Are you where you want to be at your age? If not, what are some strategies to improve? Dr. Shawn Weiss joins Suzanne to provide four key ways we can improve how we feel emotionally. 1) Move your body; 2) Have gratitude; 3) Journal positivity; and 4) Try new things. Dr. Shawn says, "Start our day with reflection. The best way to do that is get outside and get moving. Move your body in whatever way you can. "Getting outside and combining that movement with meditation is just so uplifting, because you can go through your gratitudes. Sometimes I take a walk and I'll say it out loud like, 'oh, thank you so much for this beautiful day.' It's setting me up to feel good in my heart... What am I grateful for? Who are the people I love in my life and what do I want for them? And what do I want for myself? "Find positivity in every single day. Write it down. You can [also] speak these things out to yourself. "I'm a big believer in trying new things. Some people think, 'It's just too late for me to try something new. I'm too old to try something new.' Baloney. It's just not true. You have to believe in yourself and have the confidence to try new things. This is the perfect time. I know so many people in their 50s, 60s, even 70s that have gone to take classes, that have gone back to school, that want to make a change, to do something that brings them joy... It's a growth mindset."
