The Freedom to Redesign Your MidLife!

Positive action following separation, grief or simply to mark a new phase in your midlife.

Each New Year I am determined to let a part of me go, to make space for the new me to emerge. But why wait for the New Year? Make it a point that on the 1st of each month you ‘let a little go’. It could be something tangible like clothes that no longer ‘spark joy’ or represent a different you, letting go of negative people who waste your time and don’t support you, letting go of the idea that you ‘aren’t good at tech’ …. or it could be making a newer and healthier routine whilst giving up on the things that do not serve the future you.

Do you remember what you did last New Year’s Eve….that was over 9 months ago - it’s nearly Christmas again. Now imagine how it will feel to look backwards and have wasted another year if you don’t move forward with your goals. ☹️

What are you waiting for?

Tip #1 - Each day either throw out, repurpose or give away ONE thing that no longer defines you!

Connect with it by either trying it on, sitting with it and examining it, or by 'feeling the feels' associated with the object. If it doesn't make you absolutely fantastic - get rid of it. Don't even dwell on it. Wrong colour, size, shape - get rid of it. Books no longer represent you because you have 'moved on' - donate them and fill your shelves with self-growth and positivity! That ornament someone gave you that was expensive - does it truly bring you joy? Give it away if not!

Tip #2 - Put it in your diary that you spend half an hour on the 1st of the month deciding what you want to be, give, look like or feel like that month.

What do you need to INTRODUCE into your life. And tell people. Commit to it. Make a little ceremony of it.

Imagine how it will feel to look backwards and connect the dots and feel the accomplishment.

Tip #3 - Redesign a room!

When my husband was killed in a motorcycle accident in 2021, I needed to have a room that hugged me and consoled me, yet simultaneously freed me and inspired me to live a new life. No doubt the neighbours thought I was uncaring as load after load of furniture left the house and new couches and rugs arrived. But I didn't care. I needed to be busy and I needed to have forward momentum. I knew grief would come in waves but in between I wanted with all my heart to have a place to grow, cocoon, launch me and also be waiting for me. I'd never had that - somewhere that was truly ME to be as I pleased.

Tip #4 - Mix it up

Try different blog formats each time. One month, post a day in the life, then try a How-To or a Q&A. There are many templates to help you get started.

Tip #5 - Finish strong

Don’t Forget to Add a Closing Statement

Keep it short. Restate your main point and tell your readers what you want them to do next. Don’t be shy. Just tell them: Buy Now, Click Here, Read This, and link to it. You can also invite them to leave a comment below your post.
