Anti-Aging VS. Well-Aging
I am in my fifties and had menopause a year ago. So whenever I see "anti-aging" on the package of the product, I tend to have strong desire to buy. Who likes aging except when you were in elementary school or something.
Recently I started seeing this sweet lady who is 85 years old. I literally look her chart several times to see that her age is 85 not 65. Full salt and pepper gray hair with smiley face and positive, pleasant attitude. She showed me what Well-aging means. When we focus on Anti-aging, aging itself becomes miserable enemy. The enemy we have to fight and against it. However we focus on Well-aging, it starts give me peace. There's a YouTube video that a menopause expert mentioned about since we started using hormone replacement therapy, there are a lot less generous grandmothers than before. Menopause is natural way to not compete with other younger generation to be selected. but since people taking the Hormones it made ladies to have competitive mind set. I thought it was very interesting point. I see those patients who hate aging tend to have higher anxiety.
So I rather focus on how Well I aging with Acupuncture and herbs. Join the club!!!
