What's something you like about yourself or your body as you get older? So many things are hard...

My awareness increases..

and even if it sounds strange, my mobility and range of motion is getting better haha yes that possible too.
Used to have many accidents during my life that kept me immobile this way or another. As I am focusing more on healing, my mobility is getting actually better.
I hear people my age talk about pains and I can only cannot wait to heal more and to do more crazy stuff, other than hanging upside down trees 🤭

Body - I've learned to listen to my body while in the gym, not as heavy...more reps stuff.

Mind - Also learned to be very selective and protective of my time (with others)

This is a good post/question 😊

It's not something physical but as I get older I don't care that I don't go to clubs anymore or even hang out a lot with friends. In fact I really have no friends irl anymore, we've lost touch. 😟 While it stings a bit, I don't mind too much typically being alone .

There’s definitely a certain glow that you get when you pass your 20s

I used to hate wearing glasses and being bald but now I quite enjoy it and I feel it gives me a certain dominant aura 🤷🏻‍♂

Hallelujah on that!! I like watching my hair turn white. It's super weird but I'm embracing it. It's kind of an honor. People call me ma'am and I actually appreciate that these days.

Um, you do not look your age!

Aging does give you more perspective on what's important. Still not handling the important things as well as I should but there are less of them to stress me out now 😜😜

I've managed to put on muscle as I've gotten older. I was so thin for so long and was always self-conscious about it.

Teslin · M

I've learned to like myself more over the years. I am who I am. I'm a good person.
Etc 😊

I'm just more comfortable in my our skin these days...in acceptance I find graditude and in gratitude I always wake up with a left over smile.

• I can still dunk a basketball
• Don't need glasses for distance
• Hair still looks good & grows like crazy
• Can still fit into my senior prom dress ( but that one stain ... *sigh*)
• Sleep like a baby most nights

And the No. 1 Thing I like about my body -

ALL THOSE GREAT YELP REVIEWS FROM LOCAL GUIDES !!!

Well I'm near 60 and I still run sprint a mile. Oh yeah and don't ask me the time, I don't know. I just know I can still do it. I raced my grandkids around the highschool field track. I beat them. Well they didn't even finish.

They don't have the runner DNA in them I guess.

So I'm impressed myself. Even talking all that shit. I still able to do it. (Patting myself on the back)

I was ok with aging until about 60. Now...it's pissing me off! Hair color change was ok. But I'm losing some now. And what's with the eyebrows!!!

Between treating aches/pains with Icy Hot and the heating pad .. I can sleep w fewer covers 🥵 ;-)

Achelois · F

I’m lucky I’m so fair you can hardly see them.

I’m just glad I have a working body lol 😂

Probably all the "Well! that's the last time I will ever do that!" type stuff.

Put a roof on the house....won't have to do that again.

Just renewed my CDL = 8 years...maybe one more time...maybe not.

I'm getting better at understanding in general.

Nice legs I must add.👍🏼

SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M

I'm much calmer and more patient then when I was younger. I am good with delayed gratification, I don't mind putting things off or waiting awhile, I don't need to buy the latest gadget, see the latest movie, give a crap about the latest celebutard obsession...it's nice.
