8 Ways to Step up in Uncertain Times

What can we, as “emerging elders”, offer during these uncertain times? I believe strongly that we all have a part to play, and that the changes we can make start with us. This episode - the first in Season 2 of the Midlife Movement Podcast - outlines 8 suggestions for how we as “emerging elders” can step up in the face of calamity, both personal and global.

1. MODEL RESILIENCE
2. REVIEW YOUR BELIEFS 
3. VARY YOUR SOURCES OF INFORMATION 
4. SEEK OUT THOSE WHOSE EXPERIENCE OF LIFE DIFFERS FROM YOURS 
5. LISTEN WITHOUT THINKING OF A REPLY
6. LET GO OF THE NEED TO BE RIGHT
7. CHECK YOUR THOUGHTS
8. KNOW BETTER, BE BETTER

About the Midlife and Beyond Podcast.  

Like all transitions, midlife can be messy and sad and glorious all at once, leaving many midlife women feeling rather alone and somewhat invisible. But what does this transition we are experiencing lead to?  

I'm Jo Blackwell, a photographer, author and coach for women who want more from their lives post 50, and I'm here to remind you that if we manage our health and embrace it, growing older can lead to one of the greatest periods of growth and transformation of our lives.  

The Midlife Movement was created to change minds about midlife and growing older, one story at a time. Because we only become invisible when when we stop seeing ourselves.  email jo@joblackwell.co.uk to take part in the podcast or suggest guests.
