How to stop thinking about the aging?

Hi,

One way to stop thinking about aging is to think about what's going well for you or imagining what you would like to go well for you or what has been a positive experience or a learning experience in the past. This is gratitude. Gratitude is one of the scientifically proven habits that build happiness. Another habit that builds happiness including acts of kindness---get outside your head and focus on helping others. Anything from just smiling at someone to volunteering in a cause that is meaningful to you. Other habits that build happiness include meditation, exercise, positive journaling and fostering relationships. Having healthy relationships with friends, family, or partners is the number one predictor you will be happy. Having relationships also helps you to be healthier. Exercise has astounding effects even just going for a walk. Strength training especially can help you ward off some possible problems associated with old age. 

You have to get older but you don't have to get "old." Much of the ailments and complications associated with old age are largely up to you. A lot of things happen because of lifestyle and you can get away with things for awhile but it catches up to you therefore it happens in old age but really it's just the body no longer being able to handle habits people have been doing for 20-30 years. It's like a leak in a tub. At first the drops do not have much effect but overtime, the tub could overflow or erode. Look up older people who are doing well such as Ernestine Shepherd, Johanna Quaas (now deceased), and Mark Sisson. 

Also read books on managing your emotions, mindset, and health. There are books like:

• Eat for Life by Dr. Joel Fuhrman
• How Not To Die by Dr. Michael Gregor
• The Longevity Paradox: How to Die Young at a Ripe Old Age by Dr. Steven Gundry
• The End of Alheimzer's by Dr. Dale Bredesen 

Lastly, if you are going to have to deal with old age, you definitely want to enjoy your youth while you have it and you can't do that if you are worried about something that has not happened yet (and does not have to happen). Focus on the present by being mindful---using the habits mentioned in the beginning that build happiness (gratitude, acts of kindness, exercise, meditation, positive journaling, and fostering relationships).
