You think carefully about what you put in your mouth. You wouldn’t pick up food off a fotpath and eat it. You know you can eat chocolate or chips for every meal. You allow yourself some treats but you try to keep it in balance.
Do you think as hard about what you fill your mind with? I can never eat MacDonalds again after watching Supersize me. In the same manner I couldn’t ever bring myself to read a MIlls and Boons. Any Jackie Collins novel is off my list too. There are so many great books out there and so many interesting and thoughtful blogs, I don’t need to be filling my mind with the written equivalent of junk food.
Every now and then you need to take a brain vacation. Just like once in a while you treat yourself to sugary fatty snack sometimes you just yearn to read something which relaxes the mind. Or something which your mind processes as fast as candyfloss dissolves in your mouth.
I decided to treat myself to a Doctor Who novel – well okay, 2 Doctor Who novels. Then I wondered how they compared with Torchwood novels. I’ve just picked up my second Woodie novel for the week. This is starting to feel like a binge. I managed to read a graphic novel as well. It is a history of a family who lived during the holocaust. It was an amazing story and so well done but the balance is still off and I thirst for more Torchwood. My brain is enjoying its holiday from worthier tomes.
