Joy of Life

Maintaining joie de vivre in old age is the top priority and has many facets.

Dr Petra Gürtner therefore supports her patients at every medical and therapeutic stage to help them regain or maintain their ability to walk. However, if symptoms arise in old age, prompt action is essential, as many resources are already being used up simply to cope with daily life. It is medically proven that a zest for life in old age makes a significant contribution to health.

SOME QUESTIONS WE MAY ASK ABOUT YOUR LIFE ENJOYMENT:

What thrills you?
Do you long for anything?
What goals do you have?
Do you make your own decisions?
What activities do you plan for?
What saddens you?
Do you feel exhausted?
Of what are you proud?

WALK, WALK, WALK

Walking strengthens the body, mind and soul and is one of the most important recommendations given to patients on their journey.

APPRECIATION

In retirement there is loss of appreciation from others. Therefore new areas of interest and meaning need to be cultivated as ways to experience value and appreciation.

A POSITIVE ATTITUDE THROUGH MEANING

As the years go by, it may be necessary to reexamine goals and the meaning of life. Planning for the future and long term goals are most powerful when linked to a true sense of purpose.

RHYTHM OF LIFE

Day to day activities provide rhythm and structure. In retirement it is a challenge to create a new schedule, but without it there is confusion and boredom. With it, there is time to deepen contacts and to experience new joys.

All of the above qualities are components to experience the “joy of life”.
