Define Your Recovery, Design Your Life
Published in Joi Andreoli, The Recovery Cycle, 2023
As said in the last chapter, a Recovery Focus, the first cornerstone of the Recovery Cycle, is not the obsessive, distracting-from-your-life Preoccupation of the Addiction Cycle. A Recovery Focus is the positive attention and concentration you direct toward abstinence and your life in recovery. Another way of saying this is: The recovering person’s mindset is focused on recovery and how to attain and maintain it.
Intelligent Aging Is Healthcare's Moonshot
Published in Tom Lawry, Hacking Healthcare, 2022
Let's define the happiness factor as the ability to leverage and deploy new tech-supported health models that help move everyone, especially older citizens, higher on the scale of well-being. It changes our expectations from the absence of medical and mental conditions that impede our health, to an approach and mindset that helps people thrive in well-being and achieve their best potential at all stages of life including while living with those medical and mental health conditions. It helps close the gap between healthspan and lifespan by raising expectations in what we get out of the health system to achieve higher levels of individual and collective well-being.

A growth mindset, as defined by Carol Dweck, is the view that an individual’s skills and traits are fluid and develop with time and practice.78 In contrast, a fixed mindset assumes that one’s skills and traits are static and innate.78 Those with a fixed mindset demonstrate reduced confidence when confronted with a stressor, and are more likely to view failure as representation of a lack of ability. However, those who practice a growth mindset are motivated by challenge and view failures as opportunities to expand one’s abilities.78 As a result, those with a growth mindset are more effectively and confidently able to manage difficult life events by reappraising stressors in a more positive light.

AnAker described that nurses did not see sustainability as a task at work [19], because saving lives, hygiene and safety measures to prevent infections and antibiotic resistance are top priorities. Climate change and sustainability were less important [19]. This mindset was also observed in this present study. Many participants said that hygiene standards must be met when talking about sustainable measures while others argued that they went too far and unnecessary precautions had been taken, e.g. individual packing. This might indicate that some participants felt constricted by hygiene standards set by the health department. It could also indicate that hygiene of sustainable alternatives is questioned and that hygiene and safety for one patient, staff or practice stands above the global population’s health. This suggests that more education is needed about the big picture of climate change and the consequences of daily actions, both personally and in the health sector.
Resilience and mental health: How we can help medical students flourish
Published in Medical Teacher, 2023
Resilience should also be framed as existing along a continuum rather than being a binary of those who have it and those who do not, relegating the latter to a place of deficiency or personal weakness. These mindsets were fostered and nurtured during the long, arduous academic journey preceding medical school and in no way should resilience training be viewed as placing any blame on students. Students can also be encouraged to embrace a growth mindset related to resilience; everyone can grow and move up the resilience continuum. Teachers should also acknowledge that adversity is part of life, and that challenges represent growth opportunities where students may be able to not only bounce back, but rather, bounce forward (Bishop 2022) growing in ways that might not be possible if life was all smooth sailing.
Tinospora Cordifolia: A review of its immunomodulatory properties
Published in Journal of Dietary Supplements, 2022

As the incidence of and susceptibility to acute and chronic diseases continuously increases, many health-conscious individuals have shifted their mindset from “treatment-centric”, viz., a primary reliance on pharmaceutical interventions, to one that incorporates measures and routines that promote disease prevention and resilience. For example, recent emergent health threats have heightened human awareness of the importance of and need for natural-based modalities that improve health and wellness. In this context, potential candidate botanical preparations are those that both promote a vigorous, well-regulated immune response and mitigate co-morbidities (e.g. diabetes) that weaken the immune system and pre-dispose to either bacterial or viral infection. The ethnomedicine literature including traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine is rife with preclinical and clinical substantiation data that support the immunomodulatory-related structure function claims of herbal preparations derived from numerous well-known medicinal plants such as Echinacea, Curcuma, Camellia, etc. The increased emphasis on human disease prevention and resilience has provided the impetus to explore and highlight additional, lesser-known medicinal plants with purported anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activity.
