What you feed your mind first becomes the foundation upon which your entire day is built.

And that is the thought for today.

Welcome to Seven Good Minutes. I'm Clyde Lee Dennis.

Thanks for joining me for what I believe

will be seven of the most enriching minutes of your day. In today's episode of Seven Good

Minutes, we talk about feeding your soul before the world feeds you chaos. Enjoy.

In the quiet moments before dawn, before your phone starts buzzing with notifications, and the world begins

By the end of this episode, you'll understand the profound impact of protecting your mental space in the morning,

and you'll have practical strategies to nourish your mind

before the noise of the world takes over.
