James felt lost now that he was retired and in his 70s. He thought he had no reason to wake up early and began sleeping in until 11 each day. As the months went on, it became more and more difficult to feel motivated to do anything. His friend Nick urged James to spend a few hours a week at a non-profit crisis hotline center for teens. James would be trained on what to say at a two-day workshop. Nick insisted James would feel better if he got out of the house and focused more on others. If you were James, would you follow this advice? In this episode of LIFE's Inside Track, we'll consider how focusing on improving our bodies and minds can turn our aging years into "saging" years.
