The 3rd Age, between midlife and extreme old age, can be a time of discovery, personal development and enrichment, enjoying what Jung calls the ‘afternoon of life’. The challenge is to find meaning in ageing, acquire wisdom from past experiences and integrate all that we have become. We have a lifetime to learn from and lots of time for reflection. We learn best, however, in relationship with others. Living well means continuing to learn with people by listening actively and asking questions empathically. This respectful way of being with others can build awareness of values and behaviour, recognise recurring patterns and identify what matters most at this stage of life. By being open we can foster tolerance and self-acceptance, enhance our capacity for self-management and establish new relationships. |
