3 ways aging biases your post-50 brain:
that, at 50 or so, people begin to move from viewing their lives as interminable stretches of time to seeing them as finite, and this transition shapes how we allocate our attention and the types of goals we choose to pursue.
What’s particularly interesting for me is that, while I have begun to experience this shift, it hasn’t been as straightforward as the research might suggest. In some ways I am as much a go-getter as ever. But just last week I heard myself say, “If I were ten years younger, I might really like to try that job.” My children were spooked. My oldest daughter blurted, “Mom! Why are you saying that?” I stopped short, with some chagrin, and realized she was right.
Which is why it’s important, as the average lifespan lengthens, that we push ourselves to stay open to new people and ideas as we age. I don’t just mean fifteen-minute TED talks and Sudoku puzzles. We need to keep our deep learning muscles alive and active – both physically and mentally.
