“The normal experience of the body and its ageing is a conditioned response – a habit of thinking and behaviour. By changing your habits of thinking and behaviour, you can change the experience of your body and its ageing.” Deepak Chopra

Introduction To Mindset

When asked what surprised him most about humanity, the Dalai Lama said about Man:
He sacrifices his health to make money and then has to sacrifice his money for his health. He’s so anxious about his future that he doesn’t enjoy the present with the result that he doesn’t live in either the present or the future. He lives as if he’s never going to die and then dies having never really lived.
Our Environment
We’re all programmed by our environment. For example, consider these questions:
- What kind of food do you eat? How active are you?
- How much time do you spend sitting? How much sleep do you get?
- How dependent are you on your mobile phone? Do you manage your email or does it manage you? How much television do you watch?
- How often do you feel anxious, stressed out or even overwhelmed?
Your Mindset
Your mindset is your set of current assumptions and beliefs. They can be positive, negative, rigid, flexible or some combination of these. You can have an inflexible mindset or a flexible, growth-oriented one. It’s up to you – you can choose the latter and this is crucial to your success.
What you believe does not have to remain fixed; you can change your mind if you want to and your new underlying beliefs will be reinforced by your new experiences. You can manage your mindset to be successful and your age should not stop you. Whatever you do, don’t say you’re too old. It all depends on your attitude. If you’re positive and believe you can, then you can.
Example – Moving Mindset
You’ll hear us talk a lot about the importance of developing a “moving mindset” to overcome our tendency towards an ever-increasing sedentary lifestyle. To do this successfully, you first have to know, understand and then accept that a sedentary lifestyle is bad for you and that you can relatively quickly change your behaviour by developing a “moving mindset” which you can apply throughout your day. For example:
- Take the stairs whenever and wherever you can.
- Stand up and walk around your office/home, when on the phone.
- Hold as many outdoor, walking meetings as you can.
Forever Young Club
The Forever Young Club will give you the opportunity to revisit your mindset. You’ll discover how to shape your mindset so it doesn’t limit who you are and who you can become. Your health and happiness are all that really matter. You’re the architect of your journey, your adventure, your life. Life isn’t a rehearsal, it’s a performance. You have the power to explore the mindset you need to create a legacy and realise your dreams.
