Have you ever imagined yourself at 100 years old? What would that be like for you: healthy, sick, wise, dumb, bed-ridden, active? In Ageless Body, Timeless Mind, Chopra reveals that researchers have found that most centenarians are adaptable. "At some point in their lives, all have suffered losses and setbacks..." but they all adapted to their new situation and moved on. They were able to grieve and come to peace with whatever devastation that came their way.
Many of us still hold onto our grief of a lost loved one, a failed marriage or even a job layoff. We are holding onto this pain and living this past part of ourselves over and over. The research does not show a significant factor of the centenarians longevity linked to what they ate, where they lived, or how happy their life was. The study showed that these centenarians were resilient and able to deal with their pain, move on, and live in the present moment. What pain are you holding onto that can be released?
