I'm talking about a post that went up last week on Suzanne Somer's Instagram account that received so much praise but the media only focused on one of the few negative comments.

We spend a lot of time focusing on what is wrong with everything in life because that is what we are programmed to do, but it's your choice to change your thoughts.

Don't kid yourself into thinking you don't have the control over your mind to focus on the good in an instant and let go of the bad.

After the (Midlife) BUZZ Wears Off

I'm talking about the physical and mental symptoms that happen to us after we get to the other side of the BUZZ.

The physical and mental symptoms:

• You don't remember if you insulted someone or hurt someone's feelings
• You don't care if you did
• You pass out only to wake up in a sweat and panic and can't fall back to sleep
• You have cotton mouth
• Dry skin
• Headaches
• You overeat because you are dehydrated
• In the middle of life - your perimenopause is elevated.
• Anxiety is ELEVATED.
• Depression
• Forgetfulness
• Shame
• Embarrassment
• Disappointment
• REALITY HITS YOU IN THE FACE!
• Repeat after me: NO AMOUNT OF ALCOHOL WILL TAKE AWAY YOUR REALITY.

Episode 60

Do You Need a Midlife EDIT?

Who or what do I want, and need to walk away from? Walking away doesn't have to be dramatic or a declaration spouted on social media.

You choose what you want, then you silently take a step back, then another, then another, until you feel better. Until you feel happier.

I say it all of the time, time is going fast. You can't waste it trying to force things in your life.

Topics discussed:

• Editing Social Media
• Walking away from relationships without guilt
• End of life regrets
• Journal prompts to help you decide what no longer serves you
• Having more time when you EDIT your life
• Chapter 3 of my new book Elevate Your Life
