Aging is a mixed bag. There are things you are sad to see go but there are also many attributes that are unbelievably priceless. Here are some of the things I’m loving about getting older:
💪 Greater clarity
When you become clear of who you are, what you like and what you want - something shifts! No one can prepare you for the sense of liberation this brings. You may have spent years dithering, deliberating, doubting and hoping you’re on the right track, then it dawns on you that it’s was an inside job all along. When I began to see life through my own lens without having it validated by somebody else’s, that dithering lifted.
💪 Becoming more selective
Being an open and empathetic person, many people had access to my innermost thoughts and feelings - my dreams, my longings, my sorrows….and I know I’m not alone. With age, my circle of true confidents has become MUCH smaller. That doesn’t mean there are less people in my life, but that not everyone needs to have access to the deepest parts of me reserved for the select few. Game changer!
💪 More freedom
Aging has given me the freedom of not giving a hoot about what people think of me. This is a gift that keeps on giving. Comments that used to linger and doubts that took up valuable space in my mind are replaced with an inner knowing I’m enough. Priceless.
💪 Attuned to mind and body
If you’ve ever tried to tune a radio to particular station, and failed, you know what it’s like for your mind or body to tell you something that you’re not hearing. There’s a disconnect. Age has helped me tune in, listen and act. More rest and early nights mean less stress and overbooked social calendars. Inner peace is the new going out.
💪 Solid self-worth
The quality of your life hinges on how good you feel about yourself. Self-worth is not a nice to have, it’s essential. Your tool? Self-acceptance. When you feel compassion and empathy for who you are and why you do what you do, you create a safe place in which to learn and grow. Self-worth helps you raise the bar, say no to nonsense and attract better people into your life.
