Let’s Live Longer and Better!

Do you want to know the secret to living longer? Having a positive mindset about aging can make a huge difference in the longevity of your life. The beauty market is pushing “anti-aging” products more than ever, so it’s up to us to feed our minds with more positive points about aging. 55+ Life Magazine is a great option with expert opinions and positive stories worth feeding your mind. Another way we can help extend our lives is through movement. Our busy schedules often keep people from going to a gym. We’ve included products for at-home pilates, which is one of my favorite ways to keep active.

Setting boundaries can often be challenging, but the time to regain your life back is now! In her book, Codependent No More, Melody Beattie teaches you how to get back onto the path of happiness.

Remember when you thought 30 was old? Our version of “old” was often grumpy and uninteresting people. It’s time to change our attitudes about aging. Lindsey McDivitt is doing just that.

What Happens At the Dinner table changes the future.

Conversations can change lives, and what better way to get talking than playing games and sharing a delicious meal? Intergenerational dinners allow everyone to relax and share perspectives that are unique to their generation. With the help of the Modern Elder Academy, we can all make a difference in our communities by hosting intergenerational dinners. Generations Over Dinner maps out the dinners and even provides popular topics to discuss, such as love and relationships, purpose, and the future. Janine Vanderburg, whom I interviewed last year, is changing the narrative on aging positively. Conversations about aging are beneficial to everyone and is a topic that can be discussed over the next intergenerational dinner that you host. Spending time with others whether it’s friends, or family is vital for our well-being and mental health.

In his book, From Age-ing to Sage-ing, Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, talks about how this extra time can be a spiritual experience if you embrace the changes that come with growing older. With decades of extra time given beyond our parenting years, we can look forward to, embrace, and love the extra experiences we can embark on. When we change our habits – we can change our lives.
