We can choose how we grow old. Will you sit and wait for death or will you face life full on in your later years?

During the last years of her life when my Mother was suffering from Alzheimer's she rarely knew who I was. She would mistake me for a nurse whom she would thank for my gift and on occasion she was convinced that she had never met me before.

On my last visit to her some years before her death, she had a few lucid moments and in one of these she briefly talked about my son, thinking he was a little boy still and saying that he could come and stay with her at any time.

How sad it was to see this once strong woman reduced to a shell.

Because I live on the other side of the world to her - she in London and me in Wellington NZ - I only managed to visit every two years. On each visit there was a noticeable decline and her hold on reality was slipping further away.

Following her death I was 'haunted' with her question to me "Who are you?" that she asked in my final visit. I determined then to find out all I could about keeping the mind active as well as exercise to keep the body trim and fit.

I knew that our thoughts determine the results we achieve and in the next weeks and months I will share with you my journey. The journey is still continuing and will do so until I die at which time I will not have to ask my daughter "Who are you?"

I knew I could exercise and eat the right foods to keep my body in good condition and there are plenty of avenues available to discovering what are the right foods and exercise.

But more than that, I wanted to find out more about how the mind worked, what the process was in the deterioration of brain cells and how I could reverse or at least, stop this process. I began reading and researching on these subjects and although I can make no claim to understanding these processes I found that science has now definitely determined that brain cells can regenerate. For a very long time it was thought that neurons did not regenerate, however, recent studies have shown that they do. Different types of neurons regenerate in varying capacities, but those in the hippocampus were among the first to be discovered regenerating in the human brain. (Various primates have been shown to regenerate and add neurons throughout the brain).

So using the maxim use it or lose it I decided that the brain/mind should be exercised daily in as many ways as possible so that it would not degenerate to the degree that my mother's had.

In my life coaching training and in my own life I found that the most important thing in life is how we see ourselves and what we tell ourselves. Most of us have heard of the Law of Attraction: the phenomenon that swept the world a few years ago. The basis of this Law is that we attract to ourselves that which we think about most. So I started to listen to my thinking- my self talk.

We all have this critic in our brain telling us that we can't do something because we are too old, too slow, don't have the right qualifications etc etc.

What was I telling myself? "I'm too old"; "If it was going to happen it would have by now"; "I can't do that" and so on. So I immediately set about reprogramming my mind. You can control your thoughts and in some instances these are the only things we do have control over.

Try this for a day. Start first thing in the morning. What are your waking thoughts? Write them down. Then at regular intervals through the day (every 2 or 3 hours say) note down what you have been primarily thinking about. Are these thoughts helping you achieve your goals of staying fit and healthy?

Were your thoughts mostly positive or did the self doubting, negative thoughts take over?

Remember that your subconscious mind is relaying what you think into your life. So if you think I am too old your body reacts as if this is true.
