SECS 8 Week 6: How do I want to grow old?

Old is a must. We will not continue to be young. Time will keep turning. And without us realizing it, little by little our energy will decrease, our skin will become more wrinkled, and our vision will become blurry.

We can't hold back time to grow old, what we can try is to invest today so we can live a calm and healthy life in old age. Regular exercise, maintaining sleep patterns, and consuming healthy food and drinks are the best investments for a healthy life in the future.

How do you want to age: healthy and energetic or limited and dependent on medication?

I want to age happily and healthily in my old age. The old age that everyone dreams of is an old age that is financially free, free from chemical drugs, and lives in peace with their beloved grandchildren.

However, we can only plan for a more comfortable old age. It all depends on the destiny that has been determined for us. Addiction to drugs in old age is very unpleasant. It also makes the lives of our children and grandchildren uneasy.

What are you doing to reach
the old age you long for?

What we sow, that's what we reap. That's a wise saying that we often hear in everyday life. What we do and consume today will determine how healthy we are ten to twenty years from now.

There are several things that I do to reach the old age that I desire. Are as follows;

1. Consuming healthy food and drink regularly. However, occasionally we may consume junk food.
2. Routinely do light exercise and sweat by doing yoga at home
3. Maintain a calm and positive mind by surrounding yourself with productive people.
4. Have health insurance

Are you afraid of growing old, yes or no?
Justify your answer.

Getting old is a gift given by God. Although many women are afraid of getting old, not me. Admittedly some things are lost with age, freshness, and health starts to decline. However, there are many positive things that can be enjoyed as you get older.

Old age makes a person wiser in taking attitude and wiser in thinking. There's nothing to be afraid of. Our task is to create a happy and loving old age with loved ones. I loved my grandmother in her old age. Besides being beautiful, she is the person who loves me the most.

Do you have any experience to share with us about an older adult who is an example for you to follow?

My grandmother is my role model. In my old age, I learned a lot about how to love and give. My grandmother loves me very much. She spent her old age in our house. In her old age, She was financially free, but not with drugs. She had to take diabetes medication to sustain her life.

For the rest of her life, she is a carefree and happy grandmother. We, the grandchildren, always get fairy tales that are very full of life messages. We call her Chik Mi (father's grandmother). She didn't live well in his old age. But she always advised us to have a healthy lifestyle.
