Aging is What You Make It
No two people age the same. Some remain vital, active and engaged with each passing year. Others descend into despair, fear and limitation. Why? Because aging is a mental concept. Those that expect to decline they age —will. Those with an optimistic outlook—fare better. This is not an over-simplification. In each case, challenges arise, losses occur, life changes. Yet it’s the person’s mindset that makes the difference.
In this five week workshop attendees identify and deconstruct the negative stereotypes of aging that pervade our youth-obsessed culture, examine their own beliefs and assumptions about aging and reframe what it means to be old.
