It's So Damn Hard to Find yOuR pUlsE...

Heart Pulse... by majidazeemis.Flickr

I know, trust me, the doctor recently expressed this sentiment when trying to locate my 45bpm hear rate. 

But I also know that the followers of this blog might not be able to trace the pulse of my published content. I know it's erratic and I'm sorry (maybe?). I've got a lot going on but who doesn't these days?

I can't promise any regular publishing like Seth Godin (1x/day) or Mitch Joel (6x/week) admirably do. I'll do my best to create quality observations, thoughts or questions as they come to my brain.

And this is a perfect segway into my latest thought:

FEED YOUR BRAIN WHEN IT IS HUNGRY

Hopefully your mind is hungry for knowledge, understanding and experiences often. But just as our stomachs are not constantly aching for sustenance, your mind isn't either. 

So, when you get that creative spark or spontaneous motivation GO read relevant blogs/books/articles, listen to podcasts, and watch TED, BigThink, or PopTech videos. Feed your mind when it picks up the menu, not when it's perfectly content with resting. Don't regularly schedule mundane reading sessions or lecture watching just for the sake of doing so. You'll be disinterested and likely retain little of the content. 

Here's a question for you in the comments: When do you feed your mind and What do you feed it?
