Episode 111 Enjoy Your Life at Every Age

Age like time can’t be controlled by the mere mortals that we are.  We can reminisce about our days as young adults finding our way in the world, how much fun we had, and how supple our bodies were, but there is no way to go back.

Therefore, we might as well make every effort to enjoy our lives at every age.

Get excited about what you can look forward to.  In my thirties and forties, I was driven to raise well-adjusted children and be successful in my career.  I don’t regret that phase my life.  What about you?  What were you doing in your thirties and forties?

Tell the truth, whatever your quality of life then would you really want to repeat it now?

I don’t.  It’s because of what I experienced then that I can enjoy what I’m doing now.   In my sixties, I have so many choices, that every day is a new adventure!

How do you feel about someday turning sixty, seventy, or eighty? Perhaps you struggle to imagine yourself growing older. Maybe you’re not looking forward to your golden years. Aging, for many, includes becoming inactive and experiencing failing health.  Yes, you may have some health issues however, you can maintain your zest for living and enjoy a positive existence, if you wish.

We hear a lot these days about the great resignation, where many people are leaving their jobs with no urgent need of replacing them.  As well as many others are taking early retirement and traipsing off on wild adventures.

Do you wonder like I do how can they do that?  Surely there aren’t that many Trust Fund Babies in our towns.  Of course not.

Wouldn’t it be great to have enough money to live your life to its fullest?

With a little bit of focus you can have enough money, if you’re willing to plan and stick to a budget. A well-planned budget enables you to make financial decisions that support your happiness and peace of mind.

Episode 109 Promoting the Power of Poetry

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 7:52 — 10.8MB) | Embed

Subscribe: RSS | More

Since 1996 April has been designated as National Poetry Month by the Academy of American Poets.

Beyond rhythmic verses, metaphors, and sometimes flowery language, poetry can be beneficial in at least two ways.  One is that poetry can help us improve our critical thinking skills as we try to understand what the author is telling us.  Poetry encourages us to think of things from different points of view similar to many brain gym exercises that are designed to improve brain functions.  Poetry is a fun way to keep our brains sharp.

A second way that poetry can be beneficial for you is its healing powers.  Whether you are writing poetry yourself, reading or listening to someone else’s work, poetry can help us channel our emotions to get through stressful, traumatic or depressive situations.

  1. You can celebrate National Poetry Month by writing a poem or two of your own, or
  2. You can attend a poetry event at your local library or neighborhood café. You may even try organizing one for friends, or
  3. Consider dusting off the books on your bookshelf and reading a few poems.

You may remember our former guests, Pat Stanford and Bobby Blackmon who are authors of books that contain poetry.  In honor of National Poetry Month, we will share some of their works with you.  For more information about Pat Standford go to: www.patstandford.com.  For information about Bobby Blackmon go to wcblackmon.com.

Yes, this episode is about the dreaded E-word, exercise.  If it helps for you to think of it as a friendlier M-word, movement then please make your plan, for moving about your health, feelings or mood versus losing weight or how you look.  When your movement plan is about taking care of your body because you love your body and you want to maintain your body as well as you can for as long as you can then you’re doing it out of love.  The real love for yourself…

Why Raise Your Expectations of Yourself?

If you’re perfectly happy with your current situation in life, you might be wondering why you would want to raise your expectations. Well, when you expect more, you will drive yourself to achieve more.

Think about a time when you’ve expected nothing out of a situation. Chances are you weren’t unhappy with the results because you didn’t really care, but at the same time you probably weren’t driven and fulfilled either.

While having greater expectations opens you up and makes you more vulnerable to failure, you can also have big rewards too. It’s worth it in the end because a negative experience is still an experience that you can learn from. A positive experience may provide you with one of those life-defining moments that make you happy to be alive.

Episode 104 Open Your Mind to Optimism

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 10:39 — 14.6MB) | Embed

Subscribe: RSS | More

How do you see your life?  Do you see yourself as a glass-half full person or a glass half empty person?

You’re a glass half full person if you view life positively and you seem to be upbeat all the time. Even if some people claim to be annoyed by your constant cheerfulness, they are indeed glad to be around you so they can feed off your joy.

You are a glass half empty person if negativity resides in your mind.  Regardless of the situation, you will see the negatives.  You will point out everything that went wrong and can continue to go wrong.  Other people avoid you so you are frequently lonely.

Good news! Your outlook on life does not have to be categorized into one of two personality types such as the glass half full or the glass half empty type.  You can easily improve your optimism level, open your mind, and have a happy life.

Being optimistic might seem like a large task, but there are simple things you can do to improve your outlook. If you practice each day, you’ll be doing yourself a great favor, since your mind is the very foundation for achieving success and fulfillment.
