I am happy with my age. I am past the doubts, trials, and tribulations of youth and I look forward to many years of adding to my wisdom. The way I see it, the more years I experience, the more blessed I am!

Many people my age are concerned about being replaced on the job by a “young, promising talent.” But, I have something no amount of young talent can replace: experience and expertise.

These attributes can only be earned with years of ceaseless effort. I am confident in my abilities and prove myself every day to be an asset to my employer.

I am confident in my appearance. I have the glow of good health from my years of eating right and exercising. I take care of my skin and use anti-aging products to look my best. If a fine line shows up here and there, I wear it with pride, knowing that a happy life of laughter can cause such fine lines.

I am a loving parent, spouse, child, and friend. My loved ones appreciate me for my lovely personality, wit, and healthy sense of humor. These qualities are what they see when they look at me, rather than my age.

Age is only a number and it makes no difference what that number is. I am youthful, vibrant, good-looking, and healthy, regardless of the date that is written on my birth certificate.

Today, I accept the aging process. Every year I can put under my belt is another year of wisdom I can add to my repertoire.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. Does the physical aspect of aging make me uncomfortable?
2. What can I do to boost my self-confidence?
3. How can I keep myself feeling young?
