Synopsis

We all want the best of growing older. There’s just one problem: the older we get, the harder it gets to stay well and active. Sound familiar? In this book author Margie Hackbarth reveals the ways affirmations help us set and achieve meaningful goals during this phase of life’s journey. This includes how to recognize and tackle unconscious and deep-rooted age bias. She teaches how to pause to reflect. Then guides readers to shift from reluctantly aging to intentionally aging.

The gap between falls knowledge & behaviors

There is no shortage of wellness information available today. We are inundated with messages to expand our healthy aging knowledge base. This includes evidence on falls risk factors. Yet, there is often a shortage of motivation, confidence, and perseverance to apply this knowledge, practice and hard-wire healthy behaviors. In Chapter 9 I share my own falls story, which was sort of embarrassing, because I have a lot of knowledge about falls risks, yet this knowledge didn't translate to my own behaviors. In this chapter, "Practice Makes Better," I discuss how to reach new goals by practicing new habits. Reading this chapter would be a step in the right direction if you want to fill the gap between falls prevention knowledge and your own behaviors.

Book Excerpt

Amaging(TM) Growing Old On Purpose

I learned that my right shoulder was dislocated and my right humerus bone was broken near the shoulder. The physician assistant did a quick and impressive manipulation to put the shoulder back into place, and I was sent home with a pain medication prescription and instructions to see an orthopedic surgeon.

At the time of this book’s publication, I exercise to build strength, and I’m optimistic I will gain strength and stay active for the long haul, so I can continue to play golf, ride a bike, swim laps, play pickleball, straighten my hair, and possibly sweep a floor again. No rush for the latter!

I’m sharing this falls story not for a sympathy vote but rather to illustrate how knowledge did not translate into a behavior change for me.
