Have you ever wondered what differentiates those who stay healthy and engaged well into their 80s or even their 90s as opposed to those who don’t? If you want to have a healthier, happier and more fulfilling life, take a few hints from some people who have managed to do it.

As we were chatting about the session, she shared an interesting conversation that she had with one of her coaching clients. She was having some issues with her back and she flinched when she moved.
