GET A CLEAR HEAD
ABOUT BRAIN DRAIN
To keep car engines
clean and degreased there’s a product out there called, “Gunk.” Negative thinking, anxiety, obsession,
compulsion, anger and depression amount to gunk for our brain. Just like a car, your brain needs to be kept
clean and unclogged. So you can start by
tossing ignorance about aging right out the door. And do it with a swift kick, too, because the
sooner you get rid of brain drain – the sooner you get rid of all of that
clogged up junk in your head – the sooner you behold brain power!
In my research for
my book, Aging Gracefully, I found a
bevy of scientific and technological evidence that supports positive longevity
well beyond our 80’s. But what I’ve also
found is that many of us are still hanging on to stale belief systems about
aging, still believing that once we’re in our 50’s, our lives are pretty much
over. That’s ‘stinkin’ thinkin’. So:
“Hogwash!”, to that!
Cars today have a GPS,
(Global Positioning System), to navigate roads to get you where you need to
go. You have a PRS, (Personal Retrieval
System), it’s called your mind, to get you what you need to and more.
Your mind is like a
computer. Computers are designed to
imitate our brains – not the other way around.
Focus your life on what has already been learned and what can be done
with your vast, knowledge base, your Personal Retrieval System. Your accrued knowledge base and life
experience far exceeds that of those from younger generations. So remember that the next time someone tries
intimidating you about your age, about being older than they are. It’ll be the younger generation who are
behind the times with their out dated thinking about aging. And you can take that to the bank!
