ALTER YOUR ATTITUDE = ALTER YOUR AGING

There are times when we all need an inspirational nudge to keep our spirits up. Who hasn’t experienced how the right words at the right time can make a huge positive difference? I believe that it’s important to continuously create verbal boosters, or “affirmations.” and repeat them as mantras whenever our spirits slacken. In this way, we’ll turn those negative attitudes into positive ones, and be motivated to make necessary changes in our lives.

To achieve an attitude shift in relation to my specialty, the aging process, since my name is Hattie, I’ve created Hattietudes™. Here are 20 positive affirmations designed to be “booster shots” that inject you with fresh energy and optimism about the aging process.

20 HATTIETUDES™ TO INSPIRE YOU TO RETROAGE Age is not the reason…it’s the excuse. Never forget the YOU in Youth. Impossible = I’m Possible Life gets harder, but you get smarter. The hands of time are yours. Take aging into your own hands. Don’t let gravity get you down. Fighting Mother Nature is good exercise. Love is contagious. Go out and catch some. Your first youth is a gift from nature; your life-long one is a gift from yourself. Convert envy into inspiration and you’ll never run out of fuel. Blame and shame maim. Age doesn’t make you forget … it teaches you what’s important to remember. Bless every rejection. It takes hundreds to get one good yes. Wrinkles don’t make you old. Babies have plenty of them. Suffering is an option you don’t have to pick up. Where there’s a will there’s a won’t. Respect the negative. Never give up your dreams. They keep you awake. If it’s been done, you can do it. If it hasn’t, you can be the first. Learn to love hard work. It’s the only way anything gets done. Youth isn’t wasted on the young – or on anyone else!
