Millions of over 50s are experiencing their most satisfying decade - by reconnecting with old friends and reminiscing about times gone by.
A study of 2,000 over 50s found others labelled this time in their lives as being when they have had the most life satisfaction because they finally understand what they wanted out of life (42 per cent) and managed to find time for things they enjoy (40 per cent).
As many as 32 per cent also have more established and meaningful relationships in this decade, with 30 per cent feeling more grounded emotionally.
Lisa Snowdon, who has been appointed Chief Joy Officer for Reserve, by Warner Hotels [https://www.warnerhotels.co.uk/hotels/reserve], took to the streets of Chipping Norton to find out what members of the public have rediscovered in later life that brings them happiness.
Armed with a microphone, the This Morning fashion host quizzed members of the public on the things that bring them contentment as an adult, including the freedom to spend more quality time with loved ones, opportunities to explore new places, and a greater focus on health and wellbeing.
Lisa, who considers herself an ambassador for health, wellbeing and self-acceptance for people in their 50s and beyond, said: “I truly believe that age is just a number, and I’ve spent so many of my recent years rediscovering things that bring me happiness.
“Whether it’s restarting a hobby I had when I was younger, focusing more on my wellbeing and mindfulness or simply laughing till my cheeks hurt with people I love."
