Showing titles in Adulthood & Aging

Some of the most profound growth of our lives can happen in the home stretch, the years after age 60 or so. It's a time when we can finally crystallize the meaning of what we've been and done so far and fully expand into the self we've always intended to be, guided by the voice of the soul. But, says psychologist Charles Garfield, that can only happen if we first loosen the grip of the life we've led so far, the one that's been focused outwardly - on activity, achievement, and the idea of success - and let our souls lead the way.

No one teaches us how to grow old. It just happens. Sometimes quickly, like with an illness or injury. Then, we feel our age quickly. Sometimes slowly, like a change in hair color to shades of gray or shades of bald. Whether quickly or slowly, there are always surprises. Some pleasant, some painful. The joy or sadness of growing old usually rests with our perception and expectations.

"Ho deciso di scrivere questa lettera perché vorrei che ogni vecchio, uomo o donna, fosse consapevole della straordinarietà di aver raggiunto questa fase della vita." L’ultimo capitolo della nostra esistenza, come l’ultimo capitolo di un libro, è spesso anche il più interessante. E per spiegarlo Vittorino Andreoli utilizza una lettera diretta e appassionata. Una lettera che accompagna a prendere consapevolezza del proprio corpo e della propria mente, scoprendo le funzioni e le possibilità della senectus, come la chiamavano elegantemente i latini.

Dale vida a los años y no sólo años a la vida. Piensa en envejecer. ¿Qué imagen te viene a la mente? ¿Una etapa vital dorada y activa en movimiento, disfrutando con tus amigos y entrenando cuerpo y mente? ¿O más bien asocias la palabra envejecimiento a fragilidad, pérdidas o impotencia? Pues has de saber que el envejecimiento orgánico comienza mucho antes de que lo veamos por fuera o lo sintamos por dentro. No es algo que "te sucede" sin remedio de un día para otro. De hecho, puedes optar por rejuvenecer mientras cumples años.

The traditional “check list” of becoming an adult has existed for decades. Sociologists have long identified these markers of adulthood as: completing school, leaving home, establishing a career/becoming financially independent, getting married, and having children. But the signifiers of being in our thirties today are not the same - repeated economic upheaval, rising debt, decreasing marriage rates, fertility treatments, and a more open-minded society have all led to a shifting definition of adulthood.
