1. Positive Aging:
4 Ways to Stay
Optimistic

2. With more than 70,000 Centenarians in the US
alone, it’s obvious many of our elders are making
the most of their lives, no matter their age. But
how? And even if you’re just over 80, or under
80, wherever you’re at in life, there are ways to
stay positive and see the glass half-full.

3. There is this movement that many of you may not
know about called ‘Positive Psychology,’ which
hones in on the idea that how we think about our
day-to-day living shapes what it means to be
happy. Asking questions like: What makes life
worthwhile in our later years despite physical or
mental challenges? With specific actions and
habits that we can learn, the process of aging can
become more positive:

4. • With your resources, it is helpful to be selective,
optimize and compensate. This means as you are
adapting to the aging process, limiting your
options or life choices in order to optimize your
functioning level as your faculties decline. So
basically, practice the behaviors you want to
remain intact (exercise, playing an instrument,
leading a group, etc.) and figure out what type of
support or modified techniques you need to carry
out to continue doing the activity.

5. • Understand what your life goals are at this point
and make your decisions based on those ideals.
To lead this sort of fulfilling and satisfying life as
you age, it’s important to understand your place
in the world and then choosing to make your
contribution no matter how small.

6. • It’s also important to know how to help others
and receive help in return and knowing how to
approach your stage of life with an ongoing
desire to learn new things and have new
experiences.
• Cultivating flexibility involves lifelong strategies
of thinking and feeling in ways that
counteractive most patterns. Practice gratitude,
forgiveness and honesty.

7. • It’s a mindset. It is disciplining yourself to reframe
perceptions and cultivating those positive
emotions as you cope with whatever dilemmas
come with old age. Neuroscience studies suggest
that happiness is activated in older persons as they
practice positive and aging skills.
We want to encourage you to discover how you can
be happy as the years pass, because it IS possible!
