Research states that having a positive attitude about aging can actually be good for your health!

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!

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.

Although the contest is over, I still might turn your response into an inspiring age positive quote poster!
