Age can be a blessing, or a curse. It depends on your personality and lifestyle. I know many people who are older than I am, but I’m not old, who live a happy life. Even those with illness or who are unfit can enjoy their lives. There are also those who, despite being fit and healthy, never see anything positive. They are always negative, complain constantly, are always in a bad mood, are always depressed, or are always complaining.
You will always struggle if you focus on the negative aspects of your life. This is true at any age. You are already half-way there if you start thinking about how to improve your life. This is because you’re taking responsibility and control. Some of the women I’m thinking about are in their 60s or 70s. They are all obese, in fact they all look enormous. They eat too much sugar, processed food, refined foods, and fat. Then, all of a suddenly, they announce that they just discovered that they are diabetic 2. What a shock. How could they have thought they would get away with such abuse of their bodies? Some of these people may be very large and appear on TV in a program where they request a gastric bypass for free in exchange for appearing in the show with Doctor No. They have bad eating habits that are the cause of their fitness and health problems. We reap what we sowed.
You may feel overwhelmed and complicated when you face a new challenge or experience something new in your life. When you are experiencing a lot of emotions, it can be difficult to identify them. It is even harder to decide how to react. The emotion wheel is a great way to improve your emotional literacy.
It is the same for a person’s finances. If a 70-year-old person has no money, you should ask yourself why. A youngster who just finished school and has only worked for a couple of weeks might feel they can’t save because they only have a few paychecks. They may think they don’t have the chance to put enough money aside to make a real difference. The guy in his 70s, on the other hand, has probably had fifty years’ worth of pay packets. He also has plenty of time to save and pay for a home. What happened?
The emotion wheel is an effective psychological tool that can help people understand and describe complex emotions. The wheel identifies eight fundamental human emotions, as well as tiers of more complex variations.
The outer margins of an emotion wheel are characterized by low-intensity feelings like boredom, distraction, acceptance, etc. As you move towards the center of the wheel, the color deepens and the softer emotions become your fundamental emotions.
It’s one of the great things about getting older. You will enjoy a better retirement if you are responsible with your finances and yourself when you’re younger. Only you can make it happen!
Plan your life in phases. It’s a good idea to plan your life in stages. Women may say they don’t care about qualifications, skills, or college because they want to marry and have children. But men are more likely to be concerned about their long-term future, including relationships, work, finances, health, and living arrangements. Particularly if he will be living or marrying someone, and responsible for their financial well-being and possibly children. This can be expensive. It is almost impossible to do if you don’t have a decent job.
You should also plan what you will do to stay healthy as you age. Will you make your home more comfortable? If necessary, will you get a stairlift to make it easier for you to climb and descend stairs? If necessary, will you install a raised toilet and chairs, handrails, slopes at the front entrance and other items that allow you to remain where you are comfortable? Would you consider moving or downsizing to a smaller home with help available?
Many of the elderly people I know spend a lot of time running to and from the hospital or doctors. Instead, I would rather learn about how to be healthier and prevent illnesses. Or, do something to help you with your current illness. I would rather spend my time doing things that help me than spending a lot of it talking and traveling to other people. In my experience, they are often wrong or misdiagnosed and I find it to be a waste of time to listen to them. It really depends on a lot of factors.
Robert Plutchik Ph.D. developed one of the most popular variations of the emotion wheel. The graphic is in the form of a flower and shows how our feelings are interconnected. He believed that despite the fact that humans can experience over 34,000 different feelings, there were only eight primordial, fundamental emotions that formed the basis of all other emotions in their full range and intensity.
I know a lot of people who complain about their prostate. Lycopene, which is found in tomatoes, has been shown to be helpful. I discovered that all the men I know who have prostrate issues never eat tomatoes. This is not a coincidence. My guy eats a lot of them without any problems and he’s older than most of them.
You can find resources to help you when you are old or getting old, but be careful because some people will take advantage of your situation. Scammers target elderly people because they have more money and are easier to manipulate.
To help us understand and express our emotions, the wheel was griddled to show different emotions, including dyads and constructions. It also showed similarities and differences. He was interested in the biological basis of emotions, and their relationships to one another. This was more important than dismissing them as too mysterious or unclear for humans to understand. He claimed that his psychoevolutionary method revealed universal emotional experiences and that human survival is dependent on our basic emotions.
This is more likely to happen if a person has lost their partner, no longer has friends, and is lonely. They are then vulnerable.
For this reason, beware of cheap psychic readings. Consult only professionals who are qualified and don’t have a hidden agenda.
