The Upside to Aging - Athulya Assisted Living

1. The Upside to Aging The Upside to Aging We all exist in this era, where aging is not the coolest phase to be in. How do we know this, you ask? From the umpteen advertisements and brands that focus on devices and tubes of non-aging goodness. Starting right from the 30s (which is in reality, quite youthful), up to the higher and smarter age groups. In order to achieve commercial accolades and so-called national progress, we are all being pulled into mainstream consumerism. The culminative ramification is on the social stigma transpired. All big words. What are we getting at, you ask? The same occurs in case of matters relating to age. Sugar-coating talks and words do not change anything. In fact, they shouldn’t be. Embracing aging as a part of our natural living process is important.

The rewarding aspect of being human is the newness and discoverability we have within ourselves. The scope and range of activities we all can experience. The plethora of emotions we can feel. These are the joys that do not change as we age. The child in us can be pampered at any time. Just be honest for a moment. How many of us rummage the kitchen and dining area secretly to get a late- night snack? We know we won’t be reproached. But the excitement of stealthily snacking never dies down. What can we do, you ask? The stereotyping in society and in our social circles must not determine the way we lead our lives. Our life is for us to enjoy. The barrier created in our minds by ourselves have to be broken first. Come out. Enjoy the air you breathe. Feel the fresh gust of wind on your face. Smile. For, there’s only upside to aging, as we go higher up the ladder. For more info visit www.athulyaliving.com or Like us on Facebook & follow us on Twitter for more updates!
