When we get older we realize how much age is connected with ideas which are deeply rooted in our society and its beliefs. Many people, especially men, feel useless when they go in pension and cannot find a deeper sense in life. Then they get angry and frustrated - or they close themselves away and die soon.
This is absolutely unnecessary. What we believe, shapes our lives!

So when we women believe that after the menopause we are not ful women anymore, then we wither and may still find some satisfaction with our grandchildren - if we have then - but then comes the void.
If we believe that we, as grown up people, have a task and even a mission in the world, that we need to share our experience, our insights, our learning in order to assist the next generations in their research in how to master life: - well, then we have a meaningful task which allows us to get up in the morning, full of plans and enthusiasm and go to bed in the evening with the feeling to have done a tiny bit towards the fulfillment of our goals.
Getting older doesn't mean at all to become less, we become more in many areas and we can overcome and handle those areas where problems arise. And problems in health arise for ALL AGES, remember that! And they are often a consequence of our mindset.
We will offer a whole series about conscious ageing in November.
Watch here our pre-event with Dr.Connie Corley and her view of getting older as a practitioner in that field for many decades.
