Night 3: Moving the Clock Forward Without Fear: Thoughts Affect Your Reality

What is your plan for the rest of your life? Do you feel reluctant to plan because it forces you to think about aging? Do you believe that you only get better, like a fine wine, or that age brings an inevitable decline in health and well-being? In this session you will learn how your subconscious thoughts may be sabotaging your efforts to take action steps. You will also explore how journal writing can be a tool to help you understand yourself more deeply.

Free and open to adults. Registration required.
