For the elderly
I am 82 years old. I would like some sugestions for people of my age although I do your kitchen exercises, breathing but not the mindset which I will incorporate. For instance, I cannot run or walk very far with 2 knee replacements and ‘scaffolding’ for 2 fracturd femurs due to accidents!
Journalling
I have, at time of great sadness and anger with close members of my family including my husband, written down how I was feeling and how I felt about them. The process was helpful but I find it very difficult to revisit and read the pages and I would never want any of those concerned to read them either. So as I have now reached my 60’s , I wonder is after writing such an intense and potentially hurtful record, I should consider destroying them to protect those after I have gone?
Journalling
Hi Rangan, Love the podcast - been listening to it since the start... I want to ask about Journalling. I have started Journalling first thing in the morning literally before I get out of bed - I set the alarm 30 minutes earlier and write 3 full pages of A4 on a 'stream of consciousness' basis. I understand that this is the best time to be creative and to work through issues which might be bothering me. I have been doing this now for a month. How should I feel? I am not sure I feel any benefit from this. I know you are an advocate of journalling, as are others (also listen to RichRoll and know he is a fan). Should i expect some sort of thunderbolt or are the effects more subtle. I have been dealing with shifts in my life over the last couple of years... retired with loads of plans after 35 years of non-stop work 6 days before the first lockdown; parents getting very old and infirm very quickly it seems, trying to start out as an artist in a small way. I am hoping journalling may help me with finding some sort of balance and dealing with all the changes without getting overwhelmed. Not expecting a direct answer, just generally relating to journalling would be really useful. Thank you and take care Linda
