When I was in my early 50s I was a lot like you.
I was totally stuck, overwhelmed and lost. It was bad, so bad that I was caught up in a dark depression that lasted two years.
I had no idea how to get out of this lonely, black hole and start enjoying my work and life again.
After months of hesitation I QUIT my job - as the leader of my own business.
I had worked thousands of hours pushing myself through personal limits limits to create a business I could be proud of. But my need to be successful, and meet the expectations of others, had severely damaged my health.
Then I realised that the one thing I must do was to take full responsibility for ALL aspects of my life.
I had compromised myself so badly, both mentally and physically, that I couldn't heal.
I needed to be guided by my heart and intuition rather than doing what I thought everyone expected of me.
I had to stop living by ‘other people’s rules’!
If I was going to be true to myself, get well and stop worrying about what others thoughts - there were many things I needed to QUIT!
Fundamentally I needed to quit suppressing my ideas and dreams and start doing what I knew was right for me.
As I stopped to compromising myself, I found new ways to live and be.
My naturally curious mind explored different ways to live my life, and shifting my mindset opened me up possibilities that I had no know idea existed.
Today I live a simple life, not limited by others’ expectations.
Over recent years this has included global backpacking adventures with international travel organised around house-sitting or home-swap gigs, attending and working at retreats, and many leisurely road trips.
I’ve also explored and implemented alternative income streams, and adopted a minimalist lifestyle in our simple home at the beach.
Quitting the things that were holding me back means I’m not longer beset by depression and anxiety.
Today I’m living my dream, free of the expectations and demands of others. I truly value my freedom and guard my well-being fiercely.
I think carefully about the contribution I want to make to the world including having a low impact on the environment and living with grace and kindness.
By practicing mindfulness I have learned how to redirect my energy, draw on my strengths and create a life where I can follow my dreams.
And as my life changed I felt called to help women over 50 so they could also feel unstoppable, empowered and valued.
IF I CAN DO IT SO CAN YOU!
