Our attitudes toward aging dramatically influence the length and quality of our lives. In the United States, people with positive attitudes toward aging live 7 and a half years longer, and those with positive beliefs about memory retention have 30% less memory loss. In China, people with positive attitudes toward aging have the same sharp memories, hearing, and physical functioning as their grandchildren. Aging does not have to be about loss of our physical capabilities. It can be a time of personal growth, creativity, and spiritual development. We can heal our painful emotions, negative memories, thoughts, and beliefs, forgive ourselves and others, accept and love ourselves, and be grateful for the wisdom we have gained from a life well lived. We can do the inner work with our soul and become authentically who we are.
