This article is a summary of the first Live Well, Age Well Worldwide webinar conducted by the Silver Surfers Club on Saturday, 9th May 2020. Please read through to the end to watch the edited version of the webinar recording.
What does aging well mean, particularly in the context of a pandemic?
For several weeks now, and until an undetermined time in the future, we have and will continue to stay apart from friends, family, and all our loved ones. That, unfortunately, is a given.
However, how we react to the situation and what we do to stay in balance will determine how we feel.
With that in mind, our webinar host Dr. Dominic Benjamin, Geriatrician and Ageing Specialist talked about the different dimensions that impact aging how we can live better, find like-minded people, beat isolation, and live a life of purpose, now and in the future.
We opened the discussion with a chat on what our values are as we move into, and past, retirement. Some of the questions we addressed were:
How do I define my success during this phase of my life?
How do I see myself in relationship to my social circles and community?
How is my physical health during this time?
How is my emotional state during this time?
How does one sleep well?
The Webinar was very well attended by Seniors from across the country and across the world.
Touching upon the various dimensions that impact one’s life, Dr. Dominic Benjamin MBBS, MRCP (Geriatrics) who specializes in offering comprehensive care for older adults through the AGE WELL CLINIC and also consults at Bangalore Baptist Hospital, shared with us his insight, tips and advice on how to overcome loneliness, stress, anxiety and find ways to life a life of spirituality and purpose to help us cope with change.
