Keeping going over 60

Keeping going over 60

Written/Human authored by Anne Brookes

Challenges most of us face:

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 ageing can make feeling down about challenges more likely (and quite often we have internalised thes, thus imposing limitiations in our thinking)

HOW to STAY MOTIVATED

Ideas and inspiration:

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.
