Putting A Positive Perspective On Aging

3 SIMPLE WAYS TO LIVING AN AGE-POSITIVE LIFE

Change is on the horizon as older Americans are reshaping society’s ideas about aging...

Gone are the days of paper-thin 20 something models dominating the catwalk and advertisements.

One of the fastest-growing fields of modeling actually happens to be for women in their 50’s, 60’s, and beyond. One of the greatest examples would be Daphne Self, a highly sought-after supermodel at the tender age of 91 years young.

At Vibriance, we’re happy to see the changing tides against ageism. Here are 3 tips to embrace aging when society may tell you otherwise.

1. Let go of outdated notions

They say age is nothing but a number… That may be a cliche’ saying, but we feel that to be true!

Research has confirmed that a positive mental attitude towards aging can improve overall health.

When you feel good on the inside, it helps make you look more vibrant on the outside.

Ellen Langer, a professor of psychology at Harvard university studies peoples attitudes toward aging and how it affects their mental and physical health said in a published article

“People are not aging the way that their parents and grandparents were aging,” Langer says. “The model for what it means to be older is changing. Eighty is the new 60.”

2. Be present

Simply being mindful of your surroundings can result in a multitude of benefits.

You don’t need to be a spiritual guru to reap the benefits, just spend more time being present and in the moment.

“All you need to do is notice new things; that puts you in the present and makes you sensitive to context and perspective,” Langer says.

“It increases your engagement. It’s literally and figuratively enlivening. (And) when you’re mindful, people find you charismatic and attractive, at any age.”

3. Participate in self-care

We may be a little biased here as Vibriance is a company that sells self-care products… But we feel this can be one of the most important ways to embrace aging.

Never stop taking care of yourself...

It can be enhancing your skincare routine, starting a new exercise regimen, learning how to cook a new dish, or picking up a new hobby.

There are countless ways you can take care of yourself. You don’t have to practice running for a marathon, even taking a 5-10 minute walk can make a significant impact on your health and well-being.

Sometimes the smallest changes can make for the biggest differences in the long term.
