You will experience decline across many axis of your life as you age. An exercise that helps me accept this is to frame my identify in terms of things I will not lose. - I like to hike, but what I really love is to be in nature and surrounded by trees. - I like being funny and quick-witted, but what I really love is to laugh and see other laugh. - I like to dance, but what I really love is to feel the rhythm of music in my body. Obviously some of this is self-delusion (I'd also like to be young, strong and smart) but I find it helps.
