Defy the Aging Process With a Positive Mental Attitude
Perhaps the most important thing you can do for yourself to increase longevity and live a happier, healthier life is to learn how to develop and keep a positive mental attitude.
The process of developing an attitude that will help you later in life should be nurtured during the younger years. How you learn skills when you’re young to help cope with adversities and strategies through life will become all important when you reach a time that requires those skills.
We now know how important it is to our mental health to figure out a mission for our lives. Then, as you go through the stages and hurdles of life, you can reassess that mission and reconfigure it for where you currently are on life’s path.
Living a full, rich life should be a goal that you not only strive for, but work toward by doing everything possible to make sure you’re healthy, both in body and mind to withstand the ravages of time.
The Most Important Tools to Keep a Positive Attitude
Scientific research indicates that “retirement” as our ancestors viewed it really isn’t a good thing for us to keep a positive mental attitude about life. Below are some helpful tools for you to live by if living a full, rich life is of concern to you.
· Keep Busy – A rocking chair isn’t the way to achieve “Fountain of Youth” effects during the aging process. We now know that keeping active, both in body and mind is the best way to live a long and productive life.
· Write Your Own Road Map – Baby boomers entering their 60s never expected to age, so they’re now looking for ways to keep their youth – but most are trying to retain their youth with cosmetic surgery, pills or surrounding themselves with youthful “things” such as a bright red sports car.
Writing your own road map for the rest of your life is empowering and can also help to build your mental aptitude just as you would build your muscles through exercise.
· Cultivate Healthy Relationships – The relationships you cultivate with family and friends can make the difference in how you view the rest of your life. Taking trips and learning new things are all better done with someone you care about than alone.
Take the necessary steps to develop a positive mental attitude that will help you through the aging process gently and optimistically.
You can discover further strategies and ideas you can use to help keep your mind in a youthful mindset and stop the "getting old" process. in the following: A Guide to Finally Understanding How to Stay Young. Most of these things you can do in your own home!

Welcome to Healthy Aging Support and Positive Encouragement
I believe in aging in your own home and doing everything you can to help yourself stay there so long as you are able to manage and want to remain independent.
I supported my own Mother for as long as she was able to manage and felt very sad for her when she had to move into residential care when we were unable to cope and keep her safe and well. It was a very sad time.
Unfortunately the main reason she wasn't able to cope was because of her weight. She stopped cooking and ate mostly carbohydrates and dairy and was not able to get out of bed without assistance.
If only she was prepared to eat the meals, which were able to be delivered to her through our health system instead of refusing to-I think that would have been her lifesaver.
I have worked for a service called Age Concern and would visit the elderly in their own homes. I was often concerned about their refusal to have meals delivered.
My mother was certainly not the only one so I was able to accept her choices.
I know other aging people who are also getting larger as they get older. My father is but he still drives a Taxi at 84. He was never a Taxi driver-he was a self employed cut flower grower and orchard and fruit and vegetable shop owner. He is refusing to retire because he enjoys meeting people and staying active. He drives a long old Mercedes Benz and is well known in Palmerston North, New Zealand.
Keeping physically and socially active are key to aging well. According to Age Concern and Positive Aging social isolation is one of the main causes of decline in health as we age.
My father wants to be like his father who had a heart attack sitting on a bar stool having a whisky just before he was about to board a plane to Dallas to judge an international chrysanthemum show at the age of 86. He was known as the King of Chrysanthemums-Joseph Hollows. He was an example of aging well in many ways. Into his eighties he still took big strides when he walked. When I commented on it he explained that he made himself take bigger steps because it kept his mobility better.
I lived with my grandad for a while and another way that he impressed me was by never saying anything bad about always managed to look at things calmly, logically and philosophically. He was a great believer in trying to follow the way of Christ.
