Over the years the Redefining Ageing event has tackled some serious subjects, from menopause in the workplace to sexuality beyond 50, and taking control of our money after divorce. Despite the need to take on these tough subjects that impact women in midlife and beyond, I've also felt the need to include a lot of fun in the process.
In the last five events, we've sung, danced, and created a lot of laughter showing that we're never too old to have fun!
Is there a point in life when we spot having fun?
Absolutely not! Many of our elders are proving that age should never be a barrier to having fun and enjoying life. Fun and enjoyment are essential for our overall well-being, regardless of our age.
Below are a few reasons why it's important to continue having fun as we age.
Mental and Emotional Well-being: Engaging in activities that are fun to us can boost our mood, reduce stress, and increase feelings of happiness and fulfillment. Fun activities stimulate the release of endorphins, which are natural mood enhancers.
Physical Health: Fun activities often involve movement and physical exertion, which can contribute to improved physical health. Whether it's dancing, playing a sport, or going for a hike, staying active through enjoyable activities can help maintain strength, flexibility, and overall fitness.
Social Connection: Participating in fun activities such as dance classes in the Silver Sirens Virtual Sanctuary can provide opportunities for social interaction and connection with others. Engaging in shared interests and hobbies can help build and strengthen relationships, fostering a sense of belonging and support.
Creativity and Personal Growth: Fun activities often involve creativity and self-expression. Engaging in hobbies such as painting, writing, or playing a musical instrument can stimulate our imagination, enhance problem-solving skills, and promote personal growth.
Stress Relief: Fun activities can serve as a form of stress relief and relaxation. Taking time to engage in enjoyable activities can help us recharge, unwind, and find balance in our lives.
It's important to note that fun is subjective, and what brings joy and fulfillment to one woman may be different for another. It's crucial to explore and discover activities that resonate with you and bring you happiness. Embrace your interests, try new things, and never let age be a barrier to having fun and enjoying life to the fullest!
