1. Treat yourself well
Compliment yourself. You may like the way your hair falls today or the outfit you picked out. Acknowledge that.
It may feel arrogant to do this, but who says you can't say nice things about yourself? Wouldn't you tell a friend this? Be a friend to you!
When you give love to the person staring back at you in the mirror, you generate a warmth that spills out to all around you and attracts the same positivity back to you.

When you give love to the person staring back at you in the mirror, you generate a warmth that spills out to all around you and attracts the same positivity back to you.
And while you are by that mirror, hang some affirmations next to it. Then, repeat them regularly as a self-mantra.
Allow yourself a few minutes for self-care. Start with a skincare routine with products safe and formulated for you, like the Vibriance Bundle.
It's not vain to take time to look your best. When we look good, we feel good. So, take a few moments for you. You deserve it!

2. Keep your mind active
We continue to learn our entire lives. Find a hobby that interests you and pursue it!
Perhaps you want to start reading novels – go find yourself a book and snuggle up to read. Maybe it is having a group of friends over to play cards once a week… host a euchre night or find a Bunco group.
Could it be cooking, meeting new people, or learning about various cultures?
Take some time to think about what interests YOU and pursue that.
Whatever your interest, keep your mind active by pursuing new thoughts and ideas. You will find value and excitement in each new pursuit.

3. Keep it positive
It is tough to stay happy and age positively when surrounded by negativity. Push aside those Debbie Downer thoughts, and welcome in Suzy Sunshine!
It may be challenging to swap this mentality, especially if you have been surrounded by a critical inner voice for years.
Step one: practice positivity. When a critical voice starts to enter, dismiss it and replace it with a positive and encouraging thought.
It will feel disingenuous to start. The more you do it, the easier it becomes.
Then, welcome people and things into your life that align with your commitment to positivity. Finally, find a purpose to fulfill, such as a role within your family or community.

4. Make healthy choices
There is increasing research about gut health and mental health. What we put in our bodies will directly impact how we feel mentally.
And this isn't just feeling happy. Brain fog, sluggishness, and anxiety can all be traced to gut health.
Further, as we age, our metabolism slows. The pounds of donuts and pizza we consumed as teenagers would not hit us the same today.

Swap out the overly processed, sugary food for more veggies, fruits, and whole grains. It can be an adjustment if you are new to eating this way.
Start slow and eliminate a thing at a time until you have the hang of it. You will be surprised that your body craves healthier food after you clean up your diet.

5. Work it, girl
Exercise is a significant component of positive aging. When we work out, we support our physical bodies by strengthening our bones and muscles. But there's more.
Exercise releases "feel good" chemicals throughout our system. This boost to our mental health gives us the resolve to commit to other positive changes throughout our lives.
Furthermore, working out boosts our immune systems.
This is good news unless you are in love with sniffles and coughs!
Finally, join a gym or a walking group to stay social! Pickleball is the current rage of the country, and courts are popping up all over. Many local groups welcome new players, making the sport a solution to finding a social group that keeps you accountable to show up!

6. Ditch the Stress
To embrace Positive Aging, we need to create a stress-free environment.
It is a pipe dream to imagine a life where stress does not exist at all, but you can limit the amount of its impact.
One such way is instead of resisting the limitations of aging, understand and accept them. For example, perhaps you used to be able to run marathons, but a bum knee is keeping you from going the distance. Instead of stressing about that, take up biking or swimming.

And since when must you say yes to everyone's wishes? Learning to say no sets a healthy boundary between your time and another's. Say yes when it serves you but pass on opportunities that cause unnecessary stress.
Finally, focus on a stress-free environment. Does clutter completely wig you out? Start pitching junk mail before bringing it into the house and resist the urge to shop for unnecessary items at Target. Pinpoint what's causing you to stress daily and eliminate them one by one.

Six steps can be overwhelming to start. Pick one. When you feel like you have that one down, add another.
Positivity builds on itself, so don't be too surprised if you naturally want to start the other options after you start.
