The L.I.F.E. Process: Embracing Ageless Living

Aging is inevitable. It’s a journey we all embark on from the moment we’re born. But what if, instead of fearing or resenting the changes, we embraced them as an opportunity for reinvention and radiant living?

I’m here to tell you that at 70, I don’t feel “old.” Not in the way society has conditioned us to believe. And you don’t have to either.

I’ve created She Dares, Radiant Bold Aging to inspire women to cast off society’s outdated notions of aging and step into a life that celebrates ageless living. It’s about honouring our bodies, embracing our wisdom and radiant beauty, and living with wild abandon.

L.I.F.E. – Your Blueprint for Ageless Living

At the heart of this philosophy is my four-step L.I.F.E. process, a nourishing and stimulating container designed to help you create and live the life you dream of:

  1. LOVE: Fall deeply in love with yourself – every wrinkle, every laugh line, every bit of your unique journey. Let love be the foundation of how you interact with the world and everyone and every thing in it.
  2. ILLUMINATE: Shine a light on your inner world, exploring both your shadows and your light. Embrace your whole self – the messy, beautiful, complex human being you are today.
  3. FLOW: Surrender resistance and allow yourself to flow with the current of life. It’s an ever-changing river, full of energy and excitement. Your willingness to ride the waves will make it an exhilarating adventure throughout your lifetime!
  4. EMBRACE: Open your arms wide to change, ambiguity, and everything that makes you, YOU. Each new chapter is an opportunity for growth and transformation. Each new gem you uncover within you adds sparkle and light to the world around you.

Why a Container Like L.I.F.E. Matters

Think of L.I.F.E. as a compass guiding you through uncharted territory. It provides a framework for self-discovery, empowerment, and ageless living. It’s not just a process; it’s a mindset. It’s a declaration that you’re ready to rewrite your story, casting off limitations and embracing the radiant, bold woman you were born to be.

Untangling the Threads: Breaking Free from Negative Self-Talk

Have you ever paused to count the negative thoughts that flit through your mind each day? You know the ones: “I can’t…” “What’s wrong with me?” “I just don’t get it.” “Nobody likes me.”

Our minds are a whirlwind of activity, generating an estimated 60,000-80,000 thoughts daily. The unsettling part? Roughly 80% of those thoughts are negative. Yes, even if you consider yourself a positive thinker, a subconscious stream of negativity likely runs beneath the surface.

But here’s the good news: Awareness is the first step towards freedom. By identifying these negative thought patterns, we empower ourselves to make a conscious choice to disempower them.

Moving from unaware to aware to actively choosing a different path is a transformative journey. It requires self-discovery, vulnerability, and a fierce desire to break through the barriers that hold us back. It’s about moving from “playing small” to living our dreams in vibrant, technicolor glory.

3 Simple Steps to Untangle the Threads:

  1. Identify: Start by noticing your negative thoughts. Write them down when they arise. Look for patterns – What triggers them? What themes emerge? Common culprits include “all-or-nothing” thinking, catastrophizing, and disqualifying the positive.
  2. Reframe: Challenge those negative thoughts. Are they really true? What evidence do you have to support them? Can you think of alternative, more positive interpretations? For example, instead of “I’m a failure,” try “I’m learning and growing through this experience.”
  3. Step Away: Don’t engage in a battle with your thoughts. When negativity arises, acknowledge it, reframe it if possible, and then let it drift away. Try visualizing yourself stepping away from those thoughts or imagine them floating away like leaves on a stream.

Remember, this is a process. Be patient and kind to yourself. Each time you catch a negative thought, you’re strengthening your ability to choose a more positive path.

Are you ready to untangle the threads of your inner critic and embrace a brighter, more empowered mindset?
