Aging with Grace, Strength and Self-Love: The Life Guide Series

By Dr. Suzanne Gelb, PhD, JD

Feel like you're in a constant battle with your body, as time rolls by?

Feel like career options are more limited, as an older person?

Or that somehow, you're less "lovable" or "valuable," now that you've got a few wrinkles on your face?

If so, know that it's possible to reframe what "growing older" means to you.

Because growing older can mean… absolutely anything you want it to mean.

Inside this Life Guide, you'll find tools to support you to shift how you feel about aging… so that you can release the negativity, and get back to enjoying life!

YOU'LL LEARN HOW TO:

• Identify where your "stories" about aging came from.
• Decide what kind of "older person" you really want to be.
• Write a letter of gratitude to you body. (A powerful exercise, whether you are 30 or 103!)
• Take pride in your appearance and cultivate a personal style that you love—whether that means playing with cosmetics, creams and "anti-aging products," or not.
• Refocus your attention on the kinds of experiences that bring you joy, and all of the pleasures yet to come—instead of fretting about the time that's already "gone."
• And more!

To be alive, at any age, is an exquisite miracle.

Join the many people who have learned how to adopt a positive mindset about aging by following the steps in the life guide on AGING WITH GRACE, STRENGTH and SELF-LOVE, today!

Reviews

At age 46 (8 years ago), my husband of 20 years, left me for a 22-year-old – claiming I was too old for his tastes. I've worked hard to push past all those self-loathing emotions but your Guide really helped at a much deeper level. I'm feeling the love!

I have forgiven him but I realized I haven't forgiven myself. Hence, I just purchased your Forgiveness Guide. I'm eager to delve in! Thank you for your great work."  —Beth

"I never thought I'd say it, but after reading this guide I can say, "I love my aging skin' and "I am not damaged goods." No more disgust and shame. Now I'm convinced that I don't need to be a photoshopped, skinny, flawless woman to be desirable. I am Me — wise, beautiful, sexy.  At any age, shape or size.

"This book is a game changer. It prompted me to view aging with eagerness, instead of my usual apathy, and judgement about my physical looks. The exercises in the book were really helpful—I learned a lot.

Now, I know that every moment is worth living and should be treasured—Iwhether you're 5 years old, 50 years old or older!!! Thank you for this new lease on life.

Your guidebooks are gems.

—Alexandra Franzen, Published Author, Writing Teacher

If you are unhappy with your body, and the fact that it's aging — this book teaches you that you can change those feelings. I found the 3-step emotional release process and the write and reflect sections helped me restore my sense of self-worth and self-love. And I loved the examples at the end about older people who are doing amazing things.
