Living with Purpose - Part Three
Excerpted from an article on Smart Aging, which was in the Aging in Atlanta section of the
Atlanta Journal Constitution. The emphasis is on how to cope with the changes aging can bring. It should be a positive experience.
This is the third month of giving pointers on "Living with Purpose".
Tara Gruenewald, chair of the department of psychology at California's Crean College of Health and Behavioral Sciences at Chapman University has found the following:
"People who perceive themselves as being useful had a stronger feeling of well-being and were less likely to become disabled or to die during a seven-year follow-up period than those who didn't see themselves that way.
"
Her research highlighted how important it is for older adults to feel they play a valuable role in the lives
of others.
She also shared these observations:
"We often lose as we age into older adulthood is not a desire to contribute meaningfully to others but the opportunity to do so. In midlife we contribute to others partly because it's demanded of us in work and in our social relationships. As we grow older, we have to seek out opportunities to contribute and give to others."
As a reminder:
TTN is a dynamic national community of professional women, 50 and forward, whose changing life situations lead them to seek new connections, opportunities and resources.
Through TTN, women connect with one another to discover new perspectives and opportunities so they can impact themselves and their community.
