Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Ramona Oliver, on air from July 6th
Ramona is an advocate of positive aging. Rather than accept a mindset of “decline” and “over the hill,” she is passionate about living a life of continuous “Incline” and sharing that adventure with others.
- How I make a difference in the lives of others by serving as an advocate of positive aging.
- Choices Matter: Commit to a meaningful and purposeful life of “Incline” or believe that a new stage – one of steady “decline” – is inevitable.
- I choose to live my life differently from society’s negative connotation that aging is all about “decline” and “over the hill.”
- Thus, I’m living a more authentic life.
- I wish to share my journey of embracing my purpose and the inspiration that got me living a life of continuous “Incline.”
- That involves focusing on a positive attitude/mindset.
- Other areas for possible discussion:
- Why do I think people don’t have the courage to go after dreams after a certain age? 3 Calamitous Cs
- How does someone begin to pivot and shift their mindset if they are stuck in their old ways of thinking? 3 Constructive Cs
- Leaving a legacy and living it now – live a life of continuous “Incline” and serve as a role model for younger generations, thereby leaving a legacy.
I’m the author of INCLINED ELDERS: How to rebrand aging for self and society, a book on positive aging. It answers the question: What does a life of “Incline” look and feel like and how do you best achieve it? : “Aging With an Attitude of Incline.”

• Have a desire to continue living a purposeful life, no matter what your age.

WHY EMBRACE AN ATTITUDE OF INCLINE?
For the first time in history, we are not only living longer, but everyone also has an important choice to make: commit to a meaningful, purposeful life of “Incline” as we get older or believe that a new stage – one of steady “decline” – is inevitable. What is not helping is that in the media and society in general there continues the somewhat negative connotation surrounding the concept of aging. We need to change the mindset for it. Embracing change and looking at life with a keener sense of curiosity will lead to living with increased courage to live life to its fullest.
WHO ARE INCLINED ELDERS?
Women and men who make a conscious choice to ignore society’s negative mindset of decline and being “over-the-hill” as we age who embrace a positive mindset of Inclining: ready, able, and willing to continue living a life of achievement, meaning, and purpose. In the book, over 50 men and women ranging in age from 40 to 100 share their tips and techniques on how to live a life of Incline. Their strategies are supported by scientific evidence from the fields of Positive Psychology, Anthropology, and Sociology. The vibrant role models you will meet in my book – Inclined Elders everyone – are leaving their own, unique legacies of wisdom and inspiration for future generations.
