By Marilyn Olson, Executive Director, VillagesOKC
You have a mindset. I have a mindset.
Each of us has a way of thinking. It is simply how we view life – our first response to everything. A mindset can be one of scarcity, negativity, or just a string of negative thoughts. Conversely, a mindset can be one of abundance and positive thoughts.
How do we get there? How do we develop a mindset? A mindset is developed through practice and habits. And I can choose, daily, what habits I practice.
Every day I have the opportunity choose the thoughts I think and the words I speak. This begins a habit and creates a mindset. Choosing to speak about AGING with confidence, positivity, joy and purpose gives me energy.

I’ve read that it actually stimulates brain cells and heightens mental reactions such as creative thinking, intellectual adaptability and increased attention span. And most importantly, a positive mindset helps me think in terms of “we” instead of “me.” Now that’s a reason to be positive!
The things I do today determine habits I have tomorrow which determine my mindset for life. So to determine what your mindset is, just go back to what you do daily. Are my thoughts and words positive? My mindset, my way of thinking is my choice!
