How to Take Care of Yourself During Lockdown

Comment

The lockdown has definitely made things harder for many people, especially those over 50. From the clubs and events being canceled to most over the age of 50 being at the greatest risk of serious health issues if contracting COVID-19, many have not left the house. But, taking care of yourself during this time is imperative. That’s because a healthy body will keep you around longer, and there is a lot that you can do. We’ll go over a few ways to take care of yourself both physically and mentally during this time, so you’re happy and healthy. Eat Right The first thing is to eat right.

“I’m not going into my fifties quietly!” says Amy White

Comment

Article by Amy White “I’m not going into my fifties quietly!” This has been my deepest knowing as I approached this milestone in my life. And this motto has been evolving for the past decade. Turning forty felt empowering, like a new way of coming home to myself, but as I’ve approached my 50th birthday, this feeling of freedom has taken on a deeper resonance. While many of us are conditioned to believe that a woman’s value is defined, at least in part, by her age, completely and wholeheartedly embracing this milestone is an act of love and revolution. The difference in this new chapter is that in the past, the desire to become a more authentic version of myself felt a bit forced. While there was shifting in my...

Befriending the Coronavirus

Comment

Article by Serge Beddington-Behrens Ph.D Times have undoubtedly been tough over the last few months, especially if you live alone, feeling like you must walk the other way whenever a ‘mask-less’ person approaches, you can’t just go out and meet friends for a drink or a hug (knowing if we do, we may be risking our lives) and not knowing if our old jobs will ever return. We’re not, as some suggest, ‘all in it together’. The impact of this virus has been much tougher on some of us than on others. What I’ve come to see is that disasters act as magnifiers or intensifiers. If our lives had anyway been a bit insecure emotionally or financially, or if we were anyway feeling...

How to Celebrate Valentine’s Day as a Single Person

Comment

Article by Dr Tony Ortega Ah, Valentine’s Day. The one day of the year coupled individuals are forced by this weird societal norm to do something special for their partner/romantic interest. The singles sit on the sidelines feeling left out and less than; beating themselves up for being single. We, as single individuals, need to challenge this. First, let’s take a look at the history of Valentine’s Day. Its origins date back to Roman times in which fertility was celebrated and women were paired off to men by way of lottery as the festival of Lupercalia. Towards the end of the fifth century, Lupercalia was replaced with St. Valentines. There is no real identified person that was St. Valentine. There is a legend of a...

Reinventing Yourself Over 50 – The French Way: Part One

Comment

Article by Meredith Keeve a.k.a. The Wandering Parisian France, and particularly French women – of a certain age – give us valuable insight, and set useful examples of how to tackle the health, wealth or emotional challenges of the years ahead. French culture is very strong, and French history an important factor in French life, and this history includes a very rugged streak of individualism, a kind of refusal to accept, a desire to fight for the things you believe in (welcome to the strikes we all know about!). France’s most iconic women from Simone de Beauvoir to Catherine Deneuve or Jeanne Moreau have all been completely independent thinkers, each one – in a sense – happily selfish, making sure her choices...

How to be Fab over Fifty (and Under)

Comment

By Will Hussey, Gavin Oattes and Dr Andy Cope There was a time when you oozed. You oozed with vitality, vim and vigour. In short, you oozed with life. You were alive – not just living and breathing but, well – lively. Trust us: You (Version 1a) were a bundle of spritely enthusiasm packaged in recyclable, re-chargeable packaging. But times have changed, I hear you say. The world is different, not like the good old days. Of course, even the good old days aren’t like how the good old days used to be. But maybe it was simpler back then. You went to work (or not) and returned home to more work, housework or a Kit-Kat. But at least you escaped from the working day. These days, there’s no...

How we create our own obstacles and how to leap over them…

Comment

Article by Georgia Varjas “It is your right to question everything.” We are all born with a talent and/or creative genius. It may be a gift you have tingling in your soul to sing, paint or write. Perhaps, you’re desire is to communicate and lead, or it could be to mend, fix or repair, even care, love and give. I believe we all have natural abilities. And, I am also aware of how we down-grade ourselves and often conceal our natural gifts and talents. From an early age, codes, regulations and laws hold us back and keep us trapped in low-esteem jobs and painful relationships, while filling our heads with complexes and inhibitions. We end up hiding our natural talents, playing small...
