The Good Life

Where life feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside

Hey there Reader,

If someone asked how mentally fit you are, what would you say?

Not how smart. Not how busy. Not how “together” you seem on the outside.

I mean: How well are you caring for your brain, your thoughts, your focus—your inner world?

This month in the Good Life Book Club, we’re reading Visualise by Maya Raichoora, and she breaks mental fitness into five simple but powerful categories:

Consistency: How often do you train your brain? You don't get abs of steel overnight. the brain works in the same way. It requires regular reps. it's not about being extreme, it's about being consistent.

Cardio: if you don't use it, you'll lose it. activities like doing puzzles or quizzes, journaling, critical thinking, learning and debating proactively engage the brain to keep it sharp.

Diet: Your diet isn't just about the food, it's about the content you watch and listen to, including the conversations you have. You want to feed your mind with the good stuff!

Rest: How do you give your mind a break? Whether it's through sleep, meditation or a digital detox, regular and active rest is crucial for mental recovery. Just as your muscles need time to repair after a workout, your brain needs downtime to process and recharge.

Weightlifting: This is about building flexibility, strength and resilience in the brain. How can you upgrade your mindset to handle life better and achieve your goals? That's where visualisation comes in.

You don’t need to overhaul everything. You don’t even need to hit all five.

But this week, I invite you to pause and ask:

Where are you feeding your mind well? And where might you be starving it, overloading it, or ignoring its needs?

🖋️ Something to consider
