There were so many \u2018aha\u2019 moments that came out of CCC\u2019s outstanding Science of Positivity class I could do a month\u2019s worth of blogging!\u00a0 For today\u2019s purpose I will keep it to my title and my chosen fields of expertise.\u00a0 The relatively new field of Neuroplasticity is a direction I\u2019ve been heading in ever since the first webinar because it has applications in my field as a Personal Trainer as well as being a Wellness Coach.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m getting old!\u00a0 P.S. so are you!\u00a0 For all of the sixty years of my life my sole experience of aging is that \u201cit sucks\u201d.\u00a0 Okay, maybe 99 percent.\u00a0 The conventional wisdom has been that as you age you lose it\u2026.it being strength, mental acuity, and the rest that any of you over the age of 50 will nod your head to in agreement.\u00a0 Thankfully science has taken over conventional wisdom!<\/p>\n

The quintessential surrendering of our physique, mental and physical strength has been a con!\u00a0 One that we were sadly unaware of until now.\u00a0 It makes complete sense.\u00a0 There has not been the technology to counter this so-called conventional wisdom until recent years.\u00a0 Now we know that the brain and the body don\u2019t have to atrophy.\u00a0 They don\u2019t even have to accept the status quo.\u00a0 Growth in all areas is available to each and every one of us \u2013 because science says so!<\/p>\n

Now to my other wonderful area of expertise, Wellness Coaching.\u00a0 Now that I\u2019ve captured your attention about anything being possible, it begets the question of \u201chow are you going to succeed in your newfound and exhilarating zest for life?\u201d\u00a0 Because without a road map to lead you towards these exciting (no longer painful) years of your aging, getting lost is as easy when you\u2019re old as when you\u2019re young!\u00a0 For me, I\u2019m taking the same high road that Theodore Roosevelt took.\u00a0 \u201cWe must all either wear out or rust out, every one of us.\u00a0 My choice is to wear out.\u201d<\/p>\n
