About this listen
Let’s say you have retired – willingly or unwillingly – and you now find yourself with a lot of time on your hands that you never had when you were working and raising a family.
After the initial feeling of “being on holiday” has passed, you feel like the days start dragging by, each day the same as the next, your life becoming unstructured and without direction.
This is not unusual for those older adults who stop what they have been doing for years.
The sense of self vanishes and you begin to struggle with who you now are.
But all the sudden extra time can have a silver lining if you are prepared to do what we might call inner work.
In other words, you can discover another side of yourself – or maybe discover your whole self for the first time – and begin to create something brand new in your life.
It all depends on what you think life is - what it appears to be through your eyes or what you want it to be in your mind’s eye.
Our guest this week on The Art 2 Aging is Dr. Paula Petry, PhD, a cognitive psychologist and trained shaman.
She has created a program called Divine Design Activation which is meant to reconnect an individual with their inner self and allow greater clarity of purpose to open up.
