The importance of PURPOSE as we age

Purpose can be defined as deriving meaning from life’s experiences and possessing a sense of intentionality and goal-directedness. Having a sense of purpose is important at every stage of our life as it can decrease stress, strengthen the immune system, and promote resilience. You are also more likely to live longer, less likely to have a heart attack or stroke, and studies even suggest that you are less likely to develop Alzheimer’s Disease. Our desire to learn new things and to thrive doesn’t end at retirement or when a spouse passes, which is why Cordia makes it our mission to provide opportunities for our members to continue to lead purposeful and meaningful lives. Our philosophy has been a game changer in our members’ lives and it is what sets us apart from other communities. See for yourself. Check out this week’s programming schedule (yes, it changes weekly) to see how our members are spending their time.
