I was reading an article not too long ago and it made me laugh. It was about baby boomers and their children. It asserted that today’s baby boomer children are hairier and more cuddly. Some even yelp a lot louder! Of course I knew what they were referring to – cats and dogs. Today more baby boomers are becoming parents many times over by getting pets. It seems adults love to play the parent role forever or at least adopt a loyal friend. I was looking into the types of pets baby boomers like to have in their lives.

Money Matters Mindset for Baby Boomers
Are you someone who holds onto their money for dear life? Have you created a nest egg of wealth only to let the egg sit in the nest, never doing anything with it? Do you look at life/money as equating to saving, perhaps for that rainy day? Are you saving money for the next generation (your kids, grandkids) to enjoy one day? If so, then ask yourself this question… what about me? After all, life was designed to be about enjoying rather than enduring or merely existing!
Baby Boomers – Health Matters
It’s funny when you hear a reference being made to someone “getting up there in age” as being “over the hill”. Just exactly what is over the hill? Some would assert that it is when you hit 40, which used to be considered the middle of one’s life and things just go down from there. Well, that’s all wrong because 40 is no longer considered the midpoint with today’s expected longevity increasing. So, now it is considered 50 – Yes, many people today expect or hope to live to be 100 years old! Let’s go back to the “over the hill” saying. It is just that…nothing but a saying.
Life is an Echo – Baby-boomers
What we think about most, feel the most and act the most we will become the most. Many people get to a certain age in their lives and believe that is all they will ever be and/or be capable of becoming. It’s almost as if we reach an age of reflection – a mirror which reflects back to us physical and psychological imperfections. We see the things in life we feel most negative toward or dislike the most. Furthermore, we then turn these reflections into magnifications. We become overly critical of ourselves and focus on what we keep doing wrong, or the regrets we have instead of staying focused on the good things we want to bring into our lives. We continually put out a voice of negativity which echoes back negativity and this becomes our reality.
Calling All Aging Baby Boomers – The Next Step
In my last article on the Aging Baby Boomer topic – Simple Ways for Aging Baby Boomers to Stay Young – I discussed ways to live and incorporate healthier activities and mindsets into becoming a “new you” or “older you with a new, positive outlook” so you can still be or become your best self. And the bottom line: It’s truly never too late to learn any and all new tricks of the trade to help you feel young… or at least young at heart! If you recall, in the last article I asserted that it all starts in and with the mind. You are only as old, or “slightly worn,” as you believe yourself to be. The key to understanding and accepting your current age and your perception of it is to develop a new and current mindset which dictates how old you want to feel – and hopefully that is forever young!
