Episode 97 - You Are Ageing Wrong The Story Shaping Your Retiremen.
What if the way you think about aging is actually shaping how you age?
In this episode, Chris Daems explores the groundbreaking "Counterclockwise Study" by Ellen Langer, revealing how mindset, environment, and the stories we tell ourselves can directly influence our physical and mental wellbeing.
Chris dives into how a group of men in their 70s and 80s experienced measurable improvements in memory, strength, posture, and even appearance, simply by immersing themselves in an environment that encouraged them to act younger.
This video challenges common beliefs about retirement, aging, and what is possible in later life. Drawing from over 20 years of experience as a financial planner, Chris shares why those who thrive in retirement are not just financially prepared, they bring curiosity, openness, and a powerful mindset into their next chapter.
💡 Key topics covered:
* The power of mindset and identity in aging
* How your internal "story" shapes your future
* Why it is never too late to change
* Practical ways to redefine your next chapter
If you are in your 50s, 60s, or beyond, or planning ahead, this is a must-watch.
