Aging Well

The term "anti-aging" is beyond popular.

And I don’t love it.

It implies aging is something we don’t want to do.

That “older” is not as beautiful or as good as “younger.”

.

I personally want to keep aging.

Aging is evolving, learning, and growing.

I prefer the current version of myself much better than any previous version. And it is older. It has aged.

.

Allowing aging and my cells to be 52 years old,

as they are,

is accepting reality and life.

It is a way of celebrating the journey the experience and the wisdom acquired along the way.

.

I want to age “well.”

I don't want to "anti-age." I want to age with authenticity, grace, style, and love.

I want to “relax in” to aging - a mindset we offer in yoga.

I want to let go of judgment and frustration and resistance to “aging” or “looking old.”

I want to own my wisdom, experience, skill, and my 52-year-old natural beauty- -grey hair, stretch marks, sunspots, and all.

It is what and who I am.

I hope you will join me in celebrating what and who you are.
