When I hear the term Age Esteem I think in our old age that we should be happier with what we have, including health and wrinkles, and not think “Oh I’m getting old now.” or “It’s too late.”
Alex’s tips: I would say you have to love yourself and in order to love yourself you have to be in good health, so you need to do something about it. I know I drink a little bit too much, but I eat healthy, I move a lot, I do my exercises, I try to help other people. But it’s not always easy.
I’m a little short tempered with people who have health problems because they do nothing about it. They do nothing to prevent the problems even when they have time to exercise and money to buy good food. I know it is sometimes expensive to eat good fruit and vegetables instead of junk food, but if you can do that and don’t do it, I have no patience.

What is Age Esteem? When I first saw Bonnie Fatio,s book AgeEsteem: Growing A Positive Attitude Toward Aging I thought it was about aging. I thought it’s going to tell me how to age gracefully and this it great!
What I worry most about aging is aches and pains. I’ve never been sick a day in my life, but when I turned 50 I started feeling some aches and pains and that’s one of my concerns. And you know I look in the mirror and I see wrinkles and I start buying eye creams and stuff. I have beauty products to prevent aging. The reason is that it’s probably been on my mind since I was 25. I’m a believer in prevention.
Diane’s tips: I stay active. I have friends. I love working in my garden. I feel good working in the garden. I’m strong enough to do things and have the energy. I feel good. I have a cup of coffee every morning. I read my Bible every day. It gives me inspiration and I look at my life and I look at where I’ve been and where I am now and I’m thankful. I thank God. If God doesn’t bless me with anything else, I’m blessed. Yes, I’m totally blessed. I have a lot of great friends. I have a wonderful husband whose a good friend. That makes it easy. I have a daughter. I have grandchildren. I carry their picture around and when I look at them I think what a wonderful blessing. I’m just thankful for what I have and I don’t worry about what I don’t have.

Turning 30 can be daunting. I know. – I once turned 30 myself. It seems like overnight you begin to discover little lines on your face. “Could they be wrinkles?! How can that be? I’m only going to be 30!”. You begin thinking about Botox and babies. Life seems to be picking up speed.
There are different concerns when you turn 40, 50, 60, but those concerns are real, too! Any anniversary with a zero or five seems to be a major obstacle.
Well wake up, shake up and grow some age-esteem into your life!

Would you like to wear a particular color or style but think you’re too old or too young? Do you worry about wrinkles and question whether you should invest in surgery or injections? Are you concerned about losing your job and being too inexperienced or over qualified to find a new one in today’s market?
Whenever we self-limit ourselves due to age we put on blinders to the opportunities surrounding us, opportunities that wait for us to open our eyes to them.
Too often people think that when a door closes, it’s the end. They’re again wearing blinders to opportunities, and to their own potential. AgeEsteemers know that although doors may be closed, they are never locked. It’s up to us to push them open.
Begin to grow your own AgeEsteem for the soul now, at the age you are today
