I found it quite easy to understand, Jo, as it's very similar to my own language/thoughts ~ I'm fluent in MadOldBattish :-D
Good morning Jo, I'm older than you and I'm choosing to change in my 60s because some of the thoughts, beliefs and behaviours I learned as a younger person no longer serve me in a positive way. The way I started this process was by reading, journalling and listening to podcasts, but as time goes on, I'm listening to myself! I'm choosing to change because I want to feel peaceful in my own skin and to trust myself. For decades, my need for validation from others ruled my life, but I'm slowly feeling more grounded in myself and care much less about other's opinions (of me). Have a peaceful and contented week and take care 😘😘
Your not much older than me Karen and certainly don't look it. I agree, as usual, with everything you say. I am choosing to change and it is a continual process 😘😘
Thank you for this wonderful response; and thank you to Jo, of course… – and, yes, I understood it all: for, as I reach my mid-sixties, I find I am changing more rapidly than ever.
Perhaps an interesting benchmark for evaluating the merits of potential change now is to wonder if you will have any regrets in 5 or 10 years time....and also sticking to a regime of inching out of one's comfort zone every year... You may not be a ballet dancer but salsa or swing is not age specific....
You definitely made me laugh Susannah me salsa these legs are definitely not made for salsa 😂. On a serious notes I have tried not to have regrets but lessons learnt. I agree with sticking outside my comfort zone. I do struggle with risk and will often catostrophise. As I age those consequences become less important. A philosophical debate with myself is needed. Thank you for getting me thinking 😘😘😘.
I think I am changing more in my 50s than at any other adult age, because I am mindful of and seeking change. Not staying still just because I am older.

We do all change and as we grow older we should embrace the positives 😘😘
