56: Age Well & Accomplish More in Midlife & Beyond with Janet McConnell
Age Well & Accomplish More in Midlife & Beyond with Janet McConnell
Author Series
In today’s episode, I talk with Janet McConnell, speaker, fitness coach, and author of Elements of Aging Well. She assists and inspires women to look beyond what society tells them about aging, to embrace it, and instead rewrite the rules of aging despite what society believes.
Today’s episode discusses how Janet changed the direction of her life, tips on how to incorporate changes in your life that will benefit you in the future, her tips to become the best version of yourself, and how she brought this message into a book as a first-time author.
Some top tips …
Learn what works for you and what you enjoy doing. Find a sport or activity that you enjoy and that will motivate you to reach your fitness goals. Appreciate the small victories that come with your journey and reward yourself by setting more goals along the way.
Surround yourself with people who have the same goals as you. As your mindset and boundaries develop, so do your friendships. Even though it will be challenging, it will make a significant difference in your mindset and your ability to achieve your goals.
Don't be afraid to step outside your comfort zone and make the necessary changes in your life; it's never too late to begin. In the words of Janet, "It's not over until it's over."
