Seniors are typically stereotyped as shriveled and lifeless, but the reality is not totally that. More and more, seniors are enjoying their lives in an outgoing fashion until well until their 80’s and 90’s. This is largely because of advances in medicine, but also because of a cultural shift in how seniors are seeing themselves.

shift in how seniors are seeing

3. The Impact of Positivity
Studies have shown that those of us who hold
positive age stereotypes are likely to walk faster
into our old-age, recover faster from disabilities
more full, and live longer than our friends who hold
the opposing view. This seems to lend itself to the
power of positivity, as well as the power that
positivity can have on the way we act and live.

4. Cultivating a Positive Attitude
So, is it possible to ditch your negative
stereotypes around aging? Of course it is!
However, it often requires a full change in
how you live and look at your life. It’s
important that you remain active
throughout your life, as well as when you
can, express how you’re feeling.

5. The Impact of Staying Active
We feel good when we help other people, when we feel like
we are making a difference with our lives. Our culture,
though changing, sometimes treats older people as if they
were useless, unable to contribute in meaningful ways.
Doctors have discovered that when their patients were able
to fight against old stereotypes and to do meaningful work,
that they also stopped thinking of themselves, and of their
contemporaries, in negative terms.
