Aging Well - What's It All About?

Welcome!

Hi,

I'm Dr. Janice Walton, an 86-year-old widow and psychologist with extensive experience in both work and life. I have a Ph.D. in Psychology and have worked in the mental health profession for 30 years. I have a unique perspective on the concept of aging.

My goal is to help you age well, regardless of your life’s circumstances.

Here, we examine what I consider the “emotional labor” of aging and the less-recognized underlying demands placed on us as we grow older.

I’ve found that our underlying beliefs and perceptions, ingrained habits, and resistance to change all play a part in our choices and decisions as we age. They must be considered.

This newsletter invites you to look deeper, to examine those other factors and conditions that play a significant role in the journey.

Aging Well is where we dive into what the mainstream media overlooks.

Together, we will look at how to:

• Make the changes and choices to age well

• Quiet the aging noise and figure out and accept what is true for you now

• Build resilience, resourcefulness, willingness, and responsibility

• Manage the practical issues that can and will arise

• Have plans in place so you’re prepared in your older years

Currently, the Aging Well Newsletter features over 300 articles and has more than 3,000 subscribers.

If you subscribe EVERY FRIDAY

• You will receive an article about preparing for and managing life as an older adult.

• Numerous tips and resources based on my years of experience.
