Pathway To Hobbies To De-Stress By

Baby boomer mental health and boomer stress

Hopefully you’re working on some inventive ways to bring yourself more into the “aaah” mode, because if you don’t, no matter how fit you are, not managing your stress levels can kill you!

What about the aging effects of stress? If we knew the ways in which stress undermines our health and ages our bodies, would we be willing to take deliberate steps to manage the stress in our lives?

We find significant stress in issues around money, work and housing costs and now as Boomers age...our health falls into play as well. We’re more likely to recognize the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle or have been told by a health care provider to reduce our stress (and our blood pressure). It’s true that we boomers are more aware of our health and how to manage it than previous generations, so that gives us an edge.

So take time out to find a hobby you can enjoy, stay active doing and make sure you have “play time” scheduled into your life on a regular basis because if you do, you’ll have a longer one.
