Conscious Aging Coaching
Aging is a natural process.
Paying the right kind of attention to the natural processes of aging can make a tremendous difference in how you experience that process. Just because you’re getting older does NOT mean that certain things are inevitable. Like decreased mobility, impaired balance, endurance and lack of strength.
No, you don’t have to go to the gym and work out 7 days a week to get what you need to stay vital, mobile and strong.
We want and need a strong body, sufficient energy and a clear, calm mind. The good news is we can have it all with the right practices, routines, and rituals. And a daily commitment to your overall wellbeing.
Conscious aging is a holistic and proactive perspective towards fulfillment.
Conscious aging means growing older with awareness, intention, and purpose, with a proactive attitude. It involves embracing the aging process as an opportunity for personal growth, self-discovery, and continued development rather than as a period of decline or loss. This includes advance care planning.
End-of-life planning or advance care planning, is an integral part of conscious aging. Conscious aging involves approaching one's later years with mindfulness, intention, and a deep understanding of the aging process. It encompasses various aspects of life, including emotional, psychological, physical, and spiritual well-being. Integrating death planning into conscious aging acknowledges the inevitability of death and seeks to prepare for it in a meaningful and purposeful way.
Death is a natural part of life as well.
We must all face death sooner or later. Doesn’t it make sense to think about how we want to die before we are in the throes of death? There is a great spiritual opportunity in death. What needs and desires do you have? Consciously and lovingly meeting those is important. And it can be helpful to those in attendance to know your wishes and make sure they are honored.
What would you like to do before your death? Who would you like to see? Who would you want to talk about your death with? Would you like to review your life? How would you try and “prepare” for your death? What would be most important to you? Wouldn’t it be easier if you answered these questions now? Suzanne can help.
There is no life without death.
Advance Directives explain how you want medical decisions to be made if you are too ill to communicate .
A health care proxy is a document that names someone you trust to make health decisions if you can’t.
A living will outlines which treatment you want if your life is threatened, including dialysis and breathing machines; resuscitation; tube feeding; and organ and tissue donation after your death.
It takes courage and awareness to die consciously.
We will all die. This isn’t a surprise. What will be important to you during your dying process? What do you want to handle, do or say before you die? How do you want to be supported? What opportunities does your soul have in your death process? What options do you have?
Taking the time now to answer these questions and make some plans can be a great relief when that time comes. How valuable would it be to know that things will be the way you wish during this most pivotal opportunity and possibility to complete this life?
Dying can be a conscious, grace filled experience.
