Old5 Insights On Why Aging Should Not BeDisconcerting

Growing old is a natural phenomenon that occurs to everybody. It’s easy to say age is just a number. After all, how old we are does not affect the beauty of our life – only our outlook does.

Experience and maturityExperience and maturity

As we go farther in life, we know and learn more about what we like and what makes us feel special. Doing these things to make us feel more radiant and alive is the best way to unarm oneself from the anxieties of aging.

Age Exper-ience

The natural soul age

The notion of a person’s true soul age endorses the fact that it’s usually not how a person looks like that reveals how old they are. Ultimately, it’s how they act. In reality, we all have the ability to generate youthful energies. It’s all a matter of seeing what life still has to offer.

Contemplating goals

Rather than feeling upset because of getting old, it is the feeling of not having what we want at a trivial time of our lives that makes us feel incomplete. Benchmarking oneself against others and comparing what they have that we don’t is an easy cause for worry. Then again, goals are objective. Stepping away from the spectrum society has set and being honest about our desired ends lets us clear our minds from our “fears” of getting old.

Health and a positive attitude

When we feel stressed and melancholic, our body responds by being unenergetic and queasy. When we are happy, our body releases endorphins and hormones that help our immune system combat illnesses and keep us healthier and happier. What you feel about aging is reflective on how you look, so wear a smile and always keep a positive mindset.

Oprah says so!

“People get all screwed up and afraid of aging when, in fact, every year should be a celebration. You should be celebrating every year that you are given. I don’t under-stand women lying about their age and everybody dreading getting older. It means you’re still here! [...] To deny your age is to deny your life. I stand here 59 years old and so happy to claim every single part of the jour-ney of those 59 years. All of death reminds us that aging and moving forward is so important.”Interview by Extra for O Magazine
