Old age has been associated with worries, slowing down the pace of life and the feeling of "going backward" in family and society. However, in recent years, the image of the elderly has become brighter, more proactive and energetic. They not only live long but also live happily, healthily, and usefully, and that starts with knowing how to cherish their health, pursue their interests and create joy for themselves.
For many people, the age of flight is no longer a period of passive rest but becomes a precious time to return to oneself. Instead of spending all their time taking care of their children and grandchildren, many NCT now proactively build a scientific lifestyle, actively participate in clubs for refreshment, walk every morning, practice yoga, eat healthy and have regular health check-ups.
It is their proactiveness in physical care that has helped them maintain flexibility, prevent diseases and improve their quality of life.
In addition to health, spirituality is also a factor that the elderly pay attention to. Many people have chosen to return to their passions that were left behind during their youth: writing, painting, playing the instrument, learning to dance, growing flowers, taking care of bonsai...
Some even set up folk song groups, picnicking bicycle groups, and participated in social networks to share daily joys. These activities not only enrich spiritual life but also expand community connections, helping the elderly not feel lonely or left behind.
Mr. Nguyen Van Phuc (68 years old, Hai Duong City) shared: "Before, I thought retirement was boring, but after one try at a painting class, I felt like I was "young again". Now I also teach extra classes to my hometown classmates, I feel happy every day.
Living in peace does not mean giving up responsibility, but is knowing how to let go of unnecessary burdens, choosing things that make yourself happy, healthy and meaningful. NCT today has been showing a new model: not afraid of innovation, constantly contributing, living positively from thinking to action.
Old age is the autumn of human life - quiet but brilliant. When they know how to love themselves and spread positive energy, the elderly will not only live a long life, but also live beautifully and peacefully.
