Each of us needs motivation to act. What creates motivation? A leading factor will be emotion because “Emotion = Motion”.
Acting strictly on raw emotion is not a Life by Design. It is a Life by Default. Is that good enough for you and your family, or your closest friends? Say NO, and NO.
In the last article, Action Trumps the Words, I promised to discuss how to navigate and choose the best housing when daily life becomes less independent.
Changes in health, mobility, and sense of well-being will create emotions. In fact, a whole array of emotions. Some, like fear and denial, are kept to yourself. Denial is a coping mechanism. It can involve NOT acknowledging reality or denying the consequences of reality.
That is where family, friends, and professionals can be a great help.
You, a friend, or your parent may be experiencing these changes. The question?
Whether to let life happen to you (or them) by default or choose the opportunity to embrace DESIGN.
In my work, I choose to support DESIGN because my influence must lead to a match between home and lifestyle. Working with purpose avoids the potential of excess expense, loss of equity, or stress and crisis.
My principal role is two-fold. 1) to help people make decisions most beneficial to them, 2) to prepare and sell a property, or purchase/rent the right property. I build a custom team for each situation.
A hand-picked team is diverse and situation-dependent. Let’s start your journey with information that helps engage in conversation. I love the book by Sue Lantz, Director, Collaborative Aging!
Sue is a navigational expert and educator in the aging journey. I have a few copies of her guide: OPTIONS OPEN – The Guide for Mapping Your Best Aging Journey.
