Through this program, the elderly feel subjective happiness and feel a positive mood, stabilization of mind, and assimilation of their body with nature. This program has a positive effect on the mental well-being of the elderly by fusion of storytelling and physical activity that allows the elderly to feel themselves as they are, recall the past, and design their future. CONTENT The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of mindful storytelling on the mental well-being of the elderly through physical activity. To conduct the study, a four-week mindfulness program targeted six older adults over 60 at a senior welfare center in the city C. Through in-depth interviews on the mental well-being of program participants, this study drew the following conclusions: The elderly felt improved subjective happiness by reflecting on their lives, regarding the present self, and finding a vision for the future. While listening to music, the elderly took a deep breath, recalled pleasant and happy memories, and restored a positive mood. The elderly felt the peace of mind by moving their bodies while listening to quiet music and breathing deeply. The elderly experienced closeness of their body and nature through an appreciation of the relaxing landscape and felt the preciousness of the body. STRUCTURE The subject of this class is the 1st class, here and now and me, the 2nd class, the memory landscape in my heart, the 3rd class, and my hope towards tomorrow. In this study, the results of the mental and psychological well-being of the elderly were analyzed after implementing a program that combines physical activity, storytelling, relaxing landscape appreciation, and breathing. CONCLUSION It suggests that mindful storytelling physical activity is beneficial to the mental well-being of the elderly and is closely related to the future life design of the elderly. In the future, research on developing convergence programs for the elderly will be more critical to increase the vitality and driving force of life for the elderly. In particular, this study is expected to contribute to the search for a variety of new ways to improve the quality of life in old age by merging physical education and humanities to encompass physical activity and mind care.
