Staying positive is the secret to aging well. Be encouraged! There are many easy life hacks to help you look on the bright side as you age.

SMILE

A 2019 study published in the Psychological Bulletin concluded that smiling makes you feel happy! Best of all—it’s free!

GRATITUDE

Intentional thankfulness is a sure way to brighten your days. Consider keeping a gratitude journal—write down one thing a day and go back to re-read items regularly.

EXERCISE

Trigger the release of feel-good chemicals in your brain. Take a walk, go dancing, or try yoga, and you’ll enjoy a boost to your overall mood.

CONNECT

Stay positive by combatting loneliness. Visit a neighbour, make a phone call, join a club—make an effort to make a connection.
