We know aging will happen no matter what, and we know that aging well is not a guarantee left on its own. What does aging look like and how does it feel?In Elements of Aging Well, the author, Janet McConnell, answers many questions using her journey. In doing so, she feels emboldened to say things out loud that, until now, she hadn’t dared to say. She asks, “How am I preparing to meet the world with my armor unbuckled and my boundaries intact?” Her only authority is a life well-lived. No book, body of research, degree, or certification could have taught her the wisdom that her body holds in the outcome of daily living, giving her the experience of aging while becoming younger.In this book, Janet tells of her journey of physical and emotional transformation in midlife. She details the “Elements of Aging Well” that brought her such excellent results. Exercise and nutrition are necessary, but tools for resilience, setting boundaries, and forming good habits are also crucial.Elements of Aging Well is NOT an anti-aging book. The reader should embrace healthy longevity. McConnell advocates for living life fully as you age. Healthy aging is a gift you give yourself, and it’s the most surprising gift. Her wish is for you to enjoy a long and vibrant life and the courage to join her in questioning the status quo of what society says aging is. Buy her book on Amazon. Contact her at: [e-mail]
