My mind starts turning to mush about half way through the morning.
I am finding that listening to podcasts can firm it up a bit. It is a risk. Podcasts can also turn your mind to stagnant pools by the content they feed you, but if you have a solid foundation you can see the nonsense and move beyond it. Use at your own risk.
This is of even greater worth in the late afternoon and early evening. If I find myself watching a spot on the wall with my mind turned off I reason that I have nothing to lose by putting a couple of talking heads in front of my face. Usually it stimulates my brain enough that when I get restless watching the screen I can go to reading again.
Occasionally I even learn something. It isn’t necessarily important or even true but at least I can learn the mindset of people who don’t seem to believe that there is a God or that He is active in our world. At best I can be informed by people who actually have something to tell me.
A win/win.
