As we age, we tend to know ourselves better, what gives us pain, what gives us pleasure. But when we know ourselves more, it can also make us narrow-minded, preventing us from trying new things. It can also limit our desire to learn and grow. 

How can we balance our increased self-awareness with a decreased desire to learn and grow?

We need to continually challenge ourselves well beyond "old age". By adopting a health mindset, we can remove the cap on self-awareness and take control of our destiny and where life leads us.

We need to be mindful when we experience the nocebo effect, which is the belief that we have little to no control over what happens to our minds, bodies and spirit. It's been shown where patients who had an illness mindset where they didn't believe treatments would work, the treatments were more likely not to work.

It goes with how we live our lives.
