Discover the power of midlife as a time for growth, renewal, and purpose. Explore how women, as caretakers and creators, can shape a new vision for themselves and the world with resilience and wisdom. Embrace your unique journey, redefine your goals, and find joy in each step.

Traveling goes far beyond exploring new landscapes and experiencing different cultures; it’s a journey of self-discovery and transformation. In the words of George Santayana, travel is both a means to lose and find ourselves. Beyond the familiar narrative presented in newspapers and media, travel offers a unique perspective that sharpens our awareness, challenges our assumptions, and enriches our understanding of the world.

Unfortunately, many people don’t have the resiliency skills to help them reset after a setback, life event, or trauma. The hope is that we can overcome the setbacks and realize our healthy lifestyle can support us through challenging times and help us handle hard situations with more energy and focus. Check out these tips to build resiliency skills to help you navigate ups and downs on your behavior change journey.

Midlife women have shared with us the many challenges they face. Weight changes, changes in their physical body shape, loss of strength and balance, or changes in their metabolism.

They’ve shared feeling achy, having pain, and experiencing a lack of stamina or fatigue which interefered with achieving their exercise and fitness goals. Eating healthfully and getting adequate sleep were also on the list.

They also shared difficulties staying connected and engaged with friends (or the loss of friends) and family due to life transitions. The lack of connection was often described as feelings of loneliness.

Women also felt torn between managing grown children, aging parents, and not having enough personal time to care for themselves.

For many of us, reaching 50 was the moment we asked if there was more to life or wondered if we had a purpose beyond family and work. It's not that we don't love our children, careers, or our families. We have a rumbling that there might be more for us individually in the next half of life. We can use practical tips, tools, and techniques to rethink our rhythm for living well after 50 and managing messy, midlife transitions.

Many women after 50 feel burnt out, stressed, tired of the external pressures, and ready to make a change. But, they’re uncertain how to make work and life transitions at this age. Successful transitions are possible. Reset your mindset, to view them for what they are - exciting. You’re never too old to dream big and take the steps necessary to achieve your goals.

We all have the capacity to be fluid or fixed in our mindset. The growth path is to adapt to certain situations - to allow ourselves to be moved or changed due to our environment, experiences, and creative process. A fluid mindset creates new brain pathways leading to success, improves creativity, and helps growth, which will enable us to deal with the uncertainty ahead. At Rumblings, we believe our prime time and our best accomplishments are still ahead of us. To achieve our goals and make our dreams a reality, abundance, growth, and infinite mindsets are critical.
