@lifeandstyle50: You don’t need more goals. I know that sounds strange coming from someone who spent most of her life being ambitious, setting targets and working out exactly what came next. But at 58, I’ve realised something. For years, I thought the answer was always another goal. Lose a few pounds. Build the business. Make more money. Do more. Achieve more. Plan the next thing. And if I felt unsettled or a bit lost, I’d assume I needed to figure out what I was working towards next. But sometimes you’re not lost. You’re just tired of constantly moving towards something. And I think this happens to a lot of women in their 50s. We’ve spent decades looking after everyone, building careers, raising families, creating homes, being responsible, achieving things. Then suddenly the children have grown up, your career might look different, your priorities have changed… And the goals that used to motivate you don’t necessarily feel that important anymore. That can feel uncomfortable. Because we’re so used to thinking that if we’re not moving forward, we must be standing still. But I don’t think you always need a new goal. Sometimes you need to edit your life. To look at what you already have and ask: What do I actually want more of now? What can I stop doing? What no longer matters? What would make my everyday life feel better? Because at this stage, I’m less interested in constantly chasing the next version of my life… and much more interested in creating a life I actually enjoy living now. That’s the edit. Not more goals. A better life. #genxwomen #womenover50 #50andFabulous #fabulous50s
