Facing fears about aging, and embracing change.

lotus-1205631_1920.jpg

As we age it is very common for people to experience some of the following issues:

  • You are frustrated with health challenges and changes in your body

  • You feel tired, have less energy and feel increasingly invisible as you age

  • You fear getting older and becoming dependent on others

We are all aging, and coping with change.

Our bodies are gradually changing and we are not as resilient as we once were. Most of us, especially Baby Boomers, have been pretty conscientious and have taken care of our health over all these years. However, we find we can’t halt the signs of aging.  Living in a youth-obsessed culture makes this very challenging as we are often exhorted to fight the aging process.   One of the challenges, while we notice that we are aging, is to find the beauty and strength that we do have and to feel good about ourselves as we notice our outer appearance changes.

In our culture, we try to not talk about old age and push it away. Many people fear being old and wonder what that will be like. Perhaps we can be comforted in knowing that there will be many of us in old age. The Baby Boomers comprise by far the largest generation and we will be going into our elder years together.  We have always been resilient and have been on the forefront of innovation and change. There may be a growing sense of community and support among us, as we age together.
