Stop it! Stop the negative self talk, the false beliefs that aging means weakening, that we are “too old” to start something new. Just STOP!!! 🛑
At 41, I was at my weakest, my most unhealthy state. I had so many people tell me that I should treat my body better and as a healthcare provider, I knew I should… but why? I was just getting older and basically I felt elderly 👵🏼
My health had been steadily declining for 16 years after I stopped being active. I truly believed that this was just the way life was meant to be. I saw so many older people having difficulty with their mobility and weight. So I assumed this was normal.
It. Is. NOT. Normal!!! It may be a normal part of our society, but it is NOT normal. Our bodies are meant to move, they are meant to be fueled with healthy food and positivity.
I don’t care what age you are right now, you don’t have to feel the way that society tells you you should feel at your age. I get told all the time that I don’t look my age… is it genetics? Maybe partly. But at about 35–40, I certainly looked my age!
If you read all the way to here, I believe there’s a part of you, that feels the same way as I used to. Let’s fight the norm, and let’s age gracefully together.
