UNDERSTANDING, COHABITING AND COEXISTING WITH AGING ....

 

Turning 75 or 80 doesn't have to mean surrendering to decline. It can be a rich, conscious, free, and joyful stage of life.

This short study covers multiple areas: physical health, psychological aspects, social relationships, how to deal with time, self-acceptance, and the balance between what a person can do and what they should perhaps give up, among others.

Some basic facts and ideas:
• Redefining Expectations: What does it mean to “live well” through the seventies and after age 80? It doesn’t have to mean staying as active as you were before, but rather finding something that gives your life new meaning.
• Accepting change: Accepting physical limitations, losses (friends, energy, memories), and focusing on what is still possible. Learn to appreciate and value solitude, it's a rich time with the self, and not a moment of boredom, spending some hours alone reduces stress and boosts well being. 

Alone but not lonely, allows for deep self-reflection, fosters creativity, and promotes mental and emotional restoration. 

• Developing social ties: staying in touch with relatives and close friends, and participating in the lives of others; isolation increases difficulties, even psychological ones. 

Sexual desire is an essential part of life. It is the driving force behind all human behavior. It shouldn't be suppressed with old age, think and act positively with your sensual desires and keep living the timelessness of human desire. 

• Maintain curiosity and joy: Even at an advanced age, it is important to continue to learn, observe, love, and laugh — these are very valuable mental resources.
• Dignity in vulnerability: not rejecting vulnerability, but recognizing it as a part of life—being open, asking for help when needed, and accepting what cannot be changed.

Conclusion

This blog page wants to encourage readers to break down the invisible “wall” imposed by age in your seventies and after eighty—a wall of fears, prejudices, and early compromises.
The point is that even after this age, there is still so much to live, feel, and give.
This short essay is a moral, psychological, and even philosophical guide—it calls for a rethinking of the meaning of aging, not as a burden or an end, but as a stage worthy of appreciation and celebration.

Aging is a natural and universal process that involves the gradual decline of physical, mental, and social functions over time. It is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that affects all living organism, including humans. 

As always, my profound many thanks to all, young, not too young and older.
