Making Midlife Magic

Ep #57: Getting older is literally the best


Listen Later

There are so many negative messages about getting older that it’s no surprise so many of us often feel bad about it. If you’re not convinced, go to the drugstore for a greeting card for someone over 50. You'll find lots of pictures of gravestones and sagging body parts. Is it any wonder we often feel so negative about aging?

So it's not surprising that we often live as if there's an alternative to getting older, as if we might be able to bypass this human experience and keep our wisdom but stay 30 forever.

The antidote to all this comes with one simple truth: Getting older is literally the best. Accepting this core reality makes so much possible.

In this episode:

🎯 Why seeing getting old as a "necessary evil" feels terrible

🎯 How accepting the reality of aging helps us to move forward

🎯 How a trip to the emotions buffet lets us see all the feelings we could have about getting older

🎯 Why wrinkles and gray hair are the best (but you can still dye your hair if you prefer it that way)
