But my anxiety robs me of the ability to be present in the moment and fully experience the joy in what I’m doing. It also made me take a look at how I approach everything.Īnd at the effect my anxiety has on every single thing I do. This diagnosis made me upset, worried, and grateful all at the same time. Especially the diagnosis of my two grandchildren. I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting – the events of this spring on the heels of the pandemic did something to me – something that is hard for me to put into words. What Led to My Decision to Work on Being Present Not a big problem, I know, but stressful nonetheless.Īnd two of my grandchildren were diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes within months of each other. This spring, my husband and I purchased a beach home which is turning into a much more involved project than we were ready for. That blog and its community of women was more of a godsend than I could have imagined.
I did this shortly before the world shut down with a global pandemic. I began to pursue my lifelong dream of writing, and set up my website and blog, Life Balance After 50. In the past two and a half years, I’ve made the decision to fade out of a career that I loved because it was becoming more difficult to do every day as I got older (a hard fact to face). As a 60-year-old woman who has experienced anxiety in some form since the age of six, it’s been an intense couple of years.
