Life Changes after 36 — Or Does It?
A new study out of the U.K. says that the magic age where people decide to reflect and make changes in themselves happens at 36.
Anderson did a study of 2,000 people. He found that by our mid-30s, health and well-being become a much bigger priority.
Fifty-six percent of the 2,000 admitted that until they were 36, they were more interested in living in the moment.
Do you think that this is true? I personally think that each individual goes through their own "growing up moment" but I don't think that it is necessarily at age 36.
The study does give a bit of insight into what these "set yourself straight at 36 moments" are:
- Getting older
- Having a health scare
- A close relative died
- A warning from my doctor
- Seeing a shocking photo of myself
- A close relative fell ill
- A TV program about bad eating habits
- Negative comments about my health that hit a nerve
- I had a serious accident
- A public health message
