It's Never Too Late to Go After Your Dreams: How to Rediscover Your Passions and Pursue Your Goals at Any Age

Do you ever feel like it's too late to achieve your dreams and goals? That ship has sailed, right? Wrong! I'm here to tell you that it's never too late to rediscover what brings you joy and passion in life.

This powerful three-step framework will help you re-ignite your inner fire and start taking steps toward the life you desire. This process has helped me and countless others exit the cycle of self-doubt and limiting beliefs and start living life to the fullest.

Step 1: Tell Yourself the Truth

Be honest with yourself - do you still want to achieve this goal or dream? It's perfectly normal and healthy to let go of aspirations that no longer fit who you are. The key is checking in with your true desires.

An insightful exercise is to make a list of the best moments in your life and categorize them into experiences, relationships, accomplishments, and objects. What category has the most tallies? This brings awareness to what really matters to you.

Step 2: Ignite Curiosity

Get curious about what would make achieving this goal easier or harder for you. Use B.J. Fogg's "Ability Chain" - time, money, physical effort, mental effort - to ask yourself empowering questions. This honesty allows you to uncover obstacles and solutions.

Step 3: Start Testing

Take action by testing strategies and behaviors to address the obstacles you identified. View setbacks as data to learn from. Return to Steps 1 and 2 as needed to adjust your approach. With persistence, you can design a path to success.  

No matter your age or past, you have so much life yet to live. Follow these steps to rediscover your passions, boost resilience, and make your dreams a reality. I believe in you!

Kristine, leveraging her vast experience in wellness workshops and her certification in behavior design, shares her unique insights and thought-provoking perspectives on aging.

In their engaging discussion, Debi and Kristine reveal how simple lifestyle tweaks can have a profound impact on the quality and longevity of life. Highlights include the ‘triple threat’ of healthy aging — engaging in physical activity, maintaining a whole foods diet, and fostering social connections. They introduce attainable habit strategies that allow anyone to kickstart their journey to age-proof their life, regardless of their current age or physical condition.

Key Takeaways:

• Social connectedness is a vital ingredient for healthy aging, possibly contributing up to eight additional healthy years to one's life. It encompasses aspects like a sense of purpose, feelings of belonging, spiritual practices, reasons for waking up each morning, and the state of personal relationships.
• Regular movement and a diet consisting primarily of whole foods each have the potential to add up to four healthy years to one's life.
• Small steps or simple lifestyle habit changes play a significant role in introducing and sustaining new routines focused on healthy aging and social connectedness.
• Age is not a barrier to learning new skills or developing healthy habits; in fact, it is never too late to start embarking on these practices.
• Prioritizing self-investment and self-love are paramount for promoting overall well-being and form the basis of effective healthy aging strategies.

What are Age ANTs?

Age ANTs are the unconscious, negative thoughts we have about growing older. Common examples include "I'm too old to try new things" and "Every ache means the worst."

Why do ANTs Matter?

Left unchecked, ANTs shape how we see the world and limit our actions. Debi explains how the brain seeks to validate thoughts, directing focus. This impacts feelings and behaviors.

Recognizing Your Own ANTs  

Debi guides visualizing ANTs as separate from ourselves. See them as tiny ants crawling on sentences apart from you. This gives the power to choose different perspectives.

Questioning Deeply Held Beliefs

Some ANTs feel completely true, but asking if all people agree reveals them as stories, not facts. Writing thoughts down helps objectively analyze what's belief versus reality.

Shifting to Supportive Thoughts

Notice which thoughts inspire your dreams or hold you back. Intentionally choose thoughts that support goals rather than ANT-dictated limitations. You have control over your perspective.

My desire is for you to pause….give yourself the chance to percolate on this. Be Sherlock-like and ignite curiosity.

The reason I want you to stop believing your past should have been different is because when we’re past-focused we can start to feel “meh” about life. Being past-focused can make life feel like you’re pushing a big bolder up a really steep mountain. A struggle, something to survive.

As you start to flip the script, start to focus on the future life becomes exciting and compelling.

I also want to be real with you here on this podcast. Teaching your brain new ways of believing is work. It’s ongoing. It takes being willing to feel all the feels, being present with yourself, thinking about your thinking, and deciding on purpose what you want to think.

In honor of ADHD awareness month, I'm bringing you a special episode.

When you've got ADHD, getting support can be a traumatic experience.

It can be hard to describe what's happening for you.....

You can feel ashamed that you're not able to "get it together" like other people seem to be able to. 

Today's podcast is a conversation between myself and my dear friend Jennifer.  Jennifer is a self-proclaimed rebel, a stand-up comedian, and a former comedy club owner. She had always embraced her ‘party girl’ status as a badge of honor until the ramifications of her drinking and her impulsive lifestyle became destructive and unmanageable.

When Jennifer was diagnosed with adult ADHD in her 40s she realized that she had spent more than 20 years self-medicating her symptoms with alcohol. Drinking was the easiest and fastest way to shut off the constant chatter in her brain. She also discovered that alcohol abuse among people with ADHD is much more common than it is in people without the condition.

Jennifer and I both have ADHD. We're sharing our story. Sharing things that have worked for us and opening up the conversation so others don't feel so alone. 

So, take a listen and let me know what you think. I know this is an important discussion for both the person with ADHD as well as the person who loves someone with ADHD. 

The doors to Busy Being Flawsome are officially open! If you’re ready to get off of the hamster wheel of thinking, feeling like, and believing you're not good enough while hanging out with other women exiting the shame train, creating radical self-acceptance, and breaking through barriers, join us right now! 

All this kind of thinking does is make us quit going after what we want the second something goes wrong.

Life is filled with quitting. We just aren't taught which quitting is good for us and which quitting is holding us back. Most of us associate quitting with being "bad." We only do it when things fall apart. We quit because we run out of willpower, we overdrink alcohol, overeat food, do some retail therapy or binge-watch TV after a bad day, or when we don’t do things perfectly. 

None of those things are worth quitting over. 
Listen to the episode to learn what you need to quit in order to stop feeling "meh" about life and start flipping that script in your head about what's possible for you in this season of life. 

And, do me a favor after you listen. Take a screenshot, post why you loved it on social media, and tag me on Twitter
