Do you know the secret to staying young mentally? The answer is very simple.
Always be learning new things.
When I was a little girl, my grandfather told me, "Learn something new every day."
He lived to be 100 and followed his own advice. I've always heeded that advice too. Beware of joining the people who staunchly refuse to try new things and learn new skills. Decline and boredom are at the end of that road.

Sure, she heard TikTok was for kids, but that didn't deter her from learning a way to share something she loves—cooking American comfort food, Texas style. She has 218,000 followers from all over the world.
Don't know Excel? Then learn. Don't know TikTok? Then learn. Don't know how to eat with chopsticks? Then learn. Don't know how to speak Spanish? Then learn. Don't know how to change a flat tire? Then learn.
