Why AgeEnvy?
There are two types of envy, positive (benign) and negative (menacing). We only focus on the type known as “benign envy” which positively effects self-confidence.
Pro and Anti Aging
Pro-aging is a positive mind-shift away from the negative connotations that come with anti. Still, the reality is that people don't wake up enthusiastic about looking and feeling older during the natural aging process. They don't get excited about seeing new frown lines, wrinkles, and age spots on their faces.
Thinking positively about aging bears a healthy attitude that leads to better living. Still, it doesn't shift a desire to look better during the aging process, which underlies the "anti" sentiment in the first place. Instead, it underscores the determination to look and feel better during the aging process. But a shift in thinking isn't enough to achieve goals. Thoughts must become actions and habits to become destiny. Enter self-confidence. Self-confidence is a critical requirement for self-achievement — both necessary to face fears and embrace life's challenges. Aging poses a significant psychological challenge in today's society, necessitating self-confidence. And when confidence is emboldened by encouragement, inspiration, and admiration from like-minded constituents, societal paradigms shift.
However, anti-aging is much more than a paradigm. Research, according to the "Global Anti-Aging Market Report and Forecast (2019-2024)", shows that it's a major Global Industry, driven by a voracious desire for "good physical personality, which has become a necessity and determines the success of an individual in different areas of life. The growing consciousness among both the young and old consumers regarding their physical appearance has fostered the demand for anti-aging products and devices."
While a pro-aging paradigm seeks to shape consciousness toward embracing and accepting the effects of aging, such as grey hair, age spots, and wrinkles, it won't stand against the desire for good physical personality, and it shouldn't.
The facts about the difference our physical appearance makes cannot be denied as long as physical appearance continues to build self-confidence emboldened by encouragement, inspiration, and admiration among like-minded constituents. Waking up enthusiastic about looking and feeling great during the natural aging process is reality, and pro-agers will not fail to achieve a positive mind-shift by keeping the habits of anti-agers.
The anti-aging industry has embraced and increased the ability to enhance appearance, as well as improve health and self-confidence. It is not absurd to consider that today's anti-aging and pro-aging drivers are the same.
Not just maintaining, but also enhancing how we look is a part of everyday life and is not a new concept. In fact, it is ancient. Consider the simplicity but significant impact that basic grooming and hygiene have on our physical personality and self-confidence. When we style our hair, or put on some make-up and wear a great looking outfit, we enhance our physical appearance and improve self-confidence. When we take care of our skin, teeth, and nails, we benefit not only in health but also in appearance and social acceptance. Scientific and technological advances now give us the ability to resurface our aging skin, whiten our yellowing teeth, and regenerate hair growth.
Indeed, the natural process of frown lines, wrinkles, age spots, and grey hair should be celebrated as a blessing that marks an experienced, longer life, and we support this too! But it's also natural to want to reverse or improve adverse effects that these and other signs of aging can have on appearance and self-confidence. Perhaps acceptance of and admiration toward both opinions is a stronger view. “Learning to celebrate people regardless of how they ‘choose to look’ as they age is paramount.”
