Absolutely agree Vic- taking care of your physical self is the foundation. It gives a sense of accomplishment that leads to sense of well being and mastery as you take on other tasks.

Abby, I've been genuinely surprised to find that my writing has connected with women as well as men. Welcome!

I'm in my 60s and agree with losing the mentality of always trying to lift more. It's more about consistency and sustainability when you get older. Trying to lift more and more until you get injured isn't doing you any favors. Gotta say, however, I will not be giving up my moderate partaking in occasional alcoholic beverages anytime soon...😁.

LOL, I still enjoy my Old Fashioneds. Just not as often as I used to. :)

Hey! You didn't mention kettlebells! haha!

I totally agree. Taking care of your body, your temple, puts you in the right frame of mind. It gives you confidence, allows you to do more, and reminds you that you have control over some aspects of your life and benefit from it when you use it properly.

Excellent post!
