Good evening peepsπŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•


Taking care of our mental health is essential at any age, and as we reach the age of 50 and beyond, it becomes even more important to check in with ourselves regularly. Just like our physical health, our emotional well-being deserves attention and care. Life can bring about many changes during this time, such as retirement, empty nesting, and shifts in relationships, which can impact our mental health in various ways.


So, let's take a moment to reflect on how we're doing.


How are you feeling today? Are there any concerns or worries that have been on your mind?


Remember, it's okay to not be okay sometimes, and acknowledging our feelings is the first step towards taking care of ourselves.


Furthermore, let's consider how we're coping with life's ups and downs.


What strategies or activities have you found helpful in managing stress? Are there any new hobbies or interests you've been exploring?


Engaging in activities that bring us joy and relaxation can significantly contribute to our mental well-being.

I can't do emoji's from my laptop, not that I know of anyways but I'll do yellow heart.....

How are you feeling today? Are there any concerns or worries that have been on your mind?

ο»Ώο»ΏToday I'm feeling ok. There are medical concerns and worries that have been on my mind for about 6 weeks. My Dr. referred me to a specialist due to the results of some tests I had the first week of April. Of course, due to the American health care system being as *** as it is, I couldn't get in until the third week of June. My Dr told me not to let it worry me but you know how that is....and NEVER EVER google medical things....that doesn't help with the anxiety.....I knew better than to do that, but I wasn't getting the info I thought I should have been getting from either doctors office soooo.....anyway.... I have an appointment next week so hopefully my mind will be at ease after that.

What strategies or activities have you found helpful in managing stress? Are there any new hobbies or interests you've been exploring?

I find that physical activities and exercise help me manage my stress...working out and being in the gym is my happy place......I need that alone time on the bike, treadmill, elliptical or weight pile.....It definitely helps for me. As for new hobbies or interests, no new hobbies, I have a few of those that keep me busy and happy. As for new interests, I've been researching online classes for fitness instructing. I love being in the gym and working out. I would eventually like to become certified in either Spin Instructing, Personal Training, or Health/life coaching, a combination of those or maybe all three. The only reason I haven't pulled the trigger to do any of it, is due to finding the time to do the classes. I have to rearrange some scheduling in my life and right now that would create more stress than I am willing to accept.

So sorry to hear regarding the health struggles getting diagnosed. πŸ€— I live in Canada and it can be slow getting diagnosed. Thinking of you and please update how your appointment goes next week.


Yes don’t google makes anxiety worse agree.


I love the activities that decrease stress … yes why not get certified super fun. I taught Moving for Health classes and deep and shallow water aerobics long ago and I absolutely loved it. πŸ’― percent. It is a great sense of community and brings lots of JOY. ✨✨✨✨

The leading of classes does add more expectation … when there is less stress might be better time to dive in. Until then glad you are figuring it out the possibilities … πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•
