Arianna Huffington writes about how your daily behaviors can impact your brain.

TIME

We checked the security cams because an alert went off for the cam in our (4-unit) building’s storage room. Our diagonal upstairs neighbor was in there doing something with her stuff. And brushing her teeth. With an electric toothbrush. No, there isn’t a sink in our storage room.

What do you think?

Idyll

I came from poverty. So in this day and age — even after personally making the grade ­— I can’t fathom, can’t understand how so many people can sit in their car and idle their engine for so long, as if gasoline costs nothing, as if noise wasn’t a societal issue, as if exhaust wasn’t a shared burden.

What are they doing? Playing games? Listening to podcasts? Eating lunch alone? Enjoying the air conditioning? Having a private phone call? Watching a movie on the infotainment system?

It’s been a bit extra since the pandemic started, and it never went away. I can’t grok it. I mean, on a cerebral level, sure, I know why people do it. But is there no urgency in conservation? Of the environment? Of money? Money!

Individually, my contribution to the global greenhouse is tiny, but collectively we weigh heavy. I find myself turning my engine off in the drive-thru because I hate gas stations that much.

Doesn’t anyone else understand their part in this?

Turn off the engine. Roll down the windows and join the world. Or go inside to your couch and big screen and surround sound. Anything else. Please.

​Happy October 1st! This is your official permission slip to reset.
​Behavioral science shows that temporal landmarks like the start of a new month give us a psychological "fresh start"—use that energy! Don't look at the last few months; focus on the next 90 days. Every single day gives you a chance to prove to yourself that you are capable of change.
