How important is age, yours or others'? If you're like most people, it's a big factor because we've been conditioned to value ages. Many parents celebrate their child's first birthday in a big way.

My darling youngest grandson turned 13 this year. Upon receiving his gift, he asked, "Lise, are you aware that I have now entered my teenage years?" He was joyful and full of delight. After adolescence, we celebrate 18th birthdays and milestone decades. In our 40s and 50s, we may notice time passing. The feeling is sometimes subliminal but apparent.

Many believe our consciousness rises with age. Unfortunately, this is not true. Many people over 50 may not have completely acknowledged their worries, feelings, needs, or long-standing frustrations. Physical challenges may indicate this. A portion of them may be demanding their attention, boosting self-awareness.

Could you explain consciousness? Being self-aware is understanding one's own reality. However, "developing an understanding" is different from "being fully aware". Say a person is seeking a surgical career.

He will learn about the human body and healing methods via rigorous study. He may better grasp his position as a surgeon after doing his own surgeries.

I often hear sixties people worry about their personal growth owing to age. It would help if others understood the importance of retrospectives throughout life. As we age, our sense of our age may affect our openness to new ideas and awareness.

What is the objective of this request? Because worries become stronger over time, they might occasionally impair our awareness. It's crucial to recognise that consciousness can evolve throughout life.

She would benefit from encouragement and opportunities to explore other areas to grow and develop. Developing consciousness requires open-mindedness. Reluctant to try new things may limit their awareness.

Age can make us think youngsters are less aware than their parents. Since I believe each generation may outperform the last, I prefer to ignore this view. I also believe that youngsters are more aware than their parents in several areas. Many parents may worry about this.

Children are discouraged from voicing their ideas. They seem to be abandoning the idea of raising awareness. I enjoyed meeting parents who attended sessions with their kids.

These youth's intelligent questions and contributions were often admired by other attendees. Active listening and encouraging youth to speak up are highly supported.

My thoughts take me back to a talk with my oldest kid when he was younger. He wondered why he should eat when not hungry. I politely told him it was time for a meal and emphasised my preference for a more moderate eating pattern rather than five or six meals a day like a servant.

At five, he understood the necessity of not eating when one is not hungry. I was stubbornly convinced that three meals a day was best, and I refused to investigate other options. I discovered it after thirty years.

When possible, broaden your outlook. Life quality should improve significantly. Being more aware of your needs might boost self-esteem.***
