IT STARTS IN YOUR MIND
Today, with so much media bombardment, aging gracefully can be
daunting. Aging with joy seems like
flying in the face of conventional wisdom.
And it is! Because conventional
wisdom has fallen behind in the advancements made in science, medicine and
technology in the area of aging. Buried
deep in our subconscious are the remnants of out dated, unadventurous thinking
which prevents most of us from embracing the here-and-now and becoming open to
new possibilities about aging.
Aging celebrates life. It
reflects biological transitions and reflects cultural and societal trends. In keeping with the concept that aging
is the art of joy in action, I have published several poetry books for
the Silver Generation from a personal perspective and dedicated to the last
phase of life: Changing Landscapes of Our Lives; Scenes From a Summer Home, and, Fear, Trembling & Renewal.
My body of work is inspirational and insightful, shedding light about
the wonders of aging and reflecting on how our subconscious mind plays a big
part in how we experience aging. In
"Scenes From a Summer Home," I explore the changing and undefined
boundaries between time and space, and between beginnings and endings. “Fear, Trembling & Renewal," is
about breaking through old paradigms to achieve new insights and perspectives
about aging and life. While my latest
book, “Changing Landscapes of Our Lives,” is a collaborative work and one that
rejoices in the process of life itself.
Regardless of your gender, race, religion, status, and so on - how you perceive,
how you experience aging - begins in your mind.
So I ask you: How do you think about aging?
I suggest pairing, Aging Gracefully with Dignity, Integrity and Spunk Intact:
Aging Defiantly
with
Joseph Murphy’s, The Power of
Your Subconscious Mind.
