To give you peace

It's mid November and a rose had tried to bloom, just before this morning's frost....

The moon is full and hazy and sits low as it marries it's partner the sun fading in the West - the blackbird knows it will be dark soon....

The leaves are crispy at the top of the layer, but mushy below as I gather them - lovely for next year's mulch....

The rhythm of the seasons stabilises our existences - it just happens, it's there, waiting to be found....

to give you peace

Keeping going over 60

The pandemic and all it's whirlwind of changes in home and work life meant I didn't stop to think of the so called milestone of reaching my 60th birthday. I wonder how many others are feeling the same?

It's made me think about properly pausing to have a deep think about how I navigate the next few years. The challenges most of us face once over 60 include:

Health: changes in physical and mental health can make overcoming obstacles more draining.

Retirement: adjusting to a new routine and missing the structure of work can be demotivating.

Loss: grieving loved ones or facing a change in living circumstances can drain energy and purpose.

Ageism: societal messages about aging can make feeling down about challenges more likely.

SO: HOW CAN WE STAY MOTIVATED?

some ideas and inspiration - just reading the words can help your mind open up:

Focus on progress, not perfection: celebrate small wins to maintain momentum.

Find a purpose: volunteer, take up a new hobby, or reconnect with old passions.

Stay connected: build a strong support network of friends, family, or online communities.

Embrace lifelong learning: take courses, attend workshops, or read inspiring content.

Prioritize self-care: get enough sleep, eat healthily, and manage stress through exercise and /or relaxation techniques.

Reframe challenges: view setbacks as opportunities to learn and grow.

Celebrate resilience: acknowledge how you've overcome challenges in the past.

Focus on strengths: recognize the skills and experience gained over a lifetime.

Maintain a positive attitude: gratitude and optimism can fuel motivation.

If you're finding some of the above hard to do, find connection in your network of friends, family, or via online communities.

Remember it can give immediate relief to seek professional help - set up a session to talk with a life coach, or for more deep seated issues in your past, a therapist for guidance and support.

Working through transitions in life

A short guide:

Call it a change, a challenge or whatever else, we all have to cope with transitions in life - whether chosen or not.

Is it possible to feel we have some control? Making meaning in our lives is the key - can we give meaning to a difficult situation?

A meaning making bridge can be devised, in small steps.

Or, if you need to, a bigger effort to tackle some fundamentals if you have not had to do that before (or in this particular way).

HOW?

• acknowledge and accept reality - this can often be the hardest part, be kind to yourself as you work through this

• look ahead

• see the bigger picture or reframe as an opportunity, a glimmer of a new future

• imagine then put together a new goal or goals, being realistic

• learn to have a balanced view - don't take failure or challenge personally

• build and maintain resilience - recognise all that you have coped with up until now!

It's helpful to have someone by your side. Have a look at The Canalside Life Coach Guide to Reaching your Goals: https://www.canalsidecoach.app/goals-in-2024
