Genetics vs Lifestyle?

Out of the six pillars of Third Age Mojo that I chose to focus on this year, health is the most important, as success in the other pillars depends on good health. But is your health affected by your lifestyle or your genetics? While there is no easy answer here, health and wellness advocate Sarah Cuoco helps us understand how to embrace technology, learn about our bodies through DNA testing, and prioritize healthy choices to live our best lives. Research has consistently shown that older adults who embrace smart gadgets can experience a significant boost in their physical and psychological well-being. Did you know that there are powerful foods that can be used as medicine for our bodies? In his book, ‘How Not To Die,’ Dr. Michael Greger offers a wealth of science-backed guidance specifically aimed at helping older adults live longer, healthier lives.

Get Confident About Social Security

The time has come to talk about Social Security. I’ve been researching it myself, so this week, we’re bringing you details to help you navigate the process. Applying for your benefits doesn’t have to be scary! We’re also bringing you peace of mind about playing in the sun with fun accessories to keep you safe.

Would You Like to be Healthier, Happier, and More Confident?

Are you ready to take control of your beautifully aging face? The pandemic (how was this four years ago?) caused me to look to the internet for exercise. I had regularly been doing yoga and pilates at home, but once I discovered Face Yoga and its benefits, I was hooked. Fumiko Takatsu and her program, The Face Yoga Method, inspired me to become a certified instructor. I am thrilled to announce my “Healthier, Happier, and More Confident in Just 7 Days” course. I’ve taken all of the knowledge that I’ve learned and included the most helpful and essential info into a 7-day course. With 21 different poses, you can reuse this course repeatedly.

Your Facial Muscles: Use Them or Lose Them!

Have you ever heard the saying use it or lose it? 

It’s true for many things, including your muscles. If you don’t regularly exercise your muscles, they can become saggy and worn out. This goes for the muscles in your face, too! Face Yoga not only keeps your muscles toned, but it also engages you in your aging process! Face Yoga changed my face during the pandemic when I started to stay disciplined and incorporated maintenance into my daily schedule. Here at ThirdAgeMojo, we are all about being healthy, happy, confident, and pro-aging! Check out this gear to help you look your best even when sleeping. You won’t want to miss these. 

Sneak Peak: This week, I am announcing a new course that I created called Healthier, Happier, and More Confident In Just 7 Days. More details to come!

Relationships just keep getting better with age!

Did you know they are core needs that drive successful relationships at any age? Renowned relationship expert Dr. Sue Johnson illuminates these needs in her book Hold Me Tight,—7 Lifetime Conversations for a Lifetime of Love. It’s proven that our relationships become more important as we age. Life has an end, and sometimes, it’s far sooner than we’d like to think. Although it’s hard to see, there is always room to learn and grow within our relationships. In her four-step guide, Dr. LeGrice sets guidelines to help you discover meaningful connections with your partner, whether it’s been one year or fifty years.  

Remotely Intergenerational

We are better together! 

That’s right, the secret is out. At Third Age Mojo, we practice what we preach. Together with my designer and storyteller, Marisa, we share how intergenerational work relationships and working remotely have added value to our lives. 

Do you need to work on the go? I have started dog sitting frequently, and with my setup that I call an “office in a tub,” I can bring my work anywhere I wish. These must-haves are a remote worker’s dream! 

Get Your Vitality Boosted!

How is your vitality? 

Vitality measures your overall health and fitness. If you want your third age to be your best age, it’s time to start supporting your physical and mental vitality. Increasing your hydration, adding meditation to your routine, and cooking healthy meals you love are some simple yet effective ways you can work towards regaining or maintaining your vitality. With consistency, you can improve your vitality and reduce your stress! 

YouNeed YouTube!

Do you use YouTube? 

I have friends who don’t even watch TV anymore; they watch YouTube to unwind. YouTube is the perfect combo of learning and entertainment. But what if you’ve got something you think others could benefit from? Do you sew? Do you cook? Are you a home repair guru? You can start your YouTube channel to share your talents with the world! The possibilities are truly endless.

Learning to use YouTube is easier than you think. Udemy is my favorite learning site, and it has taught me everything I know about YouTube (and so much more). The courses are inexpensive and taught by experts. It’s a new world out there; anything you want to learn or achieve is at your fingertips. 

Generations Unite! Intergenerational Relationships Rock!

Through intergenerational collaboration, we can share our strengths and work together to improve the world around us. I have been working in affiliate marketing for over five years. It’s a wonderful environment where everyone looks out for and helps others succeed. Age truly doesn’t matter as long as you bring value to the table. Laura Jimenez and I break down our industry and intergenerational relationships on her podcast Affiliate Secrets. Looking for other activities that can engage all generations?

What’s so important about your memory?

Do you worry about your memory? Well, worry no more! Dr. Charan Ranganath answers common questions about life and memory in his book, Why We Remember. Learn to let go of the past and live in the present!
