A Hidden Problem: Self Ageism! Time to stop it!
Let's Challenge Unthinking Ageism

A Hidden Problem: Self Ageism! Time to stop it!

Without realising it, we have started being Ageist against ourselves! And it is very hard not to be. Doubt if most of us even recognise that we are. Otherwise bright, sensible, people see a grey hair and find themselves panicking.

In that minute they are colluding with Ageism!

What a magical tree. So eerie! Love the way the roots look like a huge dragon. She has an eye, a mouth and even claws. Anything could be in that hole! Dragons eggs?And why has it got a Red Cross?

Fear of Ageing? So Strange!  Where Has It Come From?
Let's Challenge Unthinking Ageism

Fear of Ageing? So Strange! Where Has It Come From?

A wave of fear has engulfed the middle years of life.

Almost a tsunami! Sensible people worrying, fretting, feeling anxious about ageing, yet actually heading for the best stage of their lives!

How did that happen?

At 84 my Frailty Score is 3. Good? Bad? Yours?
Ageing Well, But The Odd Problem?

At 84 my Frailty Score is 3. Good? Bad? Yours?

Where are you on the Frailty Scale?
High enough?
Something you should be doing about it?
Get back to the optimum curve?
Make sure you dont slide?

And be #AgeProud about it!
