A positive approach to aging
It’s never too late to start over, rethink, try something new, and if you feel you need an extra boost of confidence to do this, or even if it’s made you think about hypnotherapy generally, let me know.

I’ve recently had cause to think about role models; I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase ‘you have to see it to be it’ and this really landed with me this month. I’m approaching a milestone birthday and starting to hear friends and colleagues talking about retirement. This isn’t on my agenda, but this can sometimes feel like I’m out of step. Then I had 2 interactions that reminded me of ongoing possibilities that have nothing to do with age.


My amazing Aunt, who is 80, still lives independently and walks her dog daily has just returned from a holiday with friends in Spain, and is planning a cross-country train journey (to attend the birthday) regardless of some significant health issues.


The second reminder came from an invitation to celebrate an 80th birthday – this time for a woman with the sharpest mind I know. She chairs more committees than many people half her age, and when asked how and why she keeps so busy, brushes it off with ‘well otherwise I’d have to do the housework!’


Although this is anecdotal it reminded me of an amazing book I read a few years ago; ‘The 100 Year Life’ explores this as a concept, suggesting that children born in the West today have more than a 50% chance of living to be over 105! The implications of this are widespread, but the biggest take-away for me was that if you’re around the 50 mark, you really aren’t anywhere near the end of your life, in fact you’re only half way through! Which might make you need to sit down for a moment!


The reason for these musings really is to just let you know that it’s never too late to start over, rethink, try something new, and if you feel you need an extra boost of confidence to do this, or even if it’s made you think about hypnotherapy generally, let me know.
