Measuring the Quality of What You Consume | #181

09/18/22 • 26 min

When was the last time you measured the quality of what you consume?

In this episode, Nick and Ray continue our We Can Only Manage What We Measure series. We all have heard the saying, "We are what we eat". This is indeed the case, but there are other aspects of our consumption that have a significant impact on our quality of life: what we watch, what we read, and what we listen to. By measuring the quality of what we consume in each of these domains, we give ourselves an opportunity to make the proper adjustments to our consumption habits that will help us maintain optimal mental, physical and spiritual well-being.

Here's what you can expect from this episode:

Mindful Moment - Pause, observe 3 DEEP breaths and expand your awareness of what's happening in your mind
Benefits of Measuring Consumption - Nick and Ray share their unique experience with measuring the quality of what they consume
Measurement Tools - Learn a simple and sustainable way to measure the quality of what you consume [MyFitnessPal App]
Leading by Example - Nick and Ray share the connection between our consumption habits and how we pass them down to the next generation of our family
