Fear of Falling or Getting Hurt
Fear of falling or getting hurt
When aging we can become less sure on foot as we were years ago. Our bones might not be as strong anymore as they were once and injuries can eventually increase . This might create a fear of loosing the ability to do things on ones own. Many falls can be prevented by mindfully taking care of how our home safety is and of course status of our body plays an important role.
Do you face similar challenges?
Long time ago I decided to start yoga with the emphasis of balance, one of the reasons was to make me feel safer when going on a ladder
What about you?

I think I
@Zengrl yes boulders can be very slippery for sure.
@Zengrl
Hi Zengrl, wow, hiking on boulders - surely a challenge but you seem to know what you need to stay safe. IGreat your are considering flexibility training 
@amiablePeace77 I practice Tai Chi and it helps with stable postures and how to move with stability.
@soulsings
I tried Thai Chi some time ago and was surprised how demanding it can be. I believe it is an awesome exercise to engage the whole body and mind.
@amiablePeace77 yes it is a real work out. Qi Gong is less movement but still coordinating breath and movement
moving Mindfully is my form of exercise. it's only when i get my head in the clouds (so to speak) that i am at risk of tripping and falling, running into things or banging my foot. i face a great many challenges in movements, so being mindful is the practice that suits me best.
@amiablePeace77 I might be 55 but am still adventurous. Then again I'm lucky with my genetics and still have a few years left before I start slowing up or falls worrying me.
@scarletLand3247 yay for an adventurous spirit
