“...It was evening. Larisa stood at the supermarket checkout and couldn’t get the obsessive thought out of her head: “When will this working day end!? I’m 19 years old, and I’m vegetating here with no hope for the future.” One thing was good - tomorrow is March 8th! The earring will give you something! Although, remembering the gift from Larisa on February 23, we shouldn’t have expected anything serious. Well, what if!? Larisa’s thoughts were interrupted by a couple appearing in front of the cash register. Sports jackets, sneakers, a full basket of goods and happy faces. How many of them go through the cash register per working day? Who are all these people? Hmm... Larisa, with her experience, can already work as a profiler!..." You can start this note like this, but we are not talking about Larisa, although she is indeed real. And the couple is real. This couple was me and my wife, precious Gayanochka. The two of us are over a hundred years old from birth. To be more precise, I am 53, my wife is 52. So: when it was time to pay at the checkout, seeing a discount card in my wife’s hands, Larisa said: “The card is not needed, pensioners already have a discount today!” The second day my wife and I giggled on this occasion. And I had a question: “How do we perceive age at different periods of our lives?” I remember myself as a child: - “In 2000, I will be 30 years old! Horror!" A man of forty years old was perceived by me as some kind of old man. Let's be honest: the perception of age is a topic that affects each of us throughout our lives. Since childhood, we see adults as authoritative and wise people who know the answers to everything questions. Trying to be like them, we wait until the time comes when we grow up and everything will be clear and understandable. However, as we grow older, our perception of age begins to change. When we are teenagers, we want to be adults, independent and. free. We dream of being perceived as equals, and not as children. But when adulthood comes, we realize that it is far from the ideal that we imagined. At the age of 30-40, many of us begin to realize that. time flies incredibly quickly, and we are faced with new problems and challenges. We discover that there is still a little child inside us who wants to play and dream. And we begin to ask questions about our place in this world and our purpose. In their 50s and 60s, many people experience a midlife crisis, when they evaluate their lives and question their accomplishments. They may experience fear of old age and loss of energy, health and beauty. But this is also a time when you can begin a new stage of life, discover new hobbies and interests, and rethink your values. As we age, our perception of age becomes wiser and more balanced. We begin to appreciate every moment and understand that every age has its pros and cons. We stop comparing ourselves to others and begin to accept ourselves as we are. So, how is it correct, or what do we psychologists say is environmentally friendly, to perceive age at different periods of life? Here are just a few tips that can help: Accept yourself for who you are, with all your strengths and weaknesses. Do not put yourself within the framework of age stereotypes; Do not be afraid to change and develop. Age is not a barrier, but an opportunity for new beginnings; Do not compare yourself with others (debatable, but still). Each person is unique and follows their own path; Don't forget about your dreams and passions. Feel free to do what brings you joy; Learn to accept help and support from others. Old age does not mean weakness; Take care of your health and physical fitness. A healthy body is the key to a healthy soul; Don’t forget about your loved ones. Family and friends are support and support throughout life; Do not be afraid of old age. She comes with experience and wisdom that cannot be acquired in youth.?
