[quote=Anonymous]I think one of the things that switches up as we get older is that when younger, we are trying to accumulate things, and as we get older, we are trying to deal with the loss of some of that accumulation. It's very different. For instance, when young, we might be upset that we didn't get that job, or the guy/gal did not work out as a life partner, etc. Just can't get rid of those last 5 lbs. When we are older, it's more of about loss. The job we had that has gone sour. The marriage that didn't work. The parent that dies. The body that doesn't work as well, and that 25 lbs that won't go away, and look at that aging face. And the realization that the lifespan is finite and one is on the second half of it. It's harder, psychologically, to lose what you have, than to not get something you wanted to have. So it can create a funk that requires a different type of approach than was needed in our younger years. Some good suggestions on this thread.[/quote]
