216 How a Positive Mindset Helps You Thrive as You Age

Episode Summary:  Unlock the secrets to thriving as you age. Join me with my guest, Brigitte Cutshall, a beacon of hope and resilience, who defied the odds and found the secret to thriving in the face of cancer and a rare brain tumor. We’ll explore the keys to maintaining a positive outlook, finding purpose, and embracing every day as a precious gift. A focus on hope is powerful!   Quotables from the episode: Hope helped me focus on what was important in life – my health and my family. Hope provided motivation to find the best solutions to overcome two major health crises. Remember to be in the moment and appreciate what you have. Start journaling, basically write your thoughts down. Doesn’t have to be publicly shared. This will help you review your thoughts and patterns. In order to thrive while aging, we have to focus on the good and the positive rather than the negative in our lives. Your body craves proper nutrition and regular physical exercise to heal. Being around others, you learn more about yourself.   Scripture References: Mark 9:23 ‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.” Psalm 71:14 As for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more. Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.   Recommended Resources:  YouVersion 7-Day Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day YouVersion 7-Day Devotional, Today is Going to be Another Good Day Breaking Anxiety’s Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson Breaking Anxiety’s Grip Free Study Guide Free 7-Day YouVersion Bible Reading Plan for Breaking Anxiety’s Grip Hope Prevails: Insights from a Doctor’s Personal Journey Through Depression by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the Christian Literary Award Reader’s Choice Award Hope Prevails Bible Study by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the Christian Literary Award Reader’s Choice Award Trusting God Through Cancer 1 Trusting God Through Cancer 2 Revive & Thrive Women's Conference Subdue Stress and Anxiety: Fifteen Experts Offer Comprehensive Tools in Ten Minutes a Day.
