• With more than 70,000 Centenarians in the US
  alone, its obvious many of our elders are making
  the most of their lives, no matter their age. But
  how? And even if youre just over 80, or under
  80, wherever youre at in life, there are ways to
  stay positive and see the glass half-full.

• There is this movement that many of you may not
  know about called Positive Psychology, which
  hones in on the idea that how we think about our
  day-to-day living shapes what it means to be
  happy. Asking questions like What makes life
  worthwhile in our later years despite physical or
  mental challenges? With specific actions and
  habits that we can learn, the process of aging
  can become more positive

• With your resources, it is helpful to be
  selective, optimize and compensate. This means as
  you are adapting to the aging process, limiting
  your options or life choices in order to optimize
  your functioning level as your faculties decline.
  So basically, practice the behaviors you want to
  remain intact (exercise, playing an instrument,
  leading a group, etc.) and figure out what type
  of support or modified techniques you need to
  carry out to continue doing the activity.

• Understand what your life goals are at this point
  and make your decisions based on those ideals. To
  lead this sort of fulfilling and satisfying life
  as you age, its important to understand your
  place in the world and then choosing to make your
  contribution no matter how small.

• Its also important to know how to help others
  and receive help in return and knowing how to
  approach your stage of life with an ongoing
  desire to learn new things and have new
  experiences.

  strategies of thinking and feeling in ways that
  counteractive most patterns. Practice gratitude,
  forgiveness and honesty.

• Its a mindset. It is disciplining yourself to
  reframe perceptions and cultivating those
  positive emotions as you cope with whatever
  dilemmas come with old age. Neuroscience studies

  skills.
