o you view aging as a battle or a privilege? This is my birthday month, so for myself as much as
you, I wanted to put together 23 awesome tips on how to age gracefully. Why 23? Well, this article would be way to long if I did one for each year, so I chose to use the day of my birth instead.
1. Do things you really enjoy every day. When you submerse yourself in things you enjoy, you are eager to do them again. And
then you do them again, and again and again, and the enjoyment builds.
2. Work at friendships. Friendships provide energy and love to your daily life. You’re never too old for new friendships.
3. Congratulate yourself. Everyone has achievements: celebrate them and use them as encouragement for new ones. Don’t allow yourself to be diminished by anyone else. You are you. No one else can
make your unique contribution to the world.
“Aging gracefully means being flexible, being open, allowing change, enjoying change and loving yourself.” ~ Wendy Whelan
4. Embrace change. Life is change. Resist- ing it wastes precious time and energy. Living for it can create adventures you never considered imaginable. If you are facing a transition consider getting a Life Coach to make the process smooth and enjoyable.
