Nurse Jen posts videos regarding things she has observed during thirty years of nursing that affect us as we get older.
The first one I watched was a list of seven things that indicate someone is aging well. I don’t remember all seven but here’s what I do remember, not in any particular order, and using my words not hers.
- You get yourself out of bed, off the toilet, and up from a chair without assistance.
- You manage your medicines including knowing what you take and why.
- You find something to laugh at every day.
- You challenge your brain by doing things like reading, working puzzles, participating in hobbies, etc.
- You connect with at least one other person every day.
- You adapt to changes.
If you want to learn the other one, I guess you’ll have to go watch her videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Khs8kvCTbBA&t=338s
Those listed above I do regularly. I guess that means I am aging well. How about you?
TTYL,
Linda
