This Simple Little Tip is All You Need to Reduce Your Health Information Overload!

by Teresa on

Do you ever feel completely overwhelmed with all the information bombarding you from social media?

I do! In fact, when it comes to certain topics I just want to throw up my hands, walk away and give up.

Those certain topics for me are blogging and health information. Titles like “I made $5000 dollars a month my first year of blogging” make me feel as if I have failed and failed badly. Then I remind myself that nothing can make me feel like a failure unless I allow it!

Concerning health and wellness, there are so many books and articles and blog posts about how to do it right that your mind starts to swirl. I read one book that said you should only eat within a specific 8 hour period each day, another book stating we should eat a little something every 2 hours. I remember when low fat was the popular diet to follow. And of course, “you can’t eat eggs, the cholesterol will kill you,” to “oops, sorry, that was a little over the top, you may now have an egg!”

Health information overload getting you down? This one simple tip is just what you need to get back on track! #health #healthinformation #TuesdayThoughts #babyboomers Click To Tweet

I read this recently and I loved the simplicity of it. It’s called the Self Principle.
