Baby Boomers (born: 1946-1964)
If you want to contribute to your family history, collapse the habits of generations past and leave an emotional legacy of connection, then it's time for you to enhance your inner world for maximum life enjoyment. Baby Boomers are much younger than their parents at the same stage in life, you have a long way to go yet, you're health conscious, you've been sensible through your life, now you want something for you.
It's time to develop your inner world so you can understand the pains of your parents generation, develop enough emotional compassion to understand (if not forgive) the emotional markers they saddled you with because at some point, usually in your 50s+ you question - what's it all for? You then KNOW what to pass on and what to leave behind, whilst watching others of your generation make the mistakes you side-stepped.
Generation X (born: 1965-1981)
If you've spent your life wondering what the future holds then it's time to enhance your inner world because you're fed up waiting for the what ifs of life. Born of the generation who saw their parents having whatever they wanted, you were the first en-mass generation to experience the fallout of divorce.
You had to learn independence early in life, the first 'latch key kids' you had to deal with the emotions of feeling home alone, postponing children and house purchases. Your motivation is not to repeat the mistakes your parents made, you have elevated anxieties around relationships, especially when it comes to the emotions of feeling 'left'.
You want to create inner transformation because you're more prone to anxiety and depression. Your generation experienced more stressors related to upbringing and social expectations due to high divorce rates during your developmental years and young adulthood. You've had enough of feeling 'less than'.
Ignoring your emotional needs seemed normal in early life, now though, it's not. You want to claim the happiness, centred clarity that's rightfully yours.
Millennials (born: 1982-2000)
You've watched two generations, one that claims the future as theirs (your grandparent's generation) one that's seen the future as disheartening (your parent's generation) into your experience of wondering if you have a future. Your motto is therefore 'live for the moment'.
You've lived from the opportunistic perspective - looking for things to meet your immediate wants, needs and goals. All great but now, you want something to stick, to feel part of a prolonged future which is why you're attracted to harmonising your inner world.
You're of the first generation with 'conscious parents' - those who have a conscious awareness of their effect on their children. Perhaps your parents used this opportunity well or perhaps you've seen it as they 'knew better but chose not to act it', which has left you in a deep space of anxiety, emotional abandonment and wondering if you have a mental health issue that needs to be 'fixed'.
Your 'live for today' attitude has now become 'live for tomorrow' as numbness is not an option. You want vibrancy, focus and a sense of emotional ownership of your inner world. Now is the time where you want to grasp it, even perhaps taking your time over it, the rebellious of your generation.
