Today, you get to choose, what are you going to focus on? It’s very easy and natural for us to want something different – if I could just go back to the past, or if it could just get to the future already. For years we just wanted to get older, and now, if we could only be young again… It’s ok to have those reactions. Honor wherever you are and however you feel, but let go of that and instead choose to focus on how you want to see the situation. In my special birthday episode, we have a conversation about aging. Because chronological age is such a poor predictor of age and the actual aging process, researchers have developed A LOT of alternative non-chronological age measures: Age Identity, Contextual Age, Subjective Age... All of this research allows us to develop 10 keys to being ageless - not young - just ageless. Today, I choose to focus on how I feel and on what I’m doing and accomplishing. I choose to focus on the context of my life.
