Jaqueline Wales The Fearless Factor Midlife. Don’t ya love it? The body is sliding south, the hormones are raging, your emotional life is a wreck, and worst of all, you suddenly find yourself looking for meaning and purpose in your life! Oy vey!

There is an enormous fear of growing older, becoming infirm, depending on others to take care of us. We watch our elderly parents with their health issues, financial issues and wonder if we’re destined for the same path.

Anything is possible, but if we spend our lives in the Kingdom of Worrydom, we will be old before our time.
I like to say ‘it’s not about age…it’s about attitude!’ and the best attitude is a positive approach to life. We take care of our health by eating and drinking moderately and paying attention to the quality of food that goes into our bodies. We show up to moderate exercise three times a week or more, which doesn’t mean running a marathon, unless it’s something you really want to do. And most importantly, we take care of our minds.

It’s never too late to teach an old broad new tricks. Study opens up the mind and keep your brain active. A steady diet of television will ruin you quicker than you can say Rip Van Winkle. Take classes, join a group, travel and explore new parts of the world, or your neighborhood. There is a wealth of possibilities waiting for you that don’t have to cost you money.

Make time to be with the people you care for most. This is an important element of growing older. Studies have shown that married people live longer than single people, but single people who congregate with friends on a regular basis are just as satisfied and experience longevity. Isolation kills spontaneity and depression is high, so get out more and find something that interests you.

Getting older doesn’t mean losing your faculties. Instead, look at is as a time when you have more time for you. It’s your turn. Take advantage of it. This is no time for fear. This is a time for freedom. Learn to trust you have all you need, right now.
