61: Mastering Your Mental Diet: Controlling Your Environment and Mindset

Try Life On

Welcome to another episode of Try Life On! Today, Maurice shares highlights from a powerful coaching call, diving deep into mental diets and controlling your environment. Maurice loves coaching others, but it's nuggets of wisdom he receives from coaching students that inspire and reinvigorate his Try Life On mindset.

So, what is a mental diet? It's about allowing your mind to focus on what truly interests you, rather than consuming everything around you. We are constantly consuming negative information having no bearing on what we actually care for in life. In actuality, our external world is a reflection of our internal thoughts. If we let in information we don’t want, our world will reflect that. So your goal is to restrict non-impactful information you are receiving in order to Try Life On more.

Maurice reflects on 5 books he read over and over during a 20 year period. Those books on real estate, investing, lifestyle design, and finding man’s purpose drove his current life. He restricted himself to that information to make sure his world came to be.

He also reflects on being a black man living in Lebanon. Being in his coastal environment means he’s not subjected to typical US based negative media, political conversation, and other information not beneficial to his journey and that of his family, all by controlling his environment. In doing so he controls the information that reaches his brain, filtering out negative thoughts and facts that could weigh him down.
