Mindsets Matter
Do you think of growing old as an inevitable process of deterioration, both mind and body, or a process where we continue to grow wisdom and gain growth? Its all in how we think of it, right, our mindset? Read on:
The first cartoon demonstrates how most of our country sees older people. It presents a certain mindset, which we, in turn, may begin to believe because we see it so often.
I would like to share this fascinating YouTube video, from Dr. Alia Crum, that suggests that our mindsets matter.
Dr. Crum shares four different studies on mindset and how it affects the medicine we take, the exercise we do or don’t do, our diet, and even how we view stress! The premise of this YouTube video suggests that mindset is not just some inconsequential
process, but can have a dramatic role in determining our health and well being.
Although it does not focus necessarily on the aging process, it does allude to the work that is being done in that area. Research is being conducted that shows mindset not only shapes how we grow old but possibly how it can extend our life. If you have 18 minutes to spare, I think it’s worth the listen!
