Real Life After 70 – Episode 9

Real Life After 70

Reinventing Our Life Continues – Do we create our own suffering?

Welcome to “Real Life After 70”

A podcast related to surviving and thriving at any age.

This is Real Life After 70 – Episode 9

My name is Mike Reynolds. I’m your host for this and each episode.

Reinvent and the synonyms: Pick one each day to focus on.

Remake, revive, renovate, resuscitate, revamp, reaffirm, reawaken, refresh, regenerate, rehabilitate, remodel, renew, reopen, replace, restate, restore, resume, revitalize.

Today we discuss “Replace”. Most of the stress that we experience in our lives can be traced back to unfulfilled expectations. Some times these dashed expectations lead us into a period of anger, fear,
disappointment and intolerance.
These are our emotional responses to the stress we are experiencing.

Have we become so accustomed to instant gratification that we put ourselves into a state of
suffering?

Do we really create our own lives and therefore our suffering?

Can we change our perspective and end our suffering?

We will inevitably face some challenges along this journey of self-fulfillment. Today we’ll discuss some of those challenges and how to surmount such obstacles.

Dashed Expectations harm ourselves and our relationships. We can overcome this by relinquishing
control over anything outside of ourselves.

Criticism and judgement from fri ends and family is a fear that many of us share. We can overcome this and it gets easier and easier as we go forward.

Learning something new is a constant struggle. Whether it’s technology or terminology, we can learn
what we need to. Asking for help opens up new avenues.
