What’s Your Destination?
Average or Optimal
Hello LWA Seekers of Greater Well-BEing!
I am blessed to continue working part time as a physician. It keeps me in the game in what’s going on in healthcare (the good and not so good). I am also privileged to see many patients, year after year, and often decade after decade. I get to “see” what happens with these individuals over the years.
Recently I saw a patient that I have been seeing annually for many years. She is very focused on her health, and it shows. She looks great. She came into my office and boldly stated: “I don’t want average. I want OPTIMAL!” She challenged me to look at her issues and help her with improvements – which we did. She wasn’t going to settle with the adage of: “Well, it’s just part of aging.” She is taking ownership and wanted to know what she needed to do to have an optimal life.
WOW! This is a Growth Mindset! With a growth mindset, you’re never done. You’re constantly learning, taking ownership, and applying strategies. You don’t fail. You just find ways that didn’t work and try others. The Great News: It’s never too late to jump on the Growth Mindset Wellness Wagon and take your life to the next level! It requires 3 things:
A sense of URGENCY. Later is NOW!
A change in our BS (Belief System): Our SLBS (Self-Limiting BS) must be replaced with an LCBS (Life-Changing BS).
OWNERSHIP! I will do whatever it takes. I want OPTIMAL, not average.
Do you want “average” health, “average” happiness, “average” relationships? Or do you desire the amazing life you were created to experience? It’s within all of us. There is always something we can do to make any aspect of our life better. It’s about Living WELL Aware! Listen, Learn, and LIVE the messages of optimal well-BEing.
