im going to live to be 120…. August 1, 2008
Posted by brandon in : ramblings , add a commentquick rant while at work:
its been scientifically proven for awhile now, that the brain is very powerful when it comes to our health. When doctors take two test groups, give one group medicine and the other group ‘fake’ medicine, then lie and tell both groups that they received the medicine… guess what happens? the majority of the people in the group that received the ‘fake’ medicine got better just as quickly as those on the medicine!
so much of it is in our heads. if you think you are getting sick, or you worry about getting sick all the time, you will get sick. if you THINK you are super healthy, you will stay a lot healthier.
NOW!
apply this to age. we all now the average lifespan is around 70 something years. we already assume in OUR HEADS that we will die around 70…. i saw a coworkers cards for her 50th birthday that said “over the hill”. we assume that we are going to die by 70, or 100, or whatever….. our minds prep our bodies to accept that….
well…
what if i run around my entire life thinking/KNOWING in my head that i will live to 120…. will it work?
who knows…
but its worth trying
