Have you noticed how nature adapts so beautifully to harmonise with its environment? As we age, we’re invited to do the same.
Our bodies, energy levels and priorities shift. Part of adapting is recognising our changing needs—and questioning whether our old wants still serve us.
With insistence comes resistance.
If we insist on maintaining the identity of who we once were, producing the same output and keeping the same pace, we may begin to feel that resistance in our energy levels.
Going with the flow begins with seeing ourselves clearly, as we are today. Asking what we need in this chapter, rather than expecting ourselves to live exactly as we did in the last.
When did you last do a needs versus wants audit?
“Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.” (a wee midlife reference there).
Accepting the natural process of ageing opens us to the beauty this stage can offer. We can adjust how we move, rest, work and spend our time—and create space to enjoy what’s here now.
Fun can always be had, no matter your age.
And feeling fabulous now, could be different to feeling fabulous then.
Sometimes reality can be annoying, hard, undesirable. But it always is as it is. Unless we accept that which ‘is’, we’ll always be battling against it, denying it or wishing it was something different.
