While we might not like to admit it–it’s often not a lot of fun getting older. 

Are you:

• Starting to develop aches and pains in various parts of your body?
• Realizing that you no longer have the energy to participate in your favourite activities?
• Thinking that a life full of health, vitality, energy, adventure, and connection is starting to fade away?
• Worried that your family history of “diseases of the aging” have doomed you to the same fate?
• Starting to develop more serious chronic illnesses?
• Starting to see evidence of cognitive decline like brain fog, faulty memory, and losing your words?
• And has this led to having worries about developing dementia, especially Alzheimer’s?

The good news is that many of the negative stereotypes and dogmatic beliefs about aging are proving to be false, or at least not what applies to everyone.  

New research is showing that we are not doomed by our genes, and they don't control our biology or determine the person we can be. 

On the contrary, recent studies reveal that individual nutrition, lifestyle, environment, attitude, and the friends we interact with play a far greater role than genetics in determining how well we age and who thrives in later life.

And while we often think of the body and mind as being separate, what affects one, affects the other.  In fact, it’s now becoming clear that physiologically, there is no separation between the two, and so developing practices to help with a physical issue may also help support our brains!

Because those resolutions often come from what we think we should be doing.

And it turns out that simply trying to think a new habit into existence, using only the logical side of our brain, and using willpower to drive our behaviour, isn't nearly enough.

Choosing a new habit to develop will be more successful if it’s something we deeply know to be important and valuable to our life.  

And how do we gain that deeper knowing?  

By listening to the wisdom of the body!

Research shows that developing practices such as mindfulness, meditation, self-care and healthy choices will go a long way to support a transition to a new you – less stressed, more resilient, better able to thrive in this ever-changing world.

We’ve all had moments where we’ve felt the wisdom of the body, whether gut feelings, or a knowing in the heart.  And we’ve often recognized that these feelings are in opposition to the logical messages from your head!

Which part of you is right?  Which part of you knows the “truth”?

James Clear, author of Atomic Habits, advises us to start small!  

Start by picking a habit that doesn’t need a lot of motivation.  He states that 

“Rather than trying to do something amazing from the beginning, start small and gradually improve. Along the way, your willpower and motivation will increase, which will make it easier to stick to your habit for good.”

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result."

We’ve all heard this quote attributed to Albert Einstein.

So let me ask you this:

If you are unhappy with the direction that the health of your brain, and your body, are headed, 

1. Will you continue on in that same direction, and in the belief that “you are just getting old” and that this decline is inevitable?
2. Or will you TAKE ACTION NOW!  And make the sustainable changes that “turn back time” and Save your Brain without Losing your Mind?
