Worrying about age and aging

Hi I am always usually worrying about age and growing older and I also worry about other people growing older because a lot of things happen when someone gets older and it really stresses me out how can I stop worrying about issues like that and always remember that age is just a number?

I think deep down we all worry about getting older. Growing up and growing older is what shapes us as the people we are today. The next time you worry, just try to stop and think for a moment. Try to outweigh the positives that there are to looking forward to the future. I have worried a lot and now I realise that you can take each moment in life, good or bad, and give it your best.
Try to find a way to relax you and see what works best for you. It might simply be sharing thoughts with friends or family, or finding an activity that you enjoy to escape from the anxiety.
I hope you feel less anxious soon
