Here is the episode description from Wendy’s website, Hey Boomer:
This episode was live on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and I started it by reading a portion of the “I have a Dream” speech. Which led to my first question. “Is hope and positivity the same thing, and how important are they to our mental health as we age?”
Positivity and mindset highlights:
- Having a positive attitude helps people recovering from an illness or accident.
- We do better when we look for success and look for improvement.
- In other words, you see what you look for.
- A positive mindset can help you stay healthy and live longer.
Resilience highlights:
- Some personality styles tend to be more resilient.
- Resilience can be learned, it may be an untapped skill.
- What can you do when life gets hard? Try to find at least one good thing.
Aging is about adapting to change and staying engaged. We do this by recognizing what we can and what we cannot control.
Episode Takeaways:
- Be ready to start new chapters. You don’t have to let yesterday define who you are today.
- Look for what’s right; become the change you want to be.
