thank you
taking control
of an aging process
the Victoria’s Secrets and on Victoria I
want to start with asking you a question
and meditate on it for a couple of
seconds and then I’ll tell you what the
answer is and though there are several
people here I think that know what the
answer is okay how young do you think I
am ninety-six years young when I was in
my 80s people and friends and colleagues
and even young people 20 to 30 years of
age ask me Victoria how do you do it
what is your secret
well I contemplated it for a while and
then I thought I would answer it in two
ways
the first is my mantra which is make
sure you want to live a long life and
feel living with grace and acceptance
the acceptance is very very important no
matter what happens with you
make sure you accept it and move on the
next was that I decided I would write a
book and it’s Victoria’s 95 secrets on
how to live a wonderful happy healthy
long life now what is a perception
perception of aging the consideration of
how you can you accept living a long
life or aging and most of it is negative
it’s too bad because most people feel
that it’s your pardon me that you’re
leaving that your your your trailing and
you have to live with a long with a
partner it’s sort of interesting to me
that you have to do these certain things
and that sure that there are so many
things that are negative you’re you were
afraid of losing losing you
memory and then there you fear many
things and the it’s a stereotypical that
these things are happening with you you
don’t have to feel that way now
there are ways that you can overcome
them the leaders of the the researchers
of living a long life revealed that you
don’t have to be negative you can enjoy
the golden leaders because there are so
many ways and so many products out there
that will help you can take control of
the the aging of the aging process and
as you see many people feel that they
have to be confined to a wheelchair or
they have to live the rest of their
lives an assisted living facility or in
the nursing home and that’s all very
negative but you don’t have to do that
the leaders of longevity research
revealed that you can live a long life
and have all these benefits of the
products that are out there I’ve had a
happy wonderful great life I’ve had my
disappointments I’ve had my failings and
I’ve had many negative things that have
happened to me
that everyone has experienced and I’m
not alone in it I’ve had an exciting
career in fashion journalism I had a
business of my own and I’ve worked for
government I’ve had a wonderful personal
life and a most loving marriage that has
lasted 58 years but I lost my husband
when we were 82 Parkinson disease that
was the most difficult experience that
I’ve ever had but I feel grateful I feel
honored and gifted to live this long
life now I’m an author I’ve written four
books I’m on my fifth book and I’m on my
sixth book as well
and I am a career life coach and I’m a
speaker and I have a mission which I
happened to turn into when I was 90
years old it’s to help others
centenarians by country are growing all
over the world and we’re lucky in the
United States we have 72,000
centenarians Japan has 61 thousand China
has 49,000 Brazil has 24 thousand and
the state that has it’s a very small
state Connecticut has the most
centenarians throughout the country
however recent reports from the Society
of Actuaries says that the district has
increased
people are dying younger and the rate of
life expectancy has dropped however with
all the products and the ways to handle
the declining years have changed so we
hope that people will be living longer
in the future
now there’s another statistic that was
just reported by the AARP a few months
ago and it’s the percentage of genetics
that plays in the role that you live and
how long you live I felt it was rather
what it is and I was surprised with real
realize that it was what I was expecting
it’s only 20% many people feel it’s lots
more and 20% is due to your health sixty
percent is due to how you live your life
and this is how my secrets come into
being and my family my family is an
example of how little genetics play in
your life my sister who was three years
older than I at 48 was diagnosed with
lung cancer
she lived 12 years to 60 Here I am I’ve
had no serious in Indian is’s or
diseases and I’m here talking to you as
son 90
about how you two can live a long life
now before I go on to my 10 10 secrets
that I’m going to talk to you about I
want you to lead with the common sense
basics visit your doctor as often as he
or she suggests eat nutritious foods
define your self-image that’s very
important and I find out who you are and
that you can and you want to live a long
life
watch your weight an important thing get
plenty of sleep and I put this on last
item exercise because III walk a mile
and a half every morning and at night
before dinner
I exercise for half an hour then twice a
week I meet with Jen who is my trainer
and she told me that I was accomplishing
something that was really unusual so I
wondered what it is and I hope it’s a
plank position
and a couple of well about three or four
months ago I reach two minutes and she
said you know you’re going to be
speaking and I’d like you to tell your
audience what you have achieved well I
got to two minutes but just recently I
made three minutes and 11 seconds
now let’s get to my secrets and I’ll go
through them rather quickly and give you
a little explanation but you can find
them in a brochure that I have and in
much detail and in my book first to me
the most important thing and this is how
I’ve lived my life I hadn’t realized it
until fairly recently practice the power
of positive thinking it’s amazing how
you put take care of your health just by
thinking positively
don’t fret the mistakes you make learn
from them analyze them know they are
mistakes and then correct them 3 and
this to me is almost one of the
important and I practice all all every
day of my life
smile smile a lot and see what happens
it’s amazing how lifting it is and it’s
contagious people aren’t drawn to you
when you smile just try it and keep
doing it every day I do it all the time
now number four you can indulge in
things that are good for you that are
good and good for you
like I’m chocoholic and chocolate is
good for you but make sure that you have
the largest the best chocolate you can
get and also wine indulge in wine but
one glass of wine a night except men can
have two women should have just one and
either either red or white they both
have benefits to help you now this is
critical today don’t take growing old
sitting down it’s the new smoking
there are many things out there that you
can do to overcome the sitting-down
concept and what I’m going to do because
you’ve been sitting here for a little
while just get up and stand
and stretch in that good and there are
loads of ways I don’t go into them but
there are loads of ways to overcome the
sitting disease so you may sit
and now curiosity I’m most curious about
everything in the world that’s why I’m
here I want to learn I take courses I
take courses and several things
constantly in fact it’s 24/7 curiosity
assures a happy healthy life and make
sure you keep current with technology
now another one and people tell me oh
you’re interested sure why not
face your sexuality head-on there are
more benefits than just this joy of sex
there’s you strengthen your muscles and
you and you’re gonna help eliminate pain
so make face your sexuality head-on now
this is what I love unconditional love a
pet I have a pet and it’s a dominate by
gentle with it and it’s on the cover of
my book and if you don’t have a pet make
sure you have one of your own if you
have a family pet that’s okay too but
having one of your own is something very
precious or if you are allergic to a pet
to dogs or cats of her then how about
getting a bird or a friend of mine has a
piglet I’d love to have a really good
and there’s so many others and pursue
the one that would be best for you
and number nine is build a roster of
diverse friends to me that is also a
critical thing have people who are not
in your own business have people or
different genders ages sexes color
everything I have a young girl who well
when I first met her she’s 14 she was 14
and now she’s grown up to 17 and going
to college she promises come back and
visit me it’s wonderful to have her and
then I have several men friends that
summer of 26 summer 40 and we have fun
together despite my youth and the last
and it’s almost as important as the
first of practicing the power of
positive thinking develop a pursuit with
a purpose that’s something I have but I
didn’t really have it and believe in it
until I was 90 and I’m so happy to be
here talking about having you move on in
your life now before I close the last
thing I’ll talk about is a visit that I
had with my doctor when I was about 92
or 93 as you can tell I have a lot of
things that I’d like to be involved in
and I felt I needed at least 15 more
years he said you had 30 how they like
that but he’s a doctor to centenarian so
now I close by saying make sure you want
to live a long life and make sure you do
practice all the common-sense basics
along with practicing positive thinking
so I close and practice these positive
things things you might make it to a
hundred or more because that’s what I
plan to do so enjoy every moment of your
life
