . . . but as we "are"!

What a profound statement that is . . .

But, what does it really mean???

Well . . . one of the main reasons our "perception" of "reality" in life can be clouded . . . is whether we're "hungry" or "not" . . .

You see . . . as I stated yesterday . . . our body's "energy" level and "limbic system" . . . impact our decision-making.

And this is why children who eat a healthy breakfast do better in school and have fewer behavioral problems.

When we're naturally "hungry" before a meal . . . or when we're on a diet restricting our caloric intake . . . "hunger" DELAYS development on the cognitive, social or emotional levels.

Which includes everything from reading, attention, memory and problem-solving.

And with this . . . "hunger" has the ability to CLOUD our judgement and our focus in life's situations.

This is where our "perception" is NOT even close to "reality" . . . comes into play.

And I know, I know . . . we just spoke about the U.S. being a nation of NON STOP SNACK EATERS!!!!

So, how can out "perception" of life be "clouded" . . . IF . . . we're always eating???

Well . . . that would be due to ALL THAT SNACKING . . . or eating NON-COMPLIANT foods . . . being NUTRITIONALLY VOID foods.

So, if you're in a stressful situation and need to make an informed decision that's close to the "reality" in life . . . make sure you have "complaint, nutritional" food in your stomach . . .

Because that NUTRTITIONALLY VOID food leads to a feeling of PARANOIA, LOW SELF-ESTEEM and ANXIOUSNESS!!!!

You see . . . even "mild" dehydration . . . can cause a "negative" impact on cognitive abilities.

It can also contribute to mood swings, fatigue, irritability and anxiety.

And due to the brain and its "limbic system" being very sensitive to "fluid level changes" . . . dehydration can impact how we process information and "perceive" our environment.

So, how does "perception" of "reality" manipulate our mind in today's world???

Well . . . our "emotions" have the job of giving us a "red or green" light toward approaching or avoiding objects, people and situations . . . which shapes our "perception" accordingly.

And each individual has his or her own "perception" of "reality" due to the color of their glasses, so to speak.

You see . . . reality never changes . . . and it's a fixed factor in the equation of life . . . it always HOLDS TRUE . . .

But, what "does" change from person to person is the "perception" of that "reality" and that is always a "variable".

So, how do we learn to "change" our perception to a more "grounded reality"???

Well . . . most importantly . . . we need to get a handle our "HUNGER vs THIRST issues

As Lolly Daskal once said . . .

"You always have a choice - You can control your mind . . . Or . . . You can let "it" control you".

So, in "reality" people . . . we as a society . . . NEED TO DRINK MORE WATER . . . and do LESS "SNACKING"!!!!

Have a great weekend . . . stay safe and healthy . . . and remember to be "mindful" in your world.
