<p class="p1">Having reached the point where I have 52yrs to reflect upon, it comes with the recognition that I’m even happier than ever!</p>
&nbsp;
<p class="p1">How could that be when I’ve lived such a happy life over all?</p>
&nbsp;
<p class="p1">Even though I’m now technically in the ‘older pops’ demographic, &amp; mature might be another word others use now to describe me these days, I’m also a grandma to 13 wonderful kiddies through marriage<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
&nbsp;
<p class="p1">Also coming through a pandemic I still feel extremely hardy as age/time brings with it the skill of being positive, logical &amp; proactive<span class="Apple-converted-space"> - hey I even got married in the midst of it all!</span></p>
&nbsp;
<p class="p1">Having practised being kinder to myself through my inner dialogue &amp; developing my skill in empathising, I feel I recognise even more how 'stuff' matters less, while people &amp; experiences matter much more<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
&nbsp;
<p class="p1">It’s becoming clearer why we assume the ‘elderly’ to be a kind bunch &amp; more self-less<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
&nbsp;
<p class="p1">As I find myself listening much more carefully to what others say, prioritising others more &amp; my desire to learn amplifies, I value different things as important now like;</p>

<ul>
 	<li class="p1">Cute complimentary texts for no reason from wonderfully important people<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></li>
 	<li class="p1">Seeing others demonstration altruism<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></li>
 	<li class="p1">Expecting others to be well intended</li>
 	<li class="p1">Swapping roles to give back to parents who you never felt you could repay</li>
 	<li class="p1">Realising things are far less important<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></li>
 	<li class="p1">Not sweating the small stuff</li>
 	<li class="p1">Being able to really appreciate &amp; enjoy NOW (the moment) more often</li>
 	<li class="p1">Confidence &amp; clarity in my purpose &amp; everything I do<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></li>
</ul>
<p class="p1">To celebrate in this Juicemail special I’m re-sharing my top tips for feeling great in your 50’s</p>

<h2 class="p3"><b>#1 – Make A SMART Plan </b></h2>
<p class="p1">What’s the end goal?</p>
<p class="p1">Retire in Marbella?</p>
<p class="p1">Run a B&amp;B in Lochness?</p>
<p class="p1">Build mud huts in a 3rd world country?</p>
<p class="p1">Be specific so that you can actually measure it. It MUST be achievable and realistic otherwise what’s the point? Then stick to a timeline for it!</p>
<p class="p1">Consider the above long term goal to enable you to plan backwards, like a marathon runner does with their training. Once you know the end goal, you can design a schedule that runs from the end goal, back a chunk at a time. This gives you something to measure at each stage of your life plan so you can check, adjust if necessary and monitor how you’re doing with reference points.</p>
<p class="p1">By the way …. it’s ok to change your mind!</p>
&nbsp;
<p class="p1"><img class="wp-image-29667 alignleft" src="https://biomechanicseducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/GetAttachmentCATNH3ZA-1.jpg" alt="" width="365" height="459" /></p>

<h2 class="p3"><b>#2 – Nourish Your Movement – Prepare Your Body</b></h2>
<p class="p1">Nourishing movement is all about treating the body you live in with respect and love.</p>
<p class="p1">You cannot buy a new one, wear and tear will happen but…..</p>
<p class="p1">….using your body in a variety of ways consistently maintains healthy joints, tissues and bones. The beautiful knock-on effect is a healthy mind!</p>
<p class="p1">Exercise Is Movement Medicine</p>
<p class="p1">The things we put inside our bodies to fuel us make a huge difference, if not always immediately, certainly over time.</p>
<p class="p1">You will look and feel a representation of the way you fuel your body.</p>
<p class="p1">It is NOT complex! Balanced, considered with consistent moderation.</p>

&nbsp;
<h2 class="p3"><b>#3 – Sleep Plan – No Excuses!</b></h2>
<p class="p1">An extremely underrated medicinal tool and another very simple one!</p>
<p class="p1">Get 8 hours each night minimum (as the research states ‘Why We sleep’ Matthew Walker) by following</p>
<p class="p1">a routine of bedtime, room temperature and waking when you wake NOT to an alarm.</p>
<p class="p1">See the difference when you do!</p>
<p class="p1">Sleep Is Mental Medicine</p>

<h2 class="p3"><b>#4 – Prioritise Time Out – The 3 x R’s</b></h2>
<p class="p1">With consistent rest, relaxation and recuperation planned into your schedule your body will thank you!</p>
<p class="p1">Rest – Sitting for a moment</p>
<p class="p1">Relax – being sociable or spending time talking to family/friends</p>
<p class="p1">Recuperation – sleep &amp; holidays</p>
<p class="p1">All are required!</p>

<h2 class="p3"><b>#5 – Do Something You Never Dared </b></h2>

<h2 class="p3"><b>#6 – Commit A Random Act Of Kindness Each Week </b></h2>
<p class="p1">Being kind to others is vital for your contribution to world peace and showing compassion. Even more joyous and fun if the receiver doesn’t realise it was you who left those flowers at their door or even that you made their life easier by cleaning their windows while they were out.</p>
<p class="p1">This morning I took my neighbours bag of glass bottles to the bottle bank……ssssssssh don’t tell them it was me!</p>

<h2 class="p3"><b>#7 – Learn A New Skill Each Quarter </b></h2>

<h2 class="p3"><b>#8 – Live In The Moment  </b></h2>
<p class="p1">You cannot change the past, you have no idea of the future but OH BOY you can enjoy this moment!</p>
<p class="p1">Never forget to savour the sunshine, a blue sky, a beautiful flower or giggling children.</p>
Time with precious friends or even special times with strangers...you never know when they may disappear never to be seen again
