Life expectancy in the USA (Photo: Janet Loerke, USA TODAY)
Age Defying Beautiful - Mind, Body, Spirit and Purpose
According to a Larry Copeland of USA
Today, a new government report, Americans are living longer as death rates
fall. With rates dropping for all other leading causes of death. Although suicide
rates have reached its highest pinnacle in 25 years, although it’s not clear
why. My strong guess is, it’s the Crash
of 2008, people losing their houses, income, and retirement.
Bringing our life expectancy to
gender, women take heart, for the news fares a little better for us, a little
worse for men. Life expectancy for females is 81.2 years; for males, it's 76.4
years. The difference from 2011 of 4.8 years is the same.
What does that mean for us new
seniors, in a world that judges more for beauty than for brains? Well it means
that we are treated differently, and as women we can’t compete with the 20 year
olds nor should we. We have our own worth for what we have experienced in life,
gained in wisdom and knowledge and our accomplishments as people, professionals,
wives and mothers. We truly run the gamut of life roles, but if we live in a society
that doesn’t appreciate our years, then we need to appreciate ourselves.
There is nothing at all wrong,
with wanting to say “I defy my age and I want to live longer, stronger and be
more beautiful than I was at the age of 20.” So how do we do that, well if we live
in a “beauty is only skin deep society” we can either sit back with our
wrinkles and say it’s OK, or we can defy the stereo type of being older by
being bolder and better.
MIND: By being confident, and using
your mind, take up the classes, hobbies or go back to school and start a career
that you never had before. Now that you’ve earned your independence, use it for
you! Basically, it’s staking a claim, to take the reins on our lives as I call
us “young seniors.” They say you lose what you don’t use, well, it’s no
different for our brain power, and we are at odds with technology that figures
everything out to a point where we can’t remember simple math equations.
BODY: Exercise, I waited until I
was a young senior before I started investing in my physical wellbeing, with
swimming, light weights and walking. Maybe even belly or hula dancing, would be
fun as well. My point is take up a physical activity, you’ve got to be active
or let your body decline further. Plus it helps reverse our body parts that are
determined to head south for the winter.
SPIRIT: First and foremost be at
peace in your heart, discard all the old baggage or hurt and disappointment, know
that we tried our best to do the right thing, and you did better than most by
doing so. Practice your faith, spirituality, pray or meditate, having a belief
system in a higher power of good, helps me to make it through each day.
PURPOSE: Finally find a cause or
a purpose when I think of the oldest seniors in the world, they were in Tibet
from 103 to 112 years old if I recall correctly. But the most profound message
that documentary gave me was these seniors had a purpose every day they went
out and back packed their needs, water, firewood, etc. We in America however,
have taken the purpose out of being a senior and institutionalized us instead.
So if you want to avoid that purposeless plateau where we are to be sent then
start working on your mind, body, spirit and purpose.
