Even though a lot of people will tell you age is just a number, you will find that most people have hard time accepting their age. That's why they go very far to look young. Yes, we understand aging is a natural journey, but most of us do not like how we are aging? It is important that we accept out aging process, but the question is how do we do it?

Yes I don't deny my age. I know we should be proud of our ages so I don't need to shy from it
I don't deny my age, as it's inevitable to get old.
However, I don't track my age. I couldn't tell you off the top of my head how many years old I am as I'd have to do a quick calculation to get it right, but I can give it to you ±1-2 years on the fly. I imagine when I get older, it'll be like ±4-5 years as I'll be more forgetful of birthdays, since I don't really celebrate them, except for what the family wants to do which tends to be small, and my mental marker of how old I am.

I can relate to this. I don't celebrate my birthday and the only birthday wish I get is form my siblings and parents and sometimes they ask how old am I I have to do quick calculations. I remember the year and date but I will have to calculate how old I am.
Honestly speaking, I am quite obsessed with ageing. This is why I always look for ways to become younger. Science says that their are two types of ages. One is chronological age, which is the number of years a person has spent in this world. However, biological age could be reversed to some extent. This is what I am trying to do.
What choice do I have? It is not like denying it will reduce it in any way. I have learned to.live with the fact that I'm not getting younger anymore. But what's the most important is to make the current time count.
Some studies have suggested that it is possible to reverse aging to some extent. For example, certain studies suggest that it is possible to reverse ageing process within a few weeks and you can reverse your age by three years if you exercise daily and have a healthy diet.
That's fascinating! As for reversing aging, it may not be as literal as one might think, but you know it is always good to know that simple things such as exercise and diet will not only help with the physical but the mental state as well. I heard in a documentary that it is possible to not make our body cells age. I don't know how true this is.
I am not ashamed at my age, but I wished I had accomplished more at this age than I have. I'm also grateful to God and contented with every blessing that comes my way.
Aging is a natural phenomenon, but it's process can slowed down with healthy meals, regular exercises and less worries. That's why I encourage alot of young people to work very hard so that they can retire early.
Alot of people look far older than their age due to stress, just as there are also others who look much younger than their age. One's chronological age should match with One's economic achievements otherwise the person might appear older than their original age.
Just remind yourself that there is no Forever and feel lucky to reach the age that we have now. Many died too soon because of war and hunger.
I can't really deal with the fact I'm 48. I don't feel like it in my mind, but my body feels that way sometimes. Anyway, there is this old looking dude at work and he's 46 and it shocks me that me and him or the same age. Also, I've seen people from high school, and I am shocked by their age after I haven't seen them since college.

What does embracing age means, does this mean you are not afraid of announcing your age publicly? I am aware of my aging self but I am not the one who is easy about revealing age in public places.
I have embraced my age. I don't need to look younger. I already have a baby face. I know that my age comes with responsibilities, but I am not afraid of it all. That's one of the reasons why people fail to embrace their age.

I embrace my age wholeheartedly because it means accepting and being comfortable with the physical and emotional changes that come with it.
Some celebrities won't get plastic surgery like Sally Field. I admire that
That is good. I don't see any reason anyone would be doing plastic surgery unless they are not proud of themselves.
Getting old is not inevitable. My niece died at 34 and my favourite cousin at 20. This is the reason I consider trying to look younger as vain. You should be grateful you've lived long enough to reach that stage.
I embrace my age because it reflects my experiences and growth. I’ve learned to appreciate the wisdom that comes with time, even if challenges arise. Aging feels like a journey of self-discovery rather than something to fear or resist.
Does this mean you have no issue announcing your age? Don't you think people make opinion about you based on your age. If you are young, they don';t trust you because they think you are too young to understand, if you are old, they think you are too old to understand things.
