Shall I start ...

  • I have been aware for a while that I have developed a new habit of carrying my ready readers (new to wearing glasses post 45) on the top of my head when not in use. If I have sunglasses that day too, hanging them off my clothes!!! And realising this is not a good look, I am trying to be better at not doing that.
  • I have also recently realised that given any opportunity, I lean! This could be on a kitchen counter if I am sending a text for example and near a counter. Instead of just standing, I lean! Also applies to shopping trollies and anything else that can be leant upon! Now I have realised, I have stopped!

Any other examples I should be aware of and on the lookout for? What new behaviours do we adopt as we just get mehhhhh about life and how we present ourselves? Disability and illness aside of course.

I slump. I need to make an effort to get my shoulders back.

Have at least 3 cups of tea around the place (all cold), and take way too long to explain why you're calling a contact centre with a few comments about what's happened to you so far that day 😂

The slump is very real too! You can often tell the generation of a woman from how she slumps without any other information required.

Another one for me is questioning if I REALLY need to go upstairs before committing to it. No unnecessary trips.

Buying big comfy knickers, cardigans and woolly socks.
