one’s capabilities or satisfaction with life. Adapted from Baltes & Baltes 1990 and Walsh 1993

physical, functional, cognitive, emotional, social,

and spiritual – to one’s satisfaction and in spite

of one’s medical conditions. Kenneth Brummel-Smith, MD. 2007


High Level Wellness

An integrated method of

functioning which is oriented

toward maximizing the

potential of which the

Final Message



Self-Talk: Wellness or Illness?

Ageism

Ageism

Words

become

Thoughts,

Thoughts

become

Actions,

Actions

become

Identity.

A process of systematic

stereotyping and discrimination

against people because of their

age (young or old), just as racism

and sexism accomplish this for skin

color and gender. Robert Butler, MD 1968
