By modeling a “take charge” attitude, boomers are demonstrating that there are new ways to age and grow older and creating models for future generations. It’s no surprise that this epic generation is revolutionizing our collective approach to the “golden years” and also sinking the majority of the monies spent on wellness in this decade.

Here are 5 tips to adapt in order to adopt the baby boomer mentality

1. Try something new
Rather than stick with your same old vacation spot, why not choose a destination that is new and unfamiliar? Follow the boomer lead and plan a wellness vacation that includes a one-stop-shop at a wellness resorts.

2. Face your fears head on
Afraid of getting old and sick? Learn how to prevent illness now, instead of waiting until it’s too late. Take a workshop in healthy aging or preventative healthcare. It’s easier to confront difficult issues when you face them head on.

3. Explore the unknown
As we age it can become easy to believe we’ve seen and done it all. Boomers know that there is always something new to learn. Expand your world and investigate the unknown by asking questions and meeting new people. Boomers interest in overseas travel and volunteer work “vacations” (the concept of giving back) stimulates brain cells and keeps aging brains alert and active.

4. Tap into your inner artist
When life seems routine and dull, it’s important to tap into your creative side and come up with something no one has ever tried before. Creativity workshops and art classes ((Tap inyo your inner artist)) can help you add a little spark back into your daily routine.

5. Celebrate life
Boomers know how to party! Follow their lead and remember to celebrate life’s small victories as well as the big wins. Take the time to enjoy the simple pleasures now, reveling in the abundance already surrounding you.
