Keep in mind, there may be lots of things that interfere with your ability to prioritize a balanced self-care routine. For example, if you’re a people pleaser, you may quickly put others’ needs first, so you may need to slow down and sometimes say no. Or, if you struggle with guilt, acknowledge the guilt, and remember guilt is when you actually “do” something against your values. Taking action for your well being is doing something right!

Related to all of the myths listed above, some of those beliefs may contribute to developing anxiety, depression, feeling like you’re not enough or resentment towards those you love. It may make it really hard to do anything when you’re feeling that way; yet self-care activities will actually build your sense of self, improve your mood, and likely make you feel more empowered in your day-to-day life.

Creating a balanced self-care routine that you can count on benefits you and the people you love. You’ll feel better and more fulfilled, more present, healthier, and your family, friends, and loved ones will benefit from your energy and enthusiasm! And if it feels too difficult to do it alone, please reach out to me or another mental health professional to guide and support you. Reaching out to a therapist could be your first step to self-care!

Though the idea of being part of the dating pool later in life can seem daunting, it doesn't have to be. In fact, dating in your 40s can (and should!) be a wonderful thing. You're braver, smarter, wiser, and more discerning than you were in your 20s and 30s, which means that finding the right partner can be both a fun and productive experience. Still, there are nuances to be aware of that likely weren't factors when you were dating in your earlier years.

You may not have been as dedicated to your career or had fewer financial responsibilities. You also may not have had the experience of deeper relationships to learn from. But that's not to say these factors can, or will, negatively impact your ability to find the love of your life—especially if you're equipped with the tools you need to date effectively.
