I think when it comes to that resilience and mental toughness, our children are growing up in a different era now than we did and it's hard for us to relate to. Certainly me, I'm 56 in August. There were no phones, there was no social media, There was no YouTube, there was no Internet when I was raised. So it was like whatever you did outside or you got from the library and that kind of stuff. Our world is overcomplicated. It's fast moving. If something bad happens in the world, within an instant the whole planet seems to know about it. It builds on our headspace of, well, I'm already a whole bunch of my own anxieties or stresses and now you're pouring more things in. I like to keep things really simple. And I say what I find stops most people is when it comes to their health and improving, that is what does your health really mean to you.
