Hi Everyone,
Welcome to Enjoy Life in Your 50’s!
I started this blog because I realized I needed to revitalize my life and that I was far from alone.
Areas that were good before, were not so great now. I was embarrassed by the position I was in and not wanting to see or call anyone. People generally ask “What’s new with you?” I felt like I was in a worse situation then when we used to interact before and had no desire to discuss it. Everything just seemed to be a mess.
I was upset and frustrated with myself because I felt I should have handled things better and I was very much aware that I am in my 50’s, not 35.
Making a Change
However after wallowing in all of that for a while, I knew I had to make changes if I wanted to see changes.
I thought about what I did not like about how I was living my life and I also do not like how society treats us as if we are invisible.
There are many women in their 50’s who are experiencing feelings of being stuck, they have a lack of clarity or direction about what is next, overwhelm from too much information, loss of confidence or energy and social disconnection.
I needed to decide how to embrace this stage of life and make changes, even if the results are messy until I get better at navigating my new changes.
Do not wait for everything to be perfect, another word for perfection should be frustration. I used to create YouTube videos and I kept filming them and not editing and posting them because they were too rough. They had too many cuts, messy technical and appearance mistakes. I would be so much better at it now if I had kept posting and creating videos.
Finally realized I had to do something my grandmother taught us, start where you stand. I also had to decide to do the work. Little elves were not going to show up and do it for me and it would not be perfect from the beginning.
As a result here we are today! If you have experienced any of the feeling above, then we are here for you.
We will learn, grow, be courageous and laugh together. Not pressuring each other but supporting each other.
Get ready to be excited about what is next!
