The actress shared four key habits she used to live her 70s:

1. Adopt a positive attitude

According to Seymour, the mental game of aging is just as important as the physical game. He said he approaches each day with a sense of optimism, which he describes as “getting up and not giving up.”

In a recent interview with the Future of Personal Health, Seymour said it was “unnecessary” to become depressed over lost youth. Instead of mourning the past, it embraces the present.
