I love following health and wellness individuals on social media. I love running and yoga blogs and podcasts. I am slightly obsessed with them, actually. But, as I was scrolling through my feeds yesterday, and getting new “Follow” suggestions, from whatever social media app I was on, I realized, that most of the existing people I follow, along with the new suggestions, are all people much younger than myself. And, it started to bother me...what message does that deliver to those of us 50+?
For those of us 50+, with limited, to no one, in our age range to follow, does that mean that we aren’t concerned with health and wellness? Are we technologically challenged, so we don’t create a forum for others to follow? Would we rather just post about our aches, pains, medications we are taking, and potential surgeries we are having? I am perplexed, and intrigued, all at once.
So, maybe it is time to be the change I want to see; to represent the 50+. I enjoy sharing what is working for me, and I hope that it sparks something with others. By sharing, it also helps to keep me motivated and on track (confession time, something that I haven’t been for a while now). When I am out of my “mode,” boy, am I out of my mode!
With all this being said, Fall is here...temperatures are cooling, and it’s time to dust off the running plan and get back to it. It’s time to look at when I felt really, really good and what was the secret sauce, at that time. Running, yoga and balanced nutrition are the keys for me. What is your secret sauce?
Until next time.
