Knowing the work I do as a Retirement Coach, a friend asked me recently if I had any suggestions for "how not be just another old woman. "It was an interesting question, and I have given much thought to the light of the fact that many mornings I wonder who is that older women looking in the mirror?
Admittedly, I'm looking more and more like my mother (and luckily not like my grandmother, who was the kindest, most wonderful woman the world, but in every picture looks like an ax murderer). But like the neck of my skin starts to drop, crow's feet around my eyes and slide deeper into my cheeks, salt and pepper and my hair is looking more salt than pepper, and, frankly, a bit dull, I feel a terrible lack of connection to the inside of me.
I do not feel I'm getting old. I feel I am better – smarter, wiser and calmer. I'm more enthusiastic, energy, engaged, happy, peaceful, content – Hope in the future, and excited about all the options and opportunities that are available to me. Okay, could probably not be a prima ballerina, even if ever wanted (which I did not), but much more I want to see and do and be before dying.
It saddens me to see such beautiful women (ie in the Academy Awards) become caricatures of themselves with the desire to cling to youth at any cost. Positive aging is not to strengthen and soften the package external by erasing our history, is to deepen and enliven the inner packet through the conclusion of that story, and using everything we've learned, and share our wisdom.
If you are serious about not being just another old lady bites forget, stuffing, and Botoxing it into oblivion, and follow these four rules:
Refusing to accept the view that society is on the hill. So what if conventional wisdom says that aging is the decay and death. Of course, we all went to the same inevitable place (if the dreaded word "D"), but in the hell says we have to stop living before get there? My dream is that as a generation, we will forever change how future generations think, plan, and live in this next stage of the life. Never be equated with aging is on the hill. Older women think they're over the hill, and they are. You do not have to go there.
They refuse to live a traditional retirement of rest and entertainment only. Yes, getting enough rest is important, and leisure is a necessary break from our work, but if we are not working, and we only have a steady diet of leisure, recreation and more free time, how healthy can it be? What's life in this next stage of life – before known as retirement – should be as unique as your fingerprint. The old buy on the traditional retirement model, and does not affect the experience of quickening of purpose and passion. You do not have to live like this.
They refuse to be stored with the "old" people. Now, I have nothing against communities retirement per se, but I think they're just another – more glamorous – storage of us as we age. The connection is essential at all stages of development, but never more so with age. I laugh when I think of my father in law's reaction to move toward an independent life at 83: "There are only old people here!" His interest in life decreased considerably when he left the community where active and continuous interaction with youth. Elderly in contract and are isolated from the interconnection with the "outside world". You do not have to.
Refuse to act their age … whatever that means. A look in the mirror side, not falling into what is expected of you with age. You know, like "Take It Easy", interest, and adventure. Give up looking good, to live life fully. Older women behave like old ones. You do not have to act – just be yourself.
One more thing: Of course, positively stop thinking of yourself as an old woman. It may be, each year, a new and improved version of you with more wisdom, clarity, peace, joy, love and joy.
