In conversations both amongst our team here at
The Sunday Paper and with friends, we're often hearing the words: "But I don't feel [insert age here]."Well, according to research that spans 50 years, the mindset of not feeling or acting one's age is a key to growing older with a more positive, vibrant mindset. As noted in
The Guardian, "People who see the ageing process as a potential for personal growth tend to enjoy much better health into their 70s,80s and 90s than people who associate ageing with helplessness and decline, differences that are reflected in their cells' biological ageing and their overall life span."This information on how our thoughts and actions can accelerate or decelerate the aging process is a fascination of ours…and the reason why we believe that growing older is a gift that should be honored with respect and embraced with power and purpose.To learn more about this research, visit
