The Top Five Ways to Achieve Longevity
Positive thinking has numerous benefits,
including reducing depression,
boosting immunity,
and lowering the risk of heart failure.
But did you know that maintaining a positive attitude
can also help you live longer?
Here, we explore the connection between motivation and aging,
and what you can do to cultivate a healthy mindset.
Add Years to Your Life Span
Studies show that age and overall life experiences impact life span.
According to a recent World Health Organization (WHO) report, “People worldwide are living longer.
Most people can expect to live into their sixties and beyond.
By 2050, the world’s population aged 60 years and older is expected to total 2 billion, up from 900 million in 2015.”
Best Practices for Longevity
Accept the Aging Process:
Research indicates that those with a positive outlook on aging
when younger are more likely to live longer.
By changing your attitude towards aging early on,
you can foster an optimistic mindset that positively impacts your life expectancy.
Boost Your Resilience:
Optimistic thoughts about aging can increase a person’s will to live,
making them more resilient to disease and promoting overall wellness.
Maintaining a balanced and content attitude as you age can reduce stress
and lower the likelihood of developing chronic illnesses or disorders, according to WHO.
Share Your Wisdom:
Our culture values vitality and wisdom, often looking up to older adults as heroes.
When you are content with life, it shows, and others are drawn to that behavior.
Sharing your knowledge and experiences can keep you feeling younger and more connected.
Embrace Positive Thinking:
Like meditation, yoga, or other self-care practices, staying motivated takes time.
Fortunately, the resources you need are always available and can be used at your own pace.
