Your connection to positive aging. | |
As we kick off a new year of educational events, we are pleased to share highlights and key take-aways from last season's symposiums. ‘Compassion Through Comedy' was an interactive event focused on the positive effect shared laughter has on people living with Alzheimer’s disease and other cognitive challenges. Dani Klein Modisett, Founder and Chief Executive Officer for Laughter On Call partnered with Comedian and Actor Nikki Ghisel to share how levity can enhance connection, support self-care, and promote healing and wellness. The sessions provided information and techniques for caregivers and professionals working in aging services. One of the helpful techniques the speakers shared with the participants is called BHILATYS, an acronym, developed to help strengthen the caregiver core. Keep the below tips in mind if you are caring for a loved one with cognitive challenges. | |

I recently read a Forbes Health article featuring 10 Pieces of Expert Advice on Aging Well. The piece of advice that stuck with me the most was, keep doing the things that work for you. To help you maintain a healthy, happy, and rewarding life, the author shared that it is important to continue taking care of your body, develop and maintain relationships that matter, continue to learn and be intellectually challenged, and contribute to the world around you. But most importantly, wake up every morning looking forward to the day ahead!
