As we age, the connections between our brain cells -- called
synapses, which are formed during the process of learning -- begin to falter. This means that we have increasing difficulty
in retrieving memories as we get older. Researchers
believe that the deterioration of synapses is caused by extensive cell loss in
various parts of our brain.
So…avoid mental trash. Don't let your brain become a septic system for
anything that does not feed your spirituality, stimulate your imagination, or
make you a more compassionate peaceful person. Refuse to open your mind to
other people's trash without investigating for yourself. Tune out anything that promotes negativity or
conflict, which spread cynicism and feelings of defeat.
Begin each day with something uplifting, intelligent, and
motivational. Do this for yourself and
those around you deliberately. This will
set you up for a glorious day and you can easily saturate yourself with
positive words from our Savior that fuel your energy and ignite your
spirit. He instructed us by saying “follow
me” not “admire me” so take a few steps each day to follow His lead.
