Want to Live Longer? Change Your Mind About Aging #shorts

Want to live longer. Reframe negative thoughts about getting older. If we think life is over in old age, it will be. We can use cognitive behavioral tactics to master negative thoughts over time. We build a habit of reframing negative thoughts as positive ones. Our thinking is habitual, not conscious. So the first step is to learn to catch yourself when thinking negatively and make a commitment to change how you look at things. Recognize that the way you're thinking is is not necessarily the only way to think about a situation. Just that thought alone can decrease the toxic effect of negativity. Step two is to substitute a better thought that is credible. As we age, we become familiar with losing the physical capabilities we once had. Don't ruminate on it. Focus on what you can do, not what you can't.
