This study used an Interpretative Phenomenological Approach (IPA) on this qualitative
research through purposive sampling. It also used a validated interview guide with 17
questions about the participant's lived experiences. This was conducted from December 2018
to January 2019. There were 8 participants with ages 65 — 79. They gave their consent to use
the recorder during the interview.
It was revealed that the participants experienced various conflicts, like unfulfilled

living simply and enjoying what they have achieved.
In analyzing the data, the researchers formed two superordinate themes which are
positive Attitudes towards Ageing and Lifestyle with four subthemes including conquered life
challenges, valuing family relationship, constantly participating in community — related activities
and Keeping good health in the lived experiences of oldaged individuals. In perception on
