The truth is: your grudges, your resentment, your unending anger. It is only hurting YOU. It’s like drinking poison and hoping it will affect someone other than yourself. Forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting what someone did. It doesn’t mean accepting the behavior or the betrayal. It means letting GO of the hold it has over you. It means moving out and releasing the negative feelings attached to the betrayal so you can live your life at peace.

Here’s a retirement, midlife, empty nest life hack for you - don’t worry so much of your attention on how and why your adult children are spending their resources. Remember, they are their own person, they have autonomy. They are trying to live their lives the best they can. Refrain from trying to insert yourself and offer unsolicited advice. Trust that they’ll figure it out.

Being retired is such a gift. But it can certainly be an adjustment, especially if you and your spouse go from 9-5 life, to suddenly being home together 24/7. Or perhaps you were the stay at home parent who enjoyed a certain amount of time home alone and that has since shifted. Just remember, it’s totally okay to communicate when you need space during this new life season! [you know that I’m making a light joke of this and I love my husband very much 🥰]

This might be hard to hear, but it’s important to find a balance between being vulnerable and honest about our hardships, and wallowing in them to no end. You can hold the truth of your hurts and grief, while still continuing to look for ways to live your life, to find the joy where you can. You don’t want to be the Debbie Downer who people don’t want around because you can’t find one positive thing to say. Find the balance my friend.

This might be hard to hear but part of this season of life, retirement, midlife, the empty nest, is evolving. If you didn’t get an invite, don’t take it too personally. And don’t force an invite - find acceptance and move on.

In this season of retirement and midlife, you don’t have to explain the career, accomplishments, and life you USED to have. You can lean into the life you are creating now and share your excitement about the person you are becoming. It’s great to look back on all we’ve accomplished and done, but don’t make the mistake of dwelling on it. The present moment is what we’ve got, be sure to share what you’ve done today alongside yesterday.

You may not bring every relationship you had into this new season of life, into your midlife and retirement. Those one-sided friendships or closed-minded individuals who aren’t willing to join you as you evolve… you can wish them well and wave goodbye as you do what you need to, to thrive in this new chapter!

Stepping into retirement? Welcome! Being retired looks different for everyone - you’ll likely still incorporate some old habits, hobbies, and friendships, but you might try and make some modifications along the way. This is a new season, challenge yourself to grow and evolve.

Here’s a tip for the retired folks with grandkids - it’s perfectly okay to go to a sports game for your grandchild and just sit there enjoying the game. You don’t have to coach, you don’t have to chime in, you can just support and enjoy!

Retirement and entering midlife doesn’t have to be woo-woo, it can be as simple as drawing awareness to areas of your life that need a shift.
