People get happier as they age
Adding more proof that the saying ‘You’re only as old as you feel’ could be true, a new study has found that that over-50 are content, and their lives will get even better in another 20 years. Around 65 per cent of those in their 50s said they were very happy or quite content, but this rose to 75 per cent for those in their 60s and 76 per cent for those in their 70s, reports the Daily Mail. Among men, one in three said they were confused about their financial future and 19 per cent said they were happy.
Women were far more optimistic with 43 per cent being ‘happy’ and around 30 per cent confused. However, there was universal concern about the ability to pay for their care in old age. A total of 77 per cent of those in their 50s were slightly or very concerned about their ability to pay for their own care, while this increased to 79 per cent for those in their 60s and 83 per cent for those in their 70s. Dr Robert McCaffrey, author of the study, said: “Taken as a whole we see that there is generally agreement between the sexes about what is important in retirement, with leisure time being most important, followed by a focus on health."
If one at 25 or 35 age search for immortal life through.. prayer.. Dhyan.. Meditation... Ignite inner Energy for spiritual search to become whole .. than there is no need for any security .. Either financial or family... Universe take care ... All Happiness with Financial will frustrated at last life because life is going to waste .. every moment death will come .. this body who want luxuries from power .. soon be dissolve... what for these insecure security...
Yes this is very true. When you are in fifties, you are not easily ruffled by the events easily. The happiness comes with the achievements already tasted by this time. Your understanding of the people and why they behave in the particular circumstances is more. The expectations from others are less and this helps in being contented and happy.
It is the understanding which comes with age ... the understanding of limitation and options.... This understanding of events remove the anxiety of the events and people tend to be more content ... content ness gives them the feeling of happiness.....
Positively lets you age successfully
Ageing is something that bothers most of us Nothing is more frightening than waking up with more wrinkles and fine lines all over our face But the truth is we all will age at some point of time Now, a new German study has shed light into how the brain can help us age successfully Ageing successfully has been linked with the ‘positively effect’, a biased tendency towards and preference for positive, emotionally gratifying experiences Now, Dr Stefanie Brassen and her colleagues explain how and when this effect works in the brain.
They studied this effect by using neurons imaging to evaluate brain engagement in young and old adults while they performed a specialized cognitive task that included supposedly irrelevant pictures of either neutral, happy, sad or fearful faces During parts of the task when they didn't have to pay as much attention, the elderly subjects were significantly more distracted by the happy faces When this occurred, they had increased engagement in the part of the brain that helps control emotions and this stronger signal in the brain was correlated with those who showed the greatest emotional stability.
“Integrating our findings with the assumptions of life span theories we suggest that motivational goal-shifting in healthy aging leads to a self-regulated engagement in positive emotions even when this is not required by the setting," said author Dr Stefanie Brassen “In addition, our finding of a relationship between rostra anterior cingulated cortex activity and emotional stability further strengthens the hypothesis that this increased emotional control in aging enhances emotional well being,” she said.
Interesting and true! Also, more so, when one has good financial security, good health, and most importantly, achieved a big chunk of their dream and worked hard to achieve it.
