Time to un-WINE!

Just like any event, when you attend a wine tasting you will likely find an amazing friend or two who shares the same passions and interests as you do. And what better way to celebrate this new friendship but through a glass of fine wine, right then and there, in that wine tasting event. It would be hard to overestimate the social and cultural impact of wine. For centuries, wine has been a staple of social gatherings, religious ceremonies, and everyday meals. It has also been a source of pleasure, relaxation, and inspiration. So take time to check out some local wineries and learn about what goes into the bottle before you pop the cork! You will appreciate not only the taste, but the entire process in which it was made.

The Human- Pet Connection

Pets, especially dogs and cats, can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, ease loneliness, encourage exercise and playfulness, and even improve your cardiovascular health. Caring for an animal can help children grow up more secure and active. Pets also provide valuable companionship for older adults. Perhaps most importantly, though, a pet can add real joy and unconditional love to your life. So as you strive to THRIVE consider there is always room in your circle for “human’s” best friend!

Outdoor Recreation

Outdoor recreation is enjoyable for men, women and children of all ages. Performing physical exercise while outdoors provides a way to get outside and enjoy your natural surroundings. Aside from breathing fresh air and discovering nature's many wonders, the outdoors provides various activities to keep you wanting to go back outside for more. Better self-esteem often occurs from consistent recreation, partially due to a decrease in stress. Breathing fresh air in a natural and serene environment can also help you relax and reduce anxiety. So seize the day and work your way outside to THRIVE!

Keep Sharp!

Having close relationships with others you can count on is important to a happy, healthy life, and may help you live longer. It’s important for brain health, too, as research suggests its opposite, loneliness, seems to be a factor in developing Alzheimer’s. Gupta suggests combining socializing with other activities designed to get you moving or learning. That could mean taking a walk or class with a friend, joining a team sport, or volunteering. Socializing with more diverse people or people of different generations can also be a plus. And staying connected virtually, while less than ideal, may be helpful when one lives in a remote place without many social supports.
So let’s strive to THRIVE enjoying the added benefit of keeping sharp!

Travel Outside the Box

When you travel, you not only leave your home town, you also leave your comfort zone. While that can be scary, it provides numerous growth opportunities. When you're in a land filled with foreign language and currency, exotic cuisine, and unexplored cities, you must move past your fear and immerse yourself into the unfamiliar. Use your curiosity to guide your adventures. Allow your grit to help you persevere through any travel mishaps. And know that with a positive attitude, even getting lost in a strange place means you'll discover people and things you may have otherwise missed, and later be grateful for the rich experience.
Because by learning about other people, places, and cultures, you'll also learn about yourself. So make a plan to get outside your comfort zone and strive to THRIV!

Your Second Act….

A second career can provide opportunities whether you are worried about outliving your retirement savings, or you want to stay productive and do something meaningful later in life. After decades in the workforce, many people have the knowledge, energy, talent and time to devote to a new career that can provide both a paycheck and a purpose.
The best time to start planning your second career is before you retire; that is, while you are still working in your "first" career. This will give you the time you need to plan, research and make important decisions regarding your second act. Being proactive about the process, rather than expecting things to just "fall in place," can help ensure a productive and fulfilling second career.

The Cooking Together Connection

Food is one of the most powerful connective tools we have. We build our bonds with friends and family over dinners, we go to restaurants on dates, we prepare food for others and with others. Even when we’re cooking and eating alone, food still connects us to the world. Whether it’s a particular meal that reminds us of home comforts, or simply sustenance to get us through the day, food is never meaningless.
Like music or literature, food is a shared cultural product, even if it’s often overlooked as such. So plan a meal with family or friends, food is the glue that gets our creative juices flowing!

Constant Collaboration

At about 9 p.m., Thomas Edison would order in food for everyone from a local tavern. For an hour or so, the assembled crew would relax, tell stories, sing songs, and even play music together, before heading back to work until the wee hours of the morning. They connected socially, and created a deeper understanding of each other as people and not just workers. This process of midnight lunch transformed employees into colleagues. It served as the foundation for collaboration in all of Edison’s labs. Through midnight lunch, we see the importance of activities that encourage employees to come together in ways that link work with their social lives. For Edison, midnight lunch was crucially important… creating an environment in which collaboration could thrive. It became a powerful link to Edison’s use of small teams as a driver of innovation success. Even into his late 70’s, Edison reached out to his team for connection most of the time not for invention. This is how he “THRIVed”!

Travel with Objective

To travel is to make a journey; but what would a journey be, if the traveler doesn’t grow through it? Wouldn’t that equal just moving from one place to the other, without really gathering a thing? It certainly would. And when we are talking about traveling to explore architecture plays a great part of the journey. The Eiffel Tower, a wrought-iron structure erected in Paris for the World Exhibition of 1889. With a height of almost 1000 feet, it was the tallest man-made structure for many years. It’s beauty is world renowned and one of the most recognizable structures on the planet. “La Dame De Fer” a site that must be seen in person!

Laugh to Live!

As children, we used to laugh hundreds of times a day, but as adults, life tends to be more serious and laughter more infrequent. But by seeking out more opportunities for humor and laughter, you can improve your emotional health, strengthen your relationships, find greater happiness—and even add years to your life. So get started today, practice makes perfect just don’t be so serious!

07/19/2023

Reading is FUNdamental!

Avid readers understand the magic that's available at any local library, but older adults who don't read often can benefit from regular library visits. Heading to the local library offers many perks for older adults beyond enjoying the latest fiction book or learning something new. Older adults can interact with a variety of people during every visit, chat with librarians to get recommendations for reading material that matches their interests or strike up a conversation with another library patron. Various groups and meetings give older patrons a chance to connect with others who have similar interests. For example, they might join a book club organized by the library. Maintaining social connections can help support an older adult's mood and cognitive health and picking up some knowledge along the way is the icing in the cake!

07/18/2023

Get Up and Get Out!

In all honesty, Mother Nature may find the indoor world pretty tough to compete with sometimes, especially in the dog days of Summer. After all, she can’t offer flat-screen TVs, air conditioning, or WiFi but she might potentially offer something even more important: improved health, by way of a stronger immune system, better sleep, and reduced stress. Spending time outdoors can boost physical and mental health in a range of ways and you don’t have to spend hours at a time outside before those benefits kick in, either. So get up and get out, put a plan in place and strive to THRIVE! Making a habit of spending regular time outdoors, especially in nature, can do a lot to boost physical and emotional wellness which can also go a long way toward strengthening your bond with the planet and for that matter Mother Nature herself!

Pursuit of Happiness…

Happiness blossoms for different individuals at different ages. But certain influences may be stronger at specific life stages, such as freedom in childhood, socializing in adolescence, and professional goals in adulthood. No matter the life stage, though, there are always ways to find greater happiness. In “The Good Life”, Robert Waldinger and Marc Schulz give us a great insight into some of the practice towards the never-ending pursuit of happiness.
Everyone loves a happy ending, especially in the story of their own life. Start writing that ending today!

Your never too old to dance!

The song plays, and your toe taps, the crowd chants and your body sways. The band shreds and your head bobs to the beat. “You” don’t decide to tap, sway, or nod the movement happens, and you notice. Why? Research suggests these small, subconscious movements hold keys to your mental and physical health. As we age we may feel that we lose this inherent reaction but we never do it is just lying within us ready to be re-kindled. So get on the floor or in the pit and enjoy this fantastic mind-body connection and THRIVe!

“Food- The Common Ingredient”

Food brings people together and cooking at home is a great way to unite family and friends over the dining table. Everyone loves a home-cooked meal—even moody teenagers or picky eaters! And if you live alone, that doesn’t mean you have to cook or eat alone. Sharing meals with others is a great way to expand your social network. Getting appreciative feedback on a meal you’ve prepared for someone can bring a real boost to your self-esteem, too. Make mealtimes a social experience, the simple act of talking to a friend or loved over the dinner table can play a big role in relieving stress and boosting mood. So catch up with family, get back in touch with friends and stay up to date with each other’s daily lives. It’s time to THRIVe!

07/11/2023

Eat the Rainbow!

Instead of painting a rainbow, how about eating a rainbow of colors? Red, orange, yellow, green, white, blue and purple. Each of these colors has health benefits, including:

Improved vision and decreased inflammation. A reduced risk of chronic diseases, including cancer, heart disease and diabetes and a strengthened immune system. These benefits are due to the phytochemicals that occur naturally within these foods. Phytochemicals also give foods their distinct aroma and taste. While each color provides certain benefits, when paired with other colors, the effects on your health are astonishing. So put a plan in place incorporating some new colors to your diet enabling you to THRIVe!

07/10/2023

State of the Art…

We all know to eat right, exercise, and get a good night’s sleep to stay healthy. But can flexing our creative muscles help us THRIVE as we age? Ongoing research looking at singing group programs, theater training, and visual arts for older adults suggest that participating in the arts may improve the health, well-being, and improve cognitive function as we age.
So get active in the Arts, there is something for all of us!

“Take time to make time”

One of the gifts of getting older is that we often have more time each day to ponder the mysteries of life and reflect on everything we've done so far. We get to review our achievements as well as our setbacks while beginning to recognize a meaningful narrative that ties it all together. We may even start to see deeper connections between our life and the lives of people from past or future generations. In fact, one major aspect of the spirituality of aging is that, upon extra reflection, our perspective may shift in surprisingly profound and positive ways. Make the time to take the time!

07/07/2023

“Not all those who wander are lost”

Discovering unfamiliar places can often be intimidating, but it’s also an adventure that offers many benefits. Whether you venture abroad or plan a cozy, local staycation, traveling gives you the opportunity to step away from your busy schedule to clear your mind and center yourself. Learning about new places can improve your physical and mental wellbeing, serve as an act of self-care, enhance your creativity and much more. So get out and THRIVE, not just survive!!

Connect for Success

Do you have key people in your life that influence your success? You know, those like-minded people who inspire you to be, do, or have more in your life and career, do you have those? If you answered no, why is that? Because the reality is, if you go and talk to any highly successful person, you’ll likely find that they’ve got several people like that in their lives. Connection breeds confidence, and confidence breeds results. Therefore, your ability to surround yourself with people who motivate, inspire, and hold you accountable is important to your success!

07/03/2023

Positive Mindset!

Do you tend to see the positive, even in trying situations or do you immediately assume the worst and focus on the negative? You know the type: some people manage to remain upbeat even during the most trying times. You probably think "How do they do it?" But a better question to ask is "Can I do it, too?" Science continues to find that people with an optimistic outlook enjoy healthier and longer lives. The power of optimism is not just having a sunny disposition, but applying this mindset to make positive change. In Becca Levy’s book, “Breaking The Age Code”, Levy shows how age beliefs shape all aspects of our lives. She also presents a variety of fascinating people who have benefited from positive age beliefs as well as an entire town that has flourished with these beliefs. So let’s make the change and strive to THRIVE by putting a positive spin on how we view life!

Did you know?

Opening in 1898, the Steel Pier was one of the most popular venues in the United States for the first seven decades of the twentieth century, featuring concerts, exhibits and an amusement park. It was referred to as the Showplace of the Nation and included such acts as the High Diving Horse, Rex the Wonder Dog, the Human Cannonball, a water-skiing canine in the 1930s, the diving bell, Musicians including Frank Sinatra, Al Jolson, Diana Ross and The Supremes and others, played week-long engagements during the summer in 1965, 1966, and 1967, to sold-out business in the Steel Pier's. One of Atlantic City crown jewels, it is a can’t miss for a visit to the boardwalk learning a bit of history in addition to having a great time!

Get in Rhythm…

Your circadian rhythm is your body’s natural way of keeping to its 24-hour body clock, helping your body operate on a healthy sleep-wake schedule. Living a healthy, active lifestyle that promotes proper rest will help you maintain this important component of your body. Your eyes need light to help set your body’s internal clock. Early morning sunlight in particular seems to help people get to sleep at night. This may be more important as you age because your eyes are less able to take in light, and you’re more likely to have problems going to sleep. So take the quiet time and embrace the early light, it will serve as a reset button for you to get on track for a better nights sleep.

A never ending aging adventure…

Think back to when you were a child how many times did you fantasize about exploring? We all know the allure of exploring, the thrill of discovery and novelty. But exploring isn’t just in nature preserves. If you want to see your city differently, there’s just as much mystery inside its limits as out. Don’t be shy about squeezing through the cracks to discover the town’s hidden secrets. You’ll learn that exploring isn’t only discovering new places, it’s also new things about familiar places. The key is to start looking at how everything fits (and doesn’t fit) together. Once you observe the lay of the land, you’ll have a new perspective on how beautiful and intriguing history can be!

A Family Affair

Spending time together is one of the greatest gifts families can give to one another. Not only does sharing quality time strengthen and build family bonds, but it also provides a sense of belonging and security for everyone in the family. Research has shown that when families enjoy activities together, children not only learn important social skills but also have higher self-esteem. Strong family bonds also encourage better behavior in children, improve academic performance, strengthen parent child communication, and teach your child how to be a good friend. So make the effort, and re-connect!

06/23/2023

Social Fitness

Our social health and wellness is measured by the relationships and connections we have to others in the world around us. Most mammals (and other animals) are inherently social creatures, and social relationships help us survive and thrive in today’s society.
It’s not just about the quantity friends you have but more about the deeper quality connections.

06/21/2023

Stay connected and THRIVE!

Many people enjoy family gatherings, getting together with friends, and participating in special religious, community, and workplace activities. Such occasions are an opportunity to check in with each other, exchange ideas, and perhaps lend some social support to each other. Social connections like these not only give us pleasure, they also influence our long-term health in ways every bit as powerful as adequate sleep, a good diet, and not smoking. Dozens of studies have shown that people who have social support from family, friends, and their community are happier, have fewer health problems, and live longer.

06/19/2023

No matter what age you are, this truly sums up the simplicity of such a complex situation. As we age our experiences should frame a path to finding a path for those to follow.

How do I Age Well?

An unprecedented number of Americans will soon be 55 or older, with a longer life expectancy than any previous generation. The question is on the minds of older adults is "How do I age well?" Nancy Schlossberg summed it up pretty well in her book “Too Young To Be Old”. Aging is a love-hate relationship in an order to succeed the challenges ahead in your next chapter, you have to embrace all that comes with growing older. Comfort becomes an enemy and change needs to be embraced as we venture forward seeking to THRIVE not just survive our days ahead!

06/12/2023

Capacity to Create Community

Our capacity to destroy one another is matched by our capacity to heal one another. Restoring relationships and community is central to restoring well-being; giving us the power to change ourselves and others by communicating our experiences, helping us to define what we know, and finding a common sense of meaning. In this we can change social conditions creating environments in which children and adults can feel safe and where they can thrive.

Engaging in physical activities like yoga, swimming, or walking keeps our bodies active and agile, promoting overall well-being. Delving into creative pursuits such as painting, writing, or playing a musical instrument sparks our imagination and fosters self-expression.

In the journey of life, the pursuit of knowledge knows no bounds, and as we age, the importance of continuous learning becomes even more apparent. Learning fuels our growth, expands our horizons, and empowers us to thrive in every stage of life. It keeps our minds sharp, curiosity alive, and intellect engaged. Lifelong learning opens doors to new perspectives, skills, and passions, nurturing a sense of purpose and fulfillment. It allows us to adapt to a changing world, embrace new technologies, and stay relevant in an ever-evolving society. By fostering a love for learning, we embrace the wisdom that comes with age, sharing our knowledge and experiences with others. So let us embark on this beautiful journey of eternal growth, never ceasing to explore, discover, and learn.

06/06/2023

Flexible Adaptability

As we age, maintaining flexibility becomes increasingly essential in our journey towards graceful living. Just as a supple branch bends with the wind, we too must cultivate the ability to adapt and embrace change. Flexibility is not merely a physical attribute; it extends to our mindset and approach to life. By staying open to new ideas, experiences, and possibilities, we unlock the door to continuous growth and fulfillment. This adaptability allows us to navigate the twists and turns of life with resilience and grace. It enables us to adjust our sails, seize opportunities, and overcome challenges that come our way. Whether it's embracing new technologies, exploring unfamiliar paths, or forming new connections, being adaptive empowers us to thrive in the ever-evolving world. So let us embrace the beauty of adaptability and nurture a flexible spirit that lights our path to a vibrant and fulfilling life.

Social Capital Counts

As we journey through the tapestry of life, solid social connections hold the key to thriving in the next chapter of life. They provide the foundation for a fulfilling and enriched existence, allowing us to blossom in the truest sense. These connections nurture our souls, granting us a sense of belonging, purpose, and support. They remind us that we are not alone in this beautiful journey, and together, we can conquer any obstacle.

They cultivate a sense of vitality, resilience, and joy that allows us to embrace each moment with a renewed zest for life.

RELAX and do it!

When you make your to-do list for the following day, do you leave yourself time to relax? With doctors advising that you need to get more exercise and a long list of retirement plans stacking up, you might not feel like you have a free moment. But relaxation can be just as beneficial for your health as eating well and working out, especially if you’ve adopted modern society’s tendency to keep a jam-packed schedule. Learn the benefits of taking time to relax so that you can intentionally unwind instead of waiting until you’re overwhelmed and then crashing. It’s time to THRIVE!!

Be Proud of Your Choices, Not Your Gifts -Jeff Bezos

Being proud of your children has nothing to do with achieving something extraordinary or special. Pride comes from seeing the fruits of your labor as a parent as the years go by. Certainly, this comforting feeling comes in seeing every step that your children take towards maturity, knowing that they’re much closer to self-sufficiency. It’s about recognizing the good things that they do in their life. For those without children, being proud can obviously be measured in many other ways. An accomplished task, project, or personal goal will also give us a sense of pride in the process in which it was achieved. So savor the moment, you have earned it!

Downsizing to Thrive as We Age!

As we gracefully move through life's seasons, downsizing becomes a transformative journey that frees us from the burden of material possessions, allowing us to thrive in new and exciting ways. Let's explore the importance of downsizing as we age, unlocking the path to a simpler, more fulfilling life.
Liberating Our Space: Downsizing liberates us from the weight of excess. By letting go of belongings that no longer serve us, we create space for new experiences, passions, and connections. Let's embrace the joy of decluttering and discover the freedom that comes with living in a space that truly reflects who we are today.
Prioritizing What Matters: Downsizing prompts us to reflect on what truly matters in life. It invites us to focus on experiences, relationships, and personal growth instead of accumulating material possessions. Let's redirect our energy towards activities that bring us joy and create lasting memories, fostering a sense of fulfillment and purpose.
Simplifying Daily Life: Downsizing allows us to simplify our daily routines, reducing stress and increasing peace of mind. By embracing a more streamlined lifestyle, we can dedicate our time and energy to meaningful pursuits, hobbies, and self-care. Let's savor the beauty of a slower pace and relish in the moments that truly matter.
Creating a Sustainable Future: Downsizing aligns with our desire to create a sustainable future for ourselves and the planet. By reducing our consumption and living with less, we contribute to a more eco-friendly lifestyle. Let's prioritize quality over quantity, embracing the beauty of simplicity and leaving a lighter footprint for generations to come.
Embracing New Possibilities: Downsizing opens doors to new adventures and opportunities, freeing up our time, resources, and energy, allowing us to explore passions, travel, and pursue lifelong dreams. Let's step into the next chapter of our lives with excitement, knowing that downsizing is the key to unlocking a world of possibilities allowing up to THRIVE!
