I turned 50 a couple months ago, and I’ve noticed shifts in me beyond what the numbers represent...middle age.
Typically when you hear the words 'middle age' people tend to think of 'old', 'aches and pains' and 'half way to the end of life on Earth.' Truth to be told, I don't feel old. My body still moves with ease, with no aches or pains. And while I have zero control of when I leave this Earth, I do find that because of that, this is what has shifted....
I’m craving quality conversations. The kind where I listen more than I speak and leave feeling replenished instead of drained. Maybe that’s part of why being with my adult kids feels so different now. I’m not trying to guide or fix or shape anything. I just want to sit in their energy and soak in who they’ve become. It makes me so proud of them in the deepest way.
All the years of shadow work I've done have softened me too. It’s easier to let things go. Easier to pause before reacting. Easier to protect my peace without explanation.
I’m becoming gentler with myself. Slowing down the grind. Letting life meet me instead of constantly chasing after it.
And I’m realizing, life just keeps getting better and better when I slow down enough, am intentional with my time and am present where my feet are.
Life isn't a race, so why are we running?❤️
