New mindset - let’s go

I’ve decided to be proactive in changing my mindset. I recently posted about my long commute and how tired I am at almost 50.

I’ve decided today is the day I’m going to be more positive. The fact that I am 50, working in a very influential role, is to be proud off.

The chaos of fame life is a privilege and age is something that brings wisdom and a secret of expectation

Typing this here to say it out loud and hold myself to account

i have a lot to be grateful for.

Sounds like a good idea. Evaluate it every six months or so and make sure everything is still working well for you.

Yes that is my mindset. Nothing is forever and this is a chapter albeit a hard one.
we continue!

I needed to find a thread like this. My commute is about to change to a 50 min drive from a 15 minute one. Everyone thinks I’ll hate it and I’m struggling to keep positive about trying it. People have worse problems than a boring drive.
If it doesn’t work I will look for another job. Change is hard when you’re menopausal and I am giving myself a good talking to every day!
