There are more and more and more of us every day, those formerly invisible over 55ers. Soon, there will be too many to ignore. Yet, for many of us who have had exciting, demanding, sometimes all-consuming careers and interests, the next phase of life looks pretty scary. In another age we were expected to “retire” gracefully from our work—passionate though it may have been—and spend our time on the golfcourse, at the bridge game or grandparenting the children of our professionally driven children. For many, this prospect is anything but appealing. What will we do with our time? How will we renew our primary relationship (to a spouse or intimate friend) when we’ve spent so much time apart for so long? How will we recreate the excitement of work, the difference we made, or the satisfaction of raising healthy children while pursuing paid or unpaid passions of our own? For some what lies ahead looks like loneliness and loss, not renewal and creativity!
So, what’s next for us? How do we renew our passion for work, find or enhance our most important relationships, or change ourselves to be healthier, more peaceful, and more engaged with life every day?
This webinar* will combine the latest research about aging with our own experience and discoveries about what we want from the last third of our lives, and what we can create with each other.
In my own research I’ve found seven themes people cite as reasons for changes they want to make in their lives now. These themes are:
• Time
• Money
• Health
• Faith/spirituality/religion
• Passion/goals
• Relationships
• Not sweating the small stuff/Letting go of control OR Being more cautious and careful
Join me to create new life, new excitement, new anticipation of the future rather than the dread that may loom for you now. Create the dreams you’ve harbored for your life and the concrete actions you want to take to achieve those dreams. Live a little (rather than dying a little)!
The class is limited to 10. I will provide the slides ahead of classes for those who may not have access to the internet.
* A webinar is a combination of conference call and slide show viewable on the internet.
