Jane Barton presents: Aging is ALL About Changing

Most human beings are not fond of change, invited or not. Change disrupts our daily routines, life expectations, and our sense of certainty. Change reminds us that we are not in control! But change is a given in life: the seasons change, society changes, financial markets change, relationships change, and we change. We change as a natural consequence of the aging process - physically, emotionally, psychosocially, and spiritually. So instead of resisting change, how can we engage it? First, we need to understand the process of change, loss, transition, grief, and mourning. Then, we must choose to move through the transition to live beyond it - to embrace a new way of being. Although we cannot control everything that happens in our lives, we always retain the freedom to choose an attitude in response to the change(s). Our choice directly impacts our lived experience and quality of life. Note: This event is intended for adults (ages 18+) based on the topic, material covered, or skills and tools being used.
