And Then Some News

This Thursday’s essay is “Be Aware of the Myths that Guide Your Life.” Myths guide your actions. As important as it is for you to exercise, follow effective nutrition guidelines, and get sufficient sleep, in many cases your attempts to do what will keep you healthy are affected by and, thus, in some cases, contravened by myths. Some of these myths are wired into you, and no matter what scientific evidence is offered, they remain anchored, fixed, and secure.

Be Aware of the Myths that Guide Your Life
by Richard L. Weaver II

Excerpt:
(After discussing why myths have such a stranglehold on you, I then ask the question:) But, what about the myths that guide your everyday life in the areas of exercise, nutrition, and sleep? How powerful are they? Without them, you are lost. Why? Because they create meaning out of your life and actions. Because they make you believe that you matter, that your daily life has meaning, and that your activities fulfill the myths that guide your actions.
