our special guest Micah NickensOur discussion will be about Peter Pan syndrome and Welcome to the Uncles Movement.Micah is a former professional surfer who was inspired to create a movement for all generations.So what is this Uncle Movement about and what does it have to do with healthcare or health?We all know the data is out that there is no health if there is no mental health and wellbeing.  Exercise, purpose, community, etc are all about sustaining powerful long term behavioral changes…and there is nothing more powerful than holding others accountable and being in it together, regardless of your age or ability.The Uncles Movement is about keeping that momentum alive. Whether thats in sports, health/wellness, and family. We flip the script and look at age as only a number. The UM is a mindset to continue growth toward the best version of yourself. So although there can be a perception that you are supposed to slow down, we realize that we’ve only gotten wiser, smarter, and stronger. Through this mindset we are able to harness a more strategic,  richer , and fuller life with even greater attributes. The amazing thing is that everyone can do this, we just have to acknowledge our strengths through self awareness and truly believe in ourselves.If you are looking to be inspired than look no further than hearing from Micah Nickens the founder of Uncles Movement.  The reason he started this movement was to encourage his group of friends (including himself) to never throw in the towel no matter what our age. We’ve all been through the ringer with injuries, illnesses, responsibilities, and day to day challenges. It becomes much easier to start listening to the excuses that float around in our head the older we get. The Uncles Movement is a mindset meant to combat those excuses and shut them the F up.The reality is… We are in an exciting time in our lives. Technology is so far advanced, if we treat our bodies with respect, we’ll get to play hard well into the later part of our lives. This isn’t just about physical well-being, but even more so mental awareness. The UM mindset encourages us to address our challenges, face them, and correct them. Live life to fullest, love hard, forgive yourself and others, and laugh as much as humanly possible. This way of life is not easy to live by, but we’ll try our hardest to do so. It’s the Uncles Movement way ♥️💯 It’s a mindset, you in?? #ageisonlyanumber #itsamindsetAlso Micah just might nudge you or inspire you to the The Betterment Challenge, a 30 day action plan that is designed to re-align our daily decisions and habits. To provide helpful tools to support our mental and physical well being. #growth #wellness #healthcare #data #technology #mentalhealth #community #sports #mindset #love #health #wellbeing #respect #healthcare Guest: Micah Nickens Host & Producer: Michael Mann michael@planetaryhealthfirstmarsnext.org
