5: Who Are You Listening To About Aging?

Sometimes, the influences in midlife slip in like background music. They set the tone and tempo night and day. 

They can be upbeat and positive, like the music at a theme park that makes you want to run straight to the first ride you see.

Or they can be dark and ominous, like in a scary movie when it’s time to cover your eyes.

You might not notice what’s playing in the background of midlife or when the message subtly changes. But there’s no doubt about it. Who and what you listen to impacts how you think and feel about aging.

When you listen too long to the wrong voices, you’ll find yourself believing things about midlife that just aren’t true.

Let’s talk about how to identify and tune out the negative messages and how to tune in to the truth that growing older isn’t a scary problem to be solved. It’s a gift to be nurtured, celebrated and enjoyed.
