Advanced Aging Principles – Observations of a 94 Year Old!

I sure hope I inherited some of her genes and aspire to age as wonderfully as she has. Over the 4 days that we were staying with her I made some casual observations of what she was doing and came to the conclusion that her daily habits would benefit the majority of us that desire reach an advanced age in above average health. She:

Does some thing active everyday (takes the stairs to and from her basement 4 x a day)
Eats only when she is hungry
Stops when she is full
Gets fresh air everyday
Enjoys her own company (she is not afraid to be alone and can amuse herself just fine, thank you very much)
Treats herself well
Doesn’t let other do for her what she can do for herself
Listens to her body (stops when she is tired)
Talks to herself to shake off her negative attitude when it pops up

All in all I think the things she does intuitively are the things that if we did purposefully, deliberately and intentionally would aid in the quality of our health and life in general.

How about we each pick one of Auntie Rose’s habit and make it our own?
