SilverDisobedience - A Rebellion Against Ageism Dian Griesel

Life changes whether we like it or not. Change is a guaranteed constant, year after year. Changing anything —even those changes we initiate— doesn’t mean the change will be easy.

While we’ve all had those moments when we’d like to prevent change and  freeze time — our work lives change; daily routines change; family and friends move, get sick and die. We’re constantly changing: Aging from the moment we are born. We’re always “getting older.” It’s a fact of life that comes with birth.

Change is always accompanied by a period of discomfort and/or stress — even when it’s a positive change for the better. Growth is actually optional during any experience involving change. We have the option to resist. But it’s only our ignorance that would choose resistance. Ignorance, which sounds kind of a harsh, is really defined as unawareness or unfamiliarity with the experience. When we are ignorant we are choosing to ignore. But, we have the opportunity to choose growth by educating ourselves with new knowledge and information about the latest change. This is how growth flourishes, how we empower ourselves  and how we win the fight of resistance and reduce our stress, improving our physical health and mental wellbeing. Resist or Grow. Since I know our years have made us wiser…how are you growing today?

Sometimes we use the word "just" when describing who we are and what we do. This podcast shares why our accomplishments, no matter big or small, should ever be described as "just" anything. Everything we do is far bigger than just.

It takes patience and compassion to understand another. But isn't this what we all want? To be understood? This podcast explores all sides to understanding our needs and those of others.

Here's the good news...no matter what you're worried about? The worst has already happened...and you handled it!  Don't believe me...listen to this podcast!

Have you ever thought about how we comment about others -- and their appearances -- particularly as we age? Do we say they're "looking good"...with a subtext being "for your age"? This podcast explores.

Have you ever considered that maybe what we think are our disadvantages, could actually be our strengths? This podcast breaks down these possibilities.
