Scientific research shows that compassion is not only good for the world, but it's also good for our own well-being.

As we age, we all face some challenges. We may feel less valued, more anxious, and less joyful. We may even experience depression. But there is one thing that can help us overcome all of these issues: compassion.

Compassion is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another person. It is a powerful force for good worldwide and can especially benefit older adults. When we are compassionate towards others, we feel connected to them. We feel like we matter. We feel like we are making a difference.

And all of these things can contribute to our happiness and well-being.

This podcast episode will discuss compassion's power to overcome aging issues. We will discuss the science behind compassion and share tips on practicing compassion in your own life.

Whether you are older or care for older adults, this episode is for you.

Today, we are talking about a commonly misunderstood topic: cognitive aging. Many people believe our brains start to decline as we age, but that is not always the case. Some cognitive skills can improve with age.

In this episode, we will explore the aspects of attention that are shown to improve with age: orienting attention and ignoring distractions. We also discuss some things we can do to keep our minds sharp as we age. For example:

• The study found that older adults are better at orienting attention and ignoring distractions than younger adults.
• The fact that cognitive skills that require constant practice, such as understanding and using language, are usually well preserved with age.
• Some things we can do to keep our minds sharp as we age, such as staying physically active, challenging ourselves mentally, and socializing with others.

So, listen now and learn more about how to keep your mind sharp as you age.
