<p>New Jersey resident Mildred Baron, who turned 107 in June, is sharing her simple secret to a long and happy life</p>
<p>She said it's all about having a positive mindset</p>
<p>"Be very calm, be peaceful and adopt my saying: 'This too shall pass,' " she explained</p>
<p>For centenarian Mildred Baron, life is all about having a positive mindset.</p>
<p>The Freehold, N.J., resident, who celebrated her 107th birthday in June, is sharing her simple secret to enjoying a long and happy life.</p>
<p>"Be very calm, be peaceful and adopt my saying: 'This too shall pass,' " she told local outlet Asbury Park Press (APP).</p>
<p>Baron said that spirit has carried her through many ups and downs across the decades. Born in 1918 to a Jewish family in Brooklyn, N.Y., she was a toddler when the Prohibition era began in the U.S. She then experienced World War II, the Great Depression and the COVID-19 pandemic.</p>
<p>She recalled watching all of the men she knew get drafted into the war in '40s. "But as I said, that too, passed," she noted.</p>
<p>Baron also remembered standing in breadlines during the Great Depression and her mother feeding her family of five with a single sack of potatoes.</p>

<p>During WWII, Baron found a job in accounting and continued the occupation for 42 years until her retirement.</p>
<p>These days, she enjoys a full life that includes eating spicy foods, creating 3D art and attending afternoon cocktail parties with friends. After joking to APP that beer is her drink of choice, Baron quickly changed her answer to ginger ale.</p>
<p>"Can't go wrong with that," she said.</p>
<p>Baron also relishes time with family, including her 80-year-old daughter, Bonnie Greenstein, two grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.</p>
<p>Greenstein described her mother to APP as "intelligent" and "a talented artist [who] knows what's going on in the world."</p>
<p>"She just gets it," Greenstein told the outlet.</p>
<p>Shortly before her 100th birthday in 2018, Baron moved into the Applewood Village senior living community, where she is "always the life of the party," according to the residence's executive director, Keith Grady. "She's always been a concerned resident for others, just a real great neighbor to have," he said.</p>

<p>As for her hopes for the future, Baron told APP that she would "like to see peace in this world."</p>
<p>"All over," she said. "I don't think I'll see it, but hopefully it'll happen someday."</p>
<p>Baron is one of 2,367 residents in New Jersey who are 100 years old or older as of 2025, according to World Population Review. She is five years younger than the oldest verified living person in the state, 112-year-old Launa Mitchell of Lakewood, according to LongeviQuest.</p>
