So there are many things that how our mind and how we perceive ourselves and how we perceive what's possible can actually shape our health outcomes.

Absolutely, absolutely.

And it's exactly that.

It's if you feel that you are able to overcome these challenges, this is a huge role in feeling healthy.

And precisely when we did a study on millions of people, we actually asked them why they rate their health as positive.

And the top five reasons that they gave us was having a good mood or feeling good.

having a strong family life and support from loved ones, being physically fit, enjoying a rich spiritual life with meaning and purpose, and the absence of symptoms or diseases.

So those were the top five reasons.

And it's really interesting how most of them don't have to do with...

with illnesses, right?

It's about your outlook on life.

It's about what you have around you that can help you be healthy, right?

And when we ask people what they need to maintain their health as such, it's also beautiful to see that a lot of it is actually within our control, right?

And a lot of it is actually within our control

within our surroundings, right?

Most people say that they just need support to increase their levels of physical activity, right?

Or change their dietary habits, deal with family issues, improve their financial situations and handle some difficulties at work.

So it was really beautiful to see how our conversation of health, when we focus on it as an ability to adapt to challenges, we start to go wider than expected beyond the medical system and start to see our work, money, families, our mood, our sense of purpose to start playing a role in our health rather than fixating on diseases.

Yeah.

That's exactly it.
