Project quote: 

“The huge contrast between some people who are older than 65 who are having a blast… and others who…live in fear of…experiencing significant health decline…seems to boil down to two things: Positive mindset [and] Healthy lifestyle habits.” (A.B., G.B., How to Look and Feel Younger After 40 Naturally, 2018)

My thoughts: 

I’ve also observed this difference to be true among those over 65 that I’ve known personally. Foresight is definitely preferred to hindsight when it comes to health. Knowing this now that I’m at the end of my forties forces me to do what I can to improve both my mindset and habits, because I can’t go back in time. I find that many my age who have already experienced major health issues have a difficult time remaining positive and think that there’s nothing they can do to improve their situation.

It’s a struggle to fight this common attitude, but necessary. I try to make a conscious effort to steer conversations away from poor health to something positive, related to positive habits and events. In my opinion, life is about how we deal with our problems, not about accepting whatever happens as inevitable.

So I continue to reestablish good habits and remind myself of goals and things I’m grateful for. As they say, today’s another new day. 😊
