I turn 60 this week and am reminded of a quote from George Bernard Shaw, “We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” It is a powerful reminder about the importance of staying active and engaged in life. It is a philosophy that applies to both physical and mental activity. Keeping play in your life helps maintain youthfulness at any age.
Consider doing any or all of the following: Challenge yourself by learning a new skill like playing a musical instrument or a new activity, game, or sport like pickleball. Rediscover hobbies, games, and activities you loved as a kid. Engage in play with kids or pets. Join group games or sports to add social connections to your life.
Age is just a number. Attitude, mindset, and lifestyle are far more important than the number of years you have lived. Like Tim McGraw sang, “My next 30 years will be the best years of my life.”
