Even if it isn’t always obvious, ageism is alive in many forms. While it’s true that the chances of becoming a victim of ageism are higher if you’re above 60, it doesn’t have to be the case. Don’t victimize yourself, for you can overcome ageism if you try.
Before worrying about how other people treat you, make sure you have a positive mindset towards your age. You should be capable of looking in the mirror and confidently telling yourself, “You’re the perfect age for you today.”
Ageing isn’t just living longer than others. It’s about all the insight and experience you gain throughout the years. Make sure you acknowledge what you know and take advantage of it.
Another step is to rely on yourself as much as possible. My grandma is in her 70s, and she still does her own shopping and housework and refuses our help in most cases.
Working out is also a great way to improve your physical and mental health. A healthy body stops younger people from thinking you can’t keep up with them.
Overcoming ageism can be much easier if you keep yourself up-to-date. Try to understand new technology as long as it doesn’t confuse you too much. Use social media to communicate with people you know, and show them that you’re not living in the past.
You need to not let people push you around because of your age. If you’re in a family gathering, try to join in on the conversation and actively participate in what they do.
Being around younger people can help as well. It gives you that motivating energy to push yourself further and further. Back in the day, I had a classmate in a programming course I took who was in her 60s. She was more motivated than most of my other colleagues.
