Welcome

If you have landed on this page, then welcome and hello. As the blog title suggests, this is a shared space for navigating the murky avenue of ‘midlife’.   I created this blog, so that I can share with you, all the weird and wonderful things I have trialled, adopted and dabbled in, during this strange transitioning time of life. My life now, looks 100% opposite, to how it was 5-10 years ago. There was a significant period of change for me and in all honesty, my transforming is still evolving. I’m now in a place where I accept that life is a continuous journey and we all have a story to tell, so that we can share, learn and support each other. Let me get straight to it – my roles have changed, my body (internal and external) have changed, my outlook of life has changed, what I place importance on has changed, my relationships have changed, my relationship with myself has changed and my priorities have changed. Please use this platform to recognise that you are not alone and we...

There was a significant period of change for me and in all honesty, my transforming is still evolving. I’m now in a place where I accept that life is a continuous journey and we all have a story to tell, so that we can share, learn and support each other.

Let me get straight to it – my roles have changed, my body (internal and external) have changed, my outlook of life has changed, what I place importance on has changed, my relationships have changed, my relationship with myself has changed and my priorities have changed.

Please use this platform to recognise that you are not alone and we can all learn from one another. My journey is unique (as is yours) but lets embrace our uniqueness to ‘discover’!!

Keep a track on further posts, where you will discover; crazy health fads, confused fashion, different concepts of spirituality, daily fact finds, reflections from the past and a daily dose of muddling through my mid-life.

Acceptance in Midlife

Embracing Your Uniqueness Recognising and accepting who we are as unique individuals, will be a very different experience and journey, for us all. If 'at all', for some people! What I do know from personal experience, is that some of my own acceptances have come from intentional work that I've embarked on, along with some developed 'wisdom' that has come with age. Both of these routes for self-acceptance are an evolving journey that I continue to 'allow' to support my health and wellness. Recognising My Uniqueness For me, my first step in accepting 'me' and my life's journey so far, has been to stop and intentionally recognise myself. As an individual being, I sit within a broad and complex matrix of people, cultures, societies, beliefs and values. All of these things shape who we are and influence our identity and sense of belonging. At times these factors can directly challenge our 'natural' way of being and push the boundaries of what ...

Spiritual Journey in Midlife

Discovering My Spiritual Self I've always considered myself a spiritual person, not in the sense of 'religious' but rather having a deeper sense of something 'bigger' than we can comprehend with our human logical brains. It's only been since my children have grown and I'm no longer preoccupied with the day to day parenting responsibilities, that I've rekindled my curiosity of spirituality and what it means for me now. I started meditating and practicing yoga around 6 years ago and I had some really profound experiences when meditating that triggered a feeling of there being something else, greater than what modern day science could capture. This led me to reading lots of books from renowned individuals that were trying to bridge the gap between science and spirituality. My favourite authors have been: Deepak Chopra, Eckhart Tolle, Dr Joe Dispenza, Michael Singer and Daniel J Seigel. All of whom, have written and discussed in great detail, concepts relati...

Introverted

Personality Traits I've known that I am introverted for as long as I've known the word. What I've come to better understand as I've aged, is that there's so much misconception about this personality type. For some reason in our western culture, being introverted is somehow perceived as a negative trait. With a biased assumption of extroverts being more outgoing, sociable and ultimately 'successful'.  I would argue, as with most things, there's pro's and cons, to both these personality types. Equally, the perception of positive and negative traits will be highly dependent on our individual values. Additionally, many individuals may exhibit a mixture of these traits, so things aren't quite as clear cut as the 'label's' suggest. Introverted Personality Introverted and extroverted are more like a spectrum of traits. For me, its' very clear cut where my personality type lies. I would describe myself as a 'typical' introvert. I ...
