Had a great time talking with Judith! @judith_graham
🙌 The art of reframing 🙌 What do you often say to yourself that can be reframed with self-compassion?
A reminder: #ageism harms your heart, magnifies stress, and may predict #Alzheimers. How about a national anti-ageism campaign as a public health initiative? nextavenue.org/ageism-health-…
Excellent article about ageism and how to tackle it from @AdiGaskell. forbes.com/sites/adigaske…

@emmavardy2 @sean9n @RoseAnnekenny1 @maryniloc @OlderTrialsProf Oooh lovely!! Agree @RoseAnnekenny1 also @BeccaLevyPhD both FABULOUS - Becca’s work also explains lots about how societal attitudes influence ageing. It’s not all about the individual! We need to shift the whole dial ❤️💪📚🕺🏻🎺⛷️💐🎂❤️
Counterintuitively, older people can be the most ageist of all. We've had a lifetime of absorbing negative stereotypes about #aging, mostly unconsciouisly. @NextAvenue explains how internalized #ageism harms us all. @encore_janine @BeccaLevyPhD nextavenue.org/are-you-ageist/

💡#DYK? You can learn to strengthen your positive beliefs about #aging, and in the process, improve your physical functioning. Here are some great tips from @YaleSPH professor of #epidemiology, @BeccaLevyPhD: spr.ly/6010RL5YO @seniorplanet @DohenyKathleen #PositiveThinking
Attitudes about #aging shape both how long we're likely to live, and how well. @HDennis1 @BeccaLevyPhD dailynews.com/2023/12/24/how…
@thischairrocks @BeccaLevyPhD @NIH @JacquelineConci Indeed Ashton @thischairrocks! So goes the saying "If you want to age well, better start when you are young" and this goes for attitudes & #selfperceptions of aging! 🙌
It's never too early to check your age bias. Negative age stereotypes can affect cardiovascular health 40 years later. @BeccaLevyPhD @NIH via @JacquelineConci ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

I am so humbled and honored to be receiving the “Community Impact Award” from the @CSocialWorkEd! I first thank my community partners for trusting me to work with them. I wouldn’t be able to do this work without them all❤️🙏🏾 cswe.org/about-cswe/gov…
Excellent suggestions about how to challenge negative age beliefs, and why this matters so much. Think of it as a shift from a fear-based attitude to one based on facts. You're likely to live longer—and you'll live better. @BeccaLevyPhD, @DrReginaKoepp nytimes.com/2023/09/20/wel…
Excited that the Yale Pepper Center has been refunded for an additional 5 years. The Center is 1 of only 2 such programs nationwide to receive continuous @NIHAging support since it was first funded in 1992, marking more than 30 years of excellence in geriatrics & aging research.
@APA @BeccaLevyPhD This is so interesting! Thank you, @APA and @BeccaLevyPhD.
"#ageism doesn’t just sell anti-wrinkle creams. It affects how people think, feel and act." That's why #ageism harms our health. Unlearning isn't easy, but it's free, it's doable, and it works. @elaberwarren @BeccaLevyPhD @mariannaalda @AndrewSteward16 washingtonpost.com/wellness/2023/…
