Abstract: | Journal Writing, meditation, and telling our stories by reviewing our lives and harvesting the wisdom we've gained are productive activities for the present. The practice of journal writing is an integral part of accepting the aging process and making the elder years enjoyable and fulfilling. Meditation provides a way to center yourself and is particularly helpful during stressful times. It increases your chances of not worrying and improves your ability to concentrate. Another task of successful age-ing that is fueled by journal writing and meditation is life review and passing on your knowledge to others. These disciplines are explored as tools for inner growth and instruction is provided to help get you started. |
