This reading gives me the impression that the more positive about yourself aging, the better you health will be. If you are more confident you will have to will to wake up everyday and get out of your bed. Although this is a possibility, many older people do not feel this way. They are always thinking about the negative affects of aging and this makes it hard for them to want to get out everyday. Part of being positive is to think as yourself as useful. Like the reading said the people who felt like they had a purpose and were useful, were the people that lived longer.
Some very important things and activities to think about and act in were mentioned in the reading. They said that physical exercise was very good. Not only physical but also mental. Exercising both parts can be very good for you and improves one's brain. Being social will also help you a lot. This will give you more confidence about yourself and make you more happy. Some things to remember when you are getting older is to be positive about it. Also while you are being positive about it you have to get exercise and be social. If you do all of these things it will lead to a good aging process
