Ageing Upwards: A mindfulness-based framework for the longevity revolution

Congratulations! You have been given about 20 more years to live than your grandparents. How are you going to make the most of them?My guest today on the Women Living Well After 50 Podcast is Berit Lewis. Berit shows that the story we so often tell ourselves about ageing – that it’s all downhill from 50 – is simply wrong. In fact, research reveals we are at our happiest aged 80! Combining her extensive experience in teaching mindfulness with her knowledge of how to live and age well, she reveals a simple framework that can help you make the most out of those extra years of living. Rather than wait for society to solve the challenges of longevity, she invites us to explore what each of us can do to take responsibility for our own life and ageing process.During the conversation we discussed:Berit’s story and how she came to write the bookWhat does Aging Upwards mean?Chronological andbiological agingThe Importance of Mindfulness – the power of ‘non-doing’Embracing aging rather than avoidin itThe Aging Upwards frameworkTaming the Wandering Negative mind by savouring the pleasantConnect with Berit<br/>Check out www.thrivinglife.eu Sign up to the Blog and Newsletter Ageing UpwardsSue Loncaric<br/>Women Living Well After 50<br/>Email: sue@womenlivingwellafter50.com.au<br/>Facebook <br/>Instagram
