Ageing Upwards: A mindfulness-based framework for the longevity revolution
Show Notes

Congratulations! You have been given about 20 more years to live than your grandparents. How are you going to make the most of them?

My guest today on the Women Living Well After 50 Podcast is Berit Lewis. Berit shows that the story we so often tell ourselves about ageing – that it’s all downhill from 50 – is simply wrong. In fact, research reveals we are at our happiest aged 80! Combining her extensive experience in teaching mindfulness with her knowledge of how to live and age well, she reveals a simple framework that can help you make the most out of those extra years of living. Rather than wait for society to solve the challenges of longevity, she invites us to explore what each of us can do to take responsibility for our own life and ageing process.

During the conversation we discussed:

  • Berit’s story and how she came to write the book
  • What does Aging Upwards mean?
  • Chronological andbiological aging
  • The Importance of Mindfulness – the power of ‘non-doing’
  • Embracing aging rather than avoidin it
  • The Aging Upwards framework
  • Taming the Wandering Negative mind by savouring the pleasant
