Flourish As You Age
BRAIN HEALTH
MENTAL MANAGEMENT
A GOOD DEATH
Let's not just fade away; let's FLOURISH as we age!
The MINDRAMP Podcasts focus on three key components that have been shown to contribute to flourishing in the later years of your life. You will find mini-series of episodes that explore each component.
1) Keeping your brain and body healthy - see The Roots of Brain Health
2) Managing your mental states - see Flourishing
3) Planning the kind of death you want to have - (coming 10/1/24))
You will also find the occasional episodes that focus social concerns that I feel have an impact on our well-being, for example "Elections."
Flourish As You Age
MIND - Equanimity is the key to aging well.
Comments? Send me a text message.
In this reading of an article I wrote for 3rd Act Magazine I suggest that equanimity is a key to aging well. I draw a distinction between what might be called standard equanimity - remaining even-tempered in the face of both pleasure and pain - and what I'm calling "transcendent equanimity."
Transcendent equanimity is a state of mind that not only accepts the mysteries of life, it celebrates them.
