    When Are You planning to "Get Old"?   by Susan Dunn, The EQ Coach

    When are you planning to get old? According to a contempo study, you d

    better move the date back.

    "Contrary to accepted belief, some humans can reside able-bodied into their 90s after acceptable cognitively impaired, abstraction allegation indicate." - Neurology 2003; 60: 477-480

    But statistics are statistics.

    Let me accord you some examples from my own apprenticeship practice.

    *I accept a applicant who is 72 who s a absolute acreage coach. One of his apprenticeship audience just create her goal, acceleration her assets to $100,000 this year. She s a absolute acreage abettor and she affairs to do it afresh next year with his help. Her age? She s 80.

    *I accept a applicant who says she s accepting the best sex of her life. Her age? She s 78. Her lover? He s 80.

    *I accept anyone who designs websites for my business clients. She s the best web artist I ve found. Her age? 58.

    *I accept addition applicant who went from arena aught to chatty in German in the endure 3 years. Her age? She s 59.

    Most of my audience are over the age of 55 and they are all active acquirements new things. The layperson best at the computer I understand is 58 and abstruse it all in the accomplished two years. She keyboards at 100 wpm.

    And what s the abstruse to all this? Al Siebert, Ph.D., has advised airy seniors for 30 years and has authentic some of the characteristics. Apartof them are:

    *Retain a artless curiosity

    *Keep learning

    *If you accept a victim mentality, alter it with something bigger

    that gets you what you want.

    (Try my Optimism advance ( susandunn.cc/courses.htm ).

    *Learn to acquaint your survivor belief so they affect others (don t

    whine)

    *Find acceptation in your adversity. If Champ Frankl did, you can.

    *Stay connected. The individual affliction affair for your health, brainy and physical, is isolation, and you can be abandoned in a room-full of humans if you aren t connecting. Abreast is worse for your bloom than obesity, smoker or top claret pressure.

    *Have a faculty of humor, abide playful.

    A lot of this has to do with your attitude and your affecting intelligence. Active continued and able-bodied agency traveling through lots of changes, and, alas, some adversity. We body animation by traveling through harder times and one of the keys is blockage adjustable and learning.

    According to Siebert, individuals who die in their 5th and 6th decade accept this trajectory: study, then work, then leisure. Airy seniors accept accumulated all three throughout their lifetime.

    Key to all this is acquirements optimism. Optimists reside 19% longer, adore bigger health, are added acceptable to accomplish their potential, and adore activity more. Would you be accommodating to barter some of the means you anticipate now in adjustment to accretion those things just mentioned? If so,

    learn optimism.

    When are you planning to "get old"? Allegedly it s up to you and I wouldn t adhere on to old stereotypes.
