Changes people face by aging
Hello community! 
Aging often means to face changes. It can include physical and social changes, sometimes it’s more difficult to find a new job or to plan a new goal in one's career.
Those that had children could see them less because they now have their own family and could be located far away.
Altogether these things can lead to negative emotions as an effect of the changes.
Although it could be positive to be an active part in these changes, trying to avoid suffering due to the changes could be tiresome.
For example, It could be good to find new hobbies and interests, to socialize with new people or to enjoy things with our partners because they may be less busy with career or in raising children.
A key point could be to look at the time alone as a me-time moment, during which it’s possible to enjoy what one likes and to see the beauty in simple daily things.
I hope everyone finds their way to improve their well-being and emotional state of mind.

What could help you keep enjoying life at best ?

1. What are some emotional effects of aging you are experiencing?
I sometimes see an older woman in the mirror and I don’t like it.I am having a harder time meeting a significant other, too.
2. What could help you keep enjoying life at best ?
Lots of things, most of which are on hold right now or are in the works.My life has been upheaved in the past 7 months.I am living with a family that I was estranged from.We are all moving to Florida.I only decided to join them in the past week.So I am working out how to maintain what is best with me while living with them and in a new state in a new climate.Covid has also put the kibosh on a lot of socializing, so when that is done I will try to socisalize more again.
3. What’s something new you have discovered that you really like doing?
meditating
@purpleTree4652
Hello purpleTree4652!
It seems like you are in a transitional situation, with some goals in hold, also due to pandemia, and some changes that brought you in a new place.
I hope that things will go better along the way, with all aspects of your life. One step at a time.
A big hug!
@LoveMyRotty, Thanks for asking these great questions, Rotty.
What are some emotional effects of aging you are experiencing?
I am not as good at dealing with depression. There is less to fall back, less to look forward to. There are fewer opportunities left for happiness or relief.
@WharfRat, Well said. I experience that, too.
@WharfRat
Hello there WharfRat, I am sorry to know you feel bad.
Do you think you can try to see for different opportunities or new ways to look at things?
Cheers!
@LoveMyRotty
Thank you for this great post!
1. What are some emotional effects of aging you are experiencing?
I find myself less reactive, calmer than when younger but also more vulnerable.
2. What could help you keep enjoying life at best ?
I believe emotional balance is one of the key factors but also keeping mentally, and physically fit as possible is very important
3. What’s something new you have discovered that you really like doing?
As a young person I found meditation hard, today I really enjoy it.
@amiablePeace77
Hello Ami!
Agreed that balance is useful and good to look at.
Nice fact you have approached meditation and now you enjoy it
