Adventurous Aging

Dying people, especially if they are of an advanced age, are typically honest about what they wish they had done more of, or less of, during their life. This can be valuable information for seniors who are considering their priorities for living their best life yet.

Here is an article that spells out the how-to-live priorities of 30 dying people: “‘My life will be short. So on the days I can, I really live’: 30 dying people explain what really matters. Facing death, these people found a clarity about how to live,” By Philippa Kelly, The Guardian, January 27, 2024 https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/jan/27/advice-from-30-people-who-really-started-living-when-they-found-out-they-were-dying?utm_source=pocket-newtab-en-us

This approach of setting priorities of what a senior really wants to do with their final life chapter is part of my Adventurous Aging coaching method for post-60 people who want a healthy, passionate, purposeful and fulfilling mindset and lifestyle.

If you are a senior facing the last chapter of your life, how do you get the most out of it? Treat it as sacred and make it an adventure! “To understand the sacredness of your time and to realize the power that lies in the decisions you make, it helps to learn from those who have gone before you, from those who have not made the right decisions and have spent their deathbed days in the anguish and pain of regret.” Regrets of the dying include these five wishes:

1. I had lived a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me
2. I had not worked so hard
3. I had the courage to express my feelings
4. I had stayed in touch with my friends
5. I had allowed myself to be happier
