Many of us who have experienced pain from our knees and hips have to face the fact that bearing the weight of our bodies is becoming difficult. No longer can we hop out of bed in the morning and move on as usual with our lives. MRIs give us even more info that our joints are showing signs of aging. We now have to form a strategy to try and regain the mobility that we once took for granted.
Our minds can also experience emotional pain from bearing the weight of stress and worry. Some of the stress is self-imposed when we expect too much from ourselves. Other stress may come from outside sources, situations beyond our control, or caused by other people. Our strategies of handling stress can make us stronger, but often the weight of the problems we must bear can interfere with our emotional and physical health.
The physical body will eventually wear out, and in some cases the mind will also deteriorate. As we age, we hope to keep our health as long as possible. At every age, we just have to cope with what life brings and hope for the best.
