Ah, my fellow adventurers in this world of positive aging! As a proud member of the 62-year-old club and a firm believer in embracing our authentic selves, I'm here to share some advice on how to age like a pair or classic Levis. So grab a cup of coffee or tea, put on your comfiest pair of yoga pants, and let's dive into the world of positive aging with a healthy dose of humor and wisdom!

1. Embrace Your Inner Weirdo: Let's face it, we've all got quirks and idiosyncrasies that make us wonderfully unique. Whether you have a penchant for collecting obscure vinyl records or a talent for reenacting scenes from classic movies, own it with pride! Embracing your authentic self is the key to unlocking a world of joy and self-acceptance – plus, it makes for some pretty entertaining dinner party conversations.

2. Move Your Body, Shake Your Booty: Exercise is the ultimate fountain of youth! Whether you're doing squats in one of my online Fitness classes or taking leisurely strolls through the park with your fur baby, staying active is essential for maintaining both physical and mental wellbeing. Plus, who doesn't love the rush of endorphins that comes from a good workout?

3. Eat Your Greens (and a Few chips or chocolates): Ah, the eternal struggle between veggies and your favorite “cheat” foods. Balance is the key to a healthy diet – emphasis on the word "balance." So go ahead, indulge in both! Life is too short to deprive yourself of the the foods you enjoy – just watch the portions.

4. Socialize Like Your Social Security Depends on It: staying connected with friends and loved ones is essential for maintaining a sense of community and belonging. Whether you're hosting a game night with friends or hitting the town for a night of karaoke and cocktails or mocktails, socializing is good for the soul – and can be a lot more fun than sitting at home watching reruns of “The Office” (although it always makes me laugh).

5. Travel Far, Travel Wide, Travel Often: Ah, the call of the open road and the thrill of adventure! As a seasoned traveler, I can attest to the transformative power of exploration and discovery. Whether you're flying to far-flung destinations or embarking on a road trip to your favorite local getaway, travel feeds the soul and expands the mind. Just be sure to pack plenty of water, snacks and a healthy dose of curiosity – you never know what wonders await just around the corner.

6. Fur Babies Make the Best Companions: Ah, pets – the ultimate companions in the journey of life. Whether you're a proud cat lady, a devoted dog dad, or a doting hamster wrangler, having a furry friend by your side brings joy, laughter, and unconditional love into your home. Plus, they make excellent cuddle buddies during those Netflix marathons on rainy days.

In the world of positive aging, remember this: life is too short to take yourself too seriously. Embrace your quirks, savor the moments, and live each day with a healthy dose of laughter and love. Cheers to aging gracefully, my friends – may we all grow old like a pair of classic Levi’s, with plenty of character and a hint of mischief. Reach out to me at lisakiely.com
