Description:
Are you heading towards a pivotal age in your life? Have you made the best decisions preparing for future living? Are you handling the challenges of getting older in a helpful way? Aging Positively will highlight some important tools to embrace the journey of aging. This session will include discussion with participants on how to identify the steps to be considered at critical junctures of life. We know that getting older can bring a level of anxiety and fear so we will discuss how to embark on major changes and plan for the most meaningful phases of life as it relates to physical health, mental health, living arrangements, retirement, finances, and preparing for living well. We will evaluate the impact of choices and decisions that one makes early in life and how to use them as springboards to a successful future. Participants will be able to start thinking about these impending needs by engaging in a couple of activities to spark their mind about the future. They will learn meaningful tips to start building a thoughtful plan from day one. We will discuss how to start living well from today going forward.
Objectives:
- Identify various stages of change as individuals age
- Learn the benefits of early planning for future living
- Highlight barriers to building a positive, meaningful life while aging
- Discuss the positive results of long-term planning
