Question

Think about the significant physical, cognitive, and psychosocial milestones that occur during Adulthood (18-65 years), as well as the impact (positive or negative) that each can have on future development. Now, take a moment to reflect on your own growth and development during this stage. What major life events did you/might you experience? How may those events impact your physical, cognitive, or psychosocial development? Since Adulthood covers such a long period of time, many of you may find yourselves at various points along this spectrum. Therefore, this journal entry may require you to both reflect on past experiences and look forward to future milestones, predicting events you think will occur.

Answer 1

I am currently 32 years old, standing somewhere is middle.

Physical - There is obviously lot of difference in how I was 18 years old, My weight was also ok, there was lot of physical movement though there was no exercise. These days I need to take special efforts for for reducing my weight, as I had two pergnancies. A woman especially does not considers her physical well being, by runnning after her family life, a woman ignores it. I need to take care, I need to control over eating, sugar, and start exercizing regulalry for my good health.Although I exercise, but I do not concentrate while I exercise. I need to be calm and be at peace.

Cognitive - There is indeed a lot of cognitive development. AT the age of 18 the word responsibility was limited but now what is responsibility, so acting accordingly, having patience and all these things do help. Earlier before 25 I was free bird, moving here and there and hanging around with friends, shopping etc. But now I need to balance between many factors such as child, professional work, house hold chores. There are would many many responsibilities those would be coming in future, hence I need to have lot of patience, would have to start thinking about the how it would run, I need to plan monetary things also in advance. Hence keeping patience or low profile is any time helpful in going ahead with things.

Psychosocial - These things are also affcted to a large extent. Friends, sharing emotions, experiencing new world was the best phase in life. Getting along with other people was also very easy. But today or now this is not the case I need to be careful for many things. Again getting along with people is also not easy, one clear example is living with husband and in laws, adjusting with the environment around. But now even I feel like being a free bird like earlier times, hanging around, having some time for myself. Hence once again I am going to start socializing around, having time for myself. Caring for myself by giving roaming around and giving time for me.
