20 Tips for living the Good Life after 50 ( 1 to 10 )

BY  

A little list for living the good life

  1. Surround yourself with people who laugh.
  2. Try always to make people feel good about themselves.
  3. Do something good for the planet on a daily basis.
  4. Children left home? Keep busy. Nothing ages you more than inactivity or disinterest.  Join a club, get a job or volunteer.
  5. I read this somewhere the other day, and I have to agree. At the exact date you turn 55 you will develop a muffin top just above your trouser line. Don’t ask me why, it just happens. So plan your wardrobe accordingly and stop fretting about it.
  6. Enjoy your home, enjoy your clothes, enjoy baking and entertaining while you still have energy and youthful-ish looks – make the most of your attributes.
  7. When I was 20 I didn’t like my face or my body. When I was 30 I thought how good and how unwrinkled I looked at 20. When I was 40 I couldn’t believe how slim and fit I looked at 30. Now I’m over fifty I realize that how I look today is as good as it’s going to get and I’m grateful for that.
  8. Try not to interfere in your grown-up children’s lives, but be there for them and always be supportive. Don’t offer advice unless asked for it.
  9. Ask your grown up children for advice – they know more than you might give them credit for.
  10. Nightclubs are for twenty to thirty somethings. Don’t go. Not even for a laugh.
