THE DIFFICULT DAYS OF AUTUMN
Because we're in them right now....
Dear lovely readers
Welcome to the latest edition of the 45 Not Out newsletter. And an especial welcome to any the new lot of subscribers I’ve had. It means a lot that you put enough trust in me to sign up to the newsletter and I hope my random ramblings resonate with you!
My ramblings for this edition has been influenced by a couple of conversations I’ve had with a couple of those fab, sassy women who are part of the 45 Not Out community.
In our chats, they mentioned that just over the last few weeks, they’ve had times (if not days) when it’s all they could do just to sit on the sofa and watch TV. And this is from women who are doing great things and helping to change the perception of women in their mid and later years. Normally these women are fountains of energy and leading the way for change, so they couldn’t understand what was wrong with them.
Well, I could.
A big factor is the time of year. I always think the last 3 months of the year are the hardest months to get through. Every year, time and again, I’ve witnessed it for myself and seen how this difficult time of year has affected others around me. The usual amounts of energy and motivation seem to be difficult to obtain and we feel a bit numb to all that’s going on around us.
You see, there’s a perfectly good explanation to it, and I remember it was explained best to me by a very good yoga teacher I had some time ago.
So, what did she advise. Read on below….
