Aging is the Best Thing to Happen to You
07/01/21 • 29 min
Western society has it all wrong. Getting old isn't about fading away quietly and not disturbing anyone in the process. Instead, it's a time to celebrate life's MOST important stage - being an elder. Being an elder means sharing your years of wisdom to enhance lives! This might mean you'll need to shift your own perspective on aging, so stay tuned to learn the REAL truth about life over 50.
Kathleen O'Brien has researched aging for over 12 years and teaches classes on her aging philosophy through the University of Denver's continuing education program.
She began her career as an advertising copywriter at a large agency, working on national accounts (the first woman hired to write radio, TV and print on the Chrysler account). She was a television broadcaster in three major markets and owned her own video production company serving Fortune 100 companies. Kathleen also taught media relations at the University of Michigan and Indiana University graduate schools of business.
She lives in Denver with her husband, a retired physician, and writes regular blogs on her ground-breaking blueprint for aging at growoldbehappy.com

Walking With Ease - a mental practice
Getting older can affect our ability to move around the way we used to. We may feel less steady and this can lead to falling. There is something we can do to prevent this and it's called Mental Practice. Here is one of a series of empowerment meditations designed to retrain the brain. Let me show you how.
NOTE: This meditation has chapter markers. Be sure to listen to the 'Opening Relaxation' and 'Closing Relaxation' every time you do this Mental Practice.
