People say the only consistent thing about life is that it’s always changing! And with all of these new shifts, happiness will come – but so will hardship. As we get older, it can be difficult to navigate massive life changes like retirement or your kids moving away. It’s easy to slip into a negative mindset about your new routine which may feel uncomfortable or foreign. However, in moments like these, what we truly need is to be resilient throughout these changes. It takes work to stay in touch with your resilience. If you don’t maintain your fighting spirit and mindset through difficult situations in life, it can be harder to make decisions, you can become less social and easygoing, managing emotions becomes more difficult, and you find less creative inspiration from life. My guest on this week's episode is Dr. Joseph Casciani, a psychologist who has specialized in senior care for over 30 years. More important than his expertise, he brings a passion to help all of us to make the best of every year of our lives. Dr. Casciani focuses on successful aging and managing setbacks along the way with stories, inspiration, and a good measure of positivity. In this episode, we talk about how to “flip the switch” and take back control of your life, getting back in tune with who you really are, and how to live in your golden years with resilience and optimism.
