The older I get the more I realize so many wonderfully helpful insights. In fact, I’m definitely a tribe member of an inspiring movement going on right now for “Positive Aging.”
Research states that having a positive attitude about aging can actually be good for your health!
In particular…a 2002 study by Yale University researchers reported that seniors with a positive attitude about aging wound up living 7.5 years longer than those who had a negative view on aging.
And I personally have positively found that life keeps getting better and better for me.
In fact, I write about how my life got better after I reached my 50’s in an article here – as well as here.
But I digress!
I am sharing this blog post today because I held a contest on my Instagram Page!
Basically, I invited people to share their positive aging reminders.
Plus I explained that I would pick the best responses. Then I offered to design the most inspiring quotes on aging into virtual posters to share in social media!
I’m determined to celebrate the awesome side of aging.
And I wanted to celebrate my new longevity book LIFE IS LONG – from Random House.
My bestselling book offers cutting edge longevity research to help you live longer – and younger!
Below are some of the many wonderful responses I received from my community on Instagram.
If you have a “fill in the blank” answer you want to suggest, share it down below in the comment section.
Although the contest is over, I still might turn your response into an inspiring age positive quote poster!
