Turning 60: 5 Lessons Learned, #3

Turning 60: 5 Lessons Learned continues with:

It’s different for everyone.

Duh! Yes, I know this is obvious and I  bruised myself a bit before I really got it.

Different ages challenge different women. Some it’s 30, some 50, some never. (At least not yet, only time will tell if that changes.)

I was one of the “nevers” until 60. And I wasn’t very happy with myself for being bothered about something so insignificant. Especially when other women seemed to be doing fine.

So, for a while, I added judging myself into my nasty stew of approaching 60. That really helped. Not!

What worked for me was:

1) Realizing what I was doing to myself,

2) Stopping the comparisons to others who were not bothered, and

3) Starting a business for women like me.  This has been especially fun and helpful!

I hope you won’t all start your own Savoring Your Sixties businesses :)  but that you will accept yourself and whatever you’re experiencing. And stop wasting energy comparing yourself to others.
