Question

What do you envision your life to be like as an older adult? Explain.

Answer 1

Humans are one of the most developed species on earth. The human life is divided into different phases according to their age. It begins from infancy when a child is born. As the child grows he attains puberty and becomes an adolescent. Adolescence is followed by becoming an adult. As the human grows old and ages he becomes an older adult. As the humans ages they undergo various physiological and anatomical changes.
The older adult phase starts between the age of 55-60 years. During this stage a person can see various changes occuring to his body like hairs become scarce and grey, reduced appetite, easy fatigue, weakness, loss of muscle mass, weak eyesight. These changes occur due to wear and tear occuring in body through the life due to daily activities and stress.
So it becomes very important for older adults to take care of themselves.
As I will grow old and become older adult, l envision myself being happy and content with my life. I would surely pay more attention to myself and the physical needs so that I can keep myself fit and healthy during old age. Also I envision myself being independent financially as well as physically. I also envsion myself of adopting atleast one sport or outdoor activity to keep myself fit and physically active. I will make sure that I save enough money to be financially independent during old age. I also envision myself of pursuing some of my hobbies like organic farming and painting. I love painting and gardening but due to lack of time I am not able to take out for them. But during old age I will definitely pursue these hobbies.
I will also attach myself to an NGO working for children. I love children and during old age I will like to connect with them. Children are full of warmth, love and positivity. Working for the children and being connected to them will give me positivity and energy during my old age and keep me away from anxiety, depression and stress.
