A focus on cultivating awareness of behaviour through environmental stimulus meant an opportunity to have students of all age ranges. The following PDF titled 3 Steps to Combat Depression and Turn It Into Self-Esteem Using “Personal Growth Techniques” for Aging Well after Retirement would have been stimulated by students in that stage of life. By viewing the examples of my personal goals it suggests this was written 8 plus years ago. This handout is still relevant today, if not more so. When one’s focus of attention abruptly shifts from 9 to 5 there can be a shock from the level of organizational needs to manage work and home to the expansiveness of home, and no-work focus. It seems that this is particularly difficult for those in an academic or professionally focused career with little somatic focus integration. It is quite an adjustment or transition and if not focusing on transforming internal patterns for shifting into a new lifestyle it can create experiences of unwellness, mentally, emotionally and physically.
Here is a downloadable PDF for those seeking a guided exercise to consider aging well in retirement.
