Map reading, grwing fruit and vegetable and basic car service are als mre cmmn skills amng the baby bmer generatin. But accrding t a new survey, just ne in three 18- t 25-year-lds are able t d basic DIY, cmpared t tw-thirds f thse aged 58 and ver.
Sarah Clarke-Kuehn, Chief Operating Officer-Cmmercial, said, “The survey findings are s interesting as they highlight a very cmmn incrrect cnceptin related t ‘getting ld’.”
When asked at what age they thught develping new skills becmes “difficult”, Gen Z respndents said they were 35 years ld, while thse aged ver 58 believed this number was 63 years ld. The belief is that there is a bundary between learning new skills and getting a sense f achievement. But we knw that this is just nt the case. The benefits in cntinuing t enjy life, as well as develping new talents are very significant—bth physically and mentally as we grw lder.
Neurscientist and authr, Dr Julia Jnes, said, “We underestimate ur brain’s ability t cntinue learning. Our brain is the mst cmplex and precise structure in the knwn universe but we nly use a small part f its true ptential thrughut ur lifetimes. T bst cntinued brain health, we shuld learn cmplex and nvel skills at all ages. This becmes mre imprtant as we age, because these learning experiences help t build new cnnectins between neurns (神经细胞) that maintain intelligence and reduce the risk f future brain decline.”
“Learning languages and musical instruments are believed t be effective at bsting neurplasticity (神经可塑性) due t their cmplex nature, but all learning is beneficial and can bring a sense f achievement, purpse and scial engagement.”
Dr Jnes added. “Find a new hbby and thrw yurself int a wnderful learning experience r pick up an ld pastime and imprve thse skills. I’m currently learning t play the guitar and it’s pened up a whle new wrld f music and fun.”

Researchers als fund large health gaps between US adults f different genders, ages, and educatin levels. Specifically, the study fund Americans with less educatin were half as likely t be in peak cardimetablic health.
O’Hearn adds, “Identifying these individuals and addressing their health cnditins and lifestyle early is critical t reducing grwing healthcare burdens. Its impacts n natinal healthcare spending and the financial health f the entire ecnmy are enrmus. And these cnditins are largely preventable. We have the public health and clinical interventins and plicies t be able t address these prblems.”

The cncept f cmfrt zne (舒适区) refers t a psychlgical state in which we feel safe and d nt experience anxiety r fear. It is a “space” that we knw cmpletely and in which we cntrl almst everything.
Yur cmfrt zne represents things yu’re familiar with, yur regular haunts, friends yu’re at ease with, and activities yu lve ding. Yur cmfrt zne’s risk free. It’s easy. It desn’t cause yu t stretch. Within these bundaries we feel safe and secure.
During my senir year in cllege I was shrt a few credits, and s I skimmed thrugh the class schedule lking fr smething t fill the hurs. When I came acrss “Private Vice Instructin” as in singing lessns, I thught, “Why nt step utside my cmfrt zne and give it a try?”
I was careful t sign up fr private lessns instead f grup lessns because I didn’t want t make a fl f myself by singing in frnt f ther students.
Things went fine until the end f the semester when my singing prfessr brught the shcking news. “By the way, Sean, have yu decided which sng yu want t sing at the recital?” “What d yu mean?” I asked in hrrr.
“Well, the class requirements state that yu have t sing at least ne time in frnt f the ther private vice students.”
“That wuld nt be a gd idea,” I said emphatically.
“Oh, it’s n big deal. Yu’ll d fine.”
Well, t me it was a huge deal. The thught f singing in frnt f a grup made me physically sick. “Hw am I ging t get ut f this ne?” I thught. But I culdn’t allw myself t d that because I had been speaking t varius grups ver the past year advising them t never let fears make their decisins.
“Curage, Sean.” I kept saying in my mind. “Yu’ve gt t at least try.”
