When it comes to keeping your aging brain healthy, there are plenty of companies that are willing to take your money. Supplement companies tell us that pills and potions will keep us sharp. Video game companies swear that just 20-minutes a day with their “brain games” is what we need. There are even gyms that combine mental and physical exercises for older adults. Actually, this last one is probably a good idea! In any case, today, I want to talk about something simple (and FREE) that each of us can do every day to give our brains a boost. That’s right, I’m talking about good old-fashioned reading and writing. I hope that you enjoy today’s video! What are you doing to keep your brain healthy? Do you follow a special diet? Play brain games? Read? Write? Stay social?

I have a degree in Religious Studies from the University of Colorado. All my life, I have felt that the basic principles shared in all organized religions align and are built on common values. These include kindness, love, tolerance and respect for each other. Read More

As an 80-year-old model and cancer survivor, Valerie Ramsey knows a thing or two about healthy aging. And, as an author and mother of six, she is constantly on the move and always wants to look her best. So, I just had to get her on the show! I honestly enjoyed this interview (link below) so much. Valerie is simply beautiful, inside and out. What do you think of the trend towards more older adults getting involved in modeling? What do you believe are the secrets to healthy aging?

Over the last several years, I have tried hard to make most of our content free to the community. But, since Sixty and Me is also a business, I have had to charge for a few things… like our gentle yoga DVDs. Well, today, I have some good news. I have decided to make all of our yoga videos completely FREE on YouTube. No catch. No fees. No password. Just life-changing yoga practices designed for women like us. This decision is going to cost me money, but, I just want to make a difference in the world. So, I’m happy to do this for you. I only have one favor to ask. If you like the videos, please share them with your friends. Let’s change the world together! Click the link below to watch the first video.

World travel is high on the list of things women our age crave. Many women have a long list of places they want to explore in retirement. One goal is to experience adventures we could not enjoy when busy working or raising children…

Modern life is filled with buzzing devices and flashing screens. Is it any surprise that we can’t hear ourselves think? If you feeling a bit overwhelmed by all of the stimulation in this crazy world of ours, you will love today’s video. In it, I explain how to find peace and quiet in a noisy world. What do you do to find peace and quiet? Are there any activities that you enjoy? Places that you go?

When I was a young woman, alone and ready for adventure, I picked up my backpack and boarded a plane for India. I didn’t come back for months. In some ways, I never came back. But, no matter how much the travel of my youth influenced me, it doesn’t compare to the way that travel in my 60s (and now 70s) makes me feel. Perhaps I’m just a little wiser. Or maybe, I am finally able to slow down and enjoy the journey. But, for whatever reason, traveling as an older solo woman is liberating and powerful. So, in today’s video, I would like to share some thoughts on how travel broadens your perspective at any age. Have you taken any trips lately that helped you to see the world in a different way? Do you agree that travel broadens your perspective at any age?

Our thoughts have a powerful impact on the directions of our lives… this is as true at age 66 as it was when we were 16. So, today, I thought that I would take a break from all of the breaking news in the world and share 20 amazing ways to create joyful thoughts every single day! I hope that you find today’s video useful! Are there any particular activities that help you to think happy, joyful thoughts? What do you do to create joyful thoughts every day?

Life is serious stuff. We worry about family, money, our health, our partners, the world and a myriad of other concerns. When we reach our 60s, our concerns don’t go away… but, today, I want to argue that, at the very least, we can stop taking *ourselves* quite so seriously. When we do, the other troubles that enter our minds won’t seem quite as bad. Do you remember to giggle at yourself once in a while? Do you ever find yourself talking life (or yourself) too seriously?
