Understanding one of the challenges of being in your 55 + years

Where I am?

When we are about to reach 55 ... 60 years old, many of us find ourselves planning a unique special trip, others imagining fun parties to celebrate the very special moment of reaching these figures so significant for many of us. Internally there is an alert we begin to see life with different eyes and in parallel to the desire to celebrate in a big way, unlike other years we realize how our close circle is, our well-known friends and family: some formally retire, others live economic crisis, some get seriously ill, others full of professional projects, family union, multiple couples.

The comparison always reaches us all, the judgment towards ourselves is painful, just when we should be more "strong and stable" for our maturity reached is when we face a body with changes and sometimes with the feeling of having fewer opportunities now in addition to facing situations of change that life brings us at this point.

The Balance of Life (example)

On a scale of 1 to 100, how satisfied do you feel today in these basic areas?

Health: _______%

Relationship: _______%

Children: _______%

Money / Economy: _______%

Spirit and Energy: _______%

Friendships: _______%

Personal projects: _______%

This challenge of making our own personal balance, becoming aware of how satisfied I am in the basic aspects of life. Being in a 90 to 100%, in some areas, good for you. There is also the possibility of finding results below 50, 70% in satisfaction recognizing these figures is the first step to initiate a possible improvement consciously.

Family environment

Innate skills

City, country

Health

Economy

Some of us were aware from the beginning of their lives to know where to go and wondered how, some of our time had parents present with deep talks about life and the path we are going to travel. Most of the time many of us lived on autopilot, looking to survive. Our parents give us models of life which we assume without stopping to think that resonates with me, if that's what we want to repeat, is it worth multiplying this model?

Being your own Lighthouse is a challenge

I hope this reading invites you to review your life make your own evaluation of how life found you at your 55 + years, I do not mean the comparison with others, nor how "we think" is your evaluation of yourself from your friends or from your parents even your partner and children.

You can have 20 + years left and that's a lifetime!!!

I suggest you practice an exercise and answer from Your Look some questions about yourself: Writing by hand (save the result)

Travel through Time - Travel Inward

Answer these questions calmly, letting your intuition guide your hand:

1. From the vision of the child you were:

Is that childhood dream still alive in you?

Did you look for it or integrate it in these years?

2. From the young adult (20-23 years old):

Are you where you imagined in those years or did you make a total turn?

If you made a turn, was it worth it?

Do you feel that you gave importance to a single area of life or did you seek to satisfy the expectations of others?

3. From the adult you are today:

Do you feel comfortable where you are today?

Do you feel that you are on your way or that you are missing something?

Do you feel like you're in time to take a turn?

Where do you want to go?

Discovering our inner strength your value at this stage of the journey can open the door to you to live from another vision.

What little action can you take today so that your life has greater inner coherence at your 55 + years?
