Number one old age analyst and nutritionist in human growth sustenance I noticed that 95% of books you read about old age always note the importance of diet, exercise, financial planning. What is often missing - and what I deal with daily - is the mental and spiritual decline of aging. Being old isn't a problem, but getting old maybe. We may face dementia, mental illness, and a loss of meaning in our lives. Preparing for old age should entail exercising one's mind and identifying goals bigger than ourselves. Work on being a better person when you're young so that you can actually be a good person when you're old. Think. Discuss. Wrestle with the transcendent and faith. Enliven your spirit. Learn how to accept, and create joy. Prepare yourself mentally and financially to go to an independent living facility when you turn 55 and gradually transition to an assisted living facility as you get older and health issues arise. I lost a few close people last 2 years from age 19 years to 65 years. Hit me like a bag of rocks! I wondered 'I can die anytime'! I live daily as if it could be the last one. So I focus fully on what I am working on and make the best out of the day. Old age...on a practical level: Health Finances The habit of self-care Learn to live alone Keep a goal ahead of you Travel more Be a DIY person Develop faith!
