Short transcript excerpt from a YouTube conversation (Feb 9, 2024) featuring Robert Whitfield MD discussing mindset for healthy aging. Speakers encourage imagining future decades (e.g., being healthier at 65 than at 55), cultivating a can-do mindset, and counting daily wins to make the next decade your best decade.
The third motto is making your best, your next decade, your best decade. So imagine you arrive, you'll be 55. So imagine what do you want to have happen when you're 65, Rob, in order for you to arrive in a healthier condition than you are now? Like if you put it through that lens it's oh yeah, I could actually be healthier at 65 than 55. And definitely.
Now that that attitude I see unfortunately a lot of people who have now mindset is Reagan, it's a big problem. It's a big is understatement. So if you don't have the proper mindset, all of the things we're discussing seem unattainable.
But you.
Know, getting yourself in the proper mindset that you can do something, you know, counting your wins every day because you have them irrespective of what they are, you have them.
Yeah.
Showing yourself gratitude. If you have to journal it and write it down, then do that.
