Mental Food

Just as our nutrition shapes our health, what we feed our minds also has a powerful influence on who we become.

Today, with constant access to an almost infinite stream of information through mobile phones, what we choose to consume becomes the food that nourishes—or weakens—our thoughts.

As always, knowing this is one thing. Acting on it, by building healthier habits, is another. And that choice can only be made by you.

Sadly, with algorithms guiding what we see more and more, it has become harder to choose what is truly good for our minds.

Why?
Because, just like junk food, the “mental junk” is quick, easy, and instantly rewarding. Healthier options require effort, and without noticing, we often choose the easier path.

We know how addictive screens and endless scrolling can be.

And the hardest truth is this: the younger the mind, the greater the impact.

Protecting our youth is our shared responsibility.

Step by step, little by little, what had seemed impossible at first suddenly became possible, even easy. And by following the few principles…

    Before the revelation of the StarDust to everyone, the presence within each Esper of a Shadow of their own had sometimes been glimpsed, suspected, or felt, but never had it been so easy to perceive. It was therefore a new experience for many, intriguing, surprising, sometimes even difficult and trying, but always real. For this…

    Vangel, our little dog from the Land of Fire, was torn between the hope that what he was undertaking could truly change things, and the fear that the inertia of the system might simply be too strong. But he was convinced of one thing: if those who think do not act, then nothing will change…

Since then, he had regained what many individuals in modern society had lost: time. Time for himself, to reflect, and to try to understand the world in which he lived, as well as…

    Simba, our little monkey companion from the land of lightning, was beginning to see a little more clearly when it came to awareness. This was mysterious: it now seemed innate to the Espers of the planet, while still needing to be developed. Although he had sensed that several levels of awareness seemed to exist, he…

    Seeing the world from a different perspective than others can be alienating, and can then make you feel as though you are alone in the world. Cha Cha, our little platypus companion, had long been very detached from what was considered normal. As with everyone, what he had experienced during his childhood and the environment…

    The Espers were far from perfect. Learning from their mistakes was therefore also a natural way for them to grow.But in a society where the right to make mistakes was becoming less and less accepted, learning from one’s own mistakes was also becoming increasingly difficult. The image of success had changed. At the height of…
