Stop Saying These Common Quotes About Aging
from Senior Fitness With Meredith Hosted by Senior Fitness with Meredith
"You can't teach an old dog a new trick" - We use quotes like this very commonly to describe what it feels like to get old but sometimes these sayings can be taken out of context and generalized. For this episode, we decided to highlight a few common quotes like this and attempt to re-frame or redefine them in a way that softens the Sinicism and makes them more relevant to actual aging. In This Episode You Will Learn: 1). Where we came up with the idea to highlight these types of common quotes that frame aging in somewhat of a negative light. 2). How mental health affects many older individuals and why it's important to focus on your mental health and your physical health. 3). How having a "Senior Moment" can be taken negatively for some and how feeling like you are forgetful etc. applies to all ages, not just seniors. 4). Why it's important to embrace your current age and not just compare yourself to feeling like you should be younger. 5). A better way to compliment someone based on their actual appearance and age rather than comparing them to someone younger. /// We hope you enjoyed this episode and found refreshing new ways to express aging in a way that promotes a healthier and more positive outlook. Embracing your age is truly a gift no matter how old you are and celebrating the journey is what it is all about. Team Meredith
