Have you heard of Prehabilitation? Our friends at Growing Bolder say it is aging's ultimate no brainer, because it's a 100% certainty that we'll all experience a series of physical setbacks as we age. It's part of the human condition. And to a large degree, the types of interventions available to us when we suffer those setbacks and the extent of our recovery afterwards are determined by our overall condition at the time, not by our age.
Prehabilitation for our health can be exercise, simple daily movement, and positive lifestyle modification. It's the key to reducing future healthcare costs and the impact of future health setbacks.
But we should all be prehabilitating in all areas of our life, not only to prepare for life's inevitable setbacks, but also to take advantage of life's never-ending opportunities.
Take a look around. Is where you live still the right fit for you? Or is it time to downsize? If so, what are you waiting for? We all know that if we’re waiting for the “right time” to do most anything, we’ll be waiting a very long time. Today is a great time to begin to take steps toward a future you want.
Moving can seem overwhelming – what to keep, what to get rid of, where to move to. But great resources and a positive mindset that helps your willingness to adapt go a long way to helping you choose to take action now, instead of waiting for life events to force your hand.
Making the decision to relocate is half the battle. Have you ever tried visualization? If not, you should give it a try. Visualization is imagining in great detail the feeling of successfully completing a task. It's a shortcut to success because the brain is incapable of telling the difference between real success and vividly imagined success. It's a technique that's now employed by nearly every world-class athlete.
One area in which visualization is rarely applied is positive aging, and that's a shame because it's one of the most powerful and important tools for reprogramming your belief system. Visualize yourself growing stronger, not weaker, as you age. Visualize yourself becoming more active, more social, more flexible, more resilient. If your mind believes it, so will your body.
Visualize yourself saying yes to opportunities, making new friends, and living in a home or community you love. And visualize the move there being stress-free!
