In this episode, I recount my recent scare with blurred vision and the subsequent diagnosis of a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD). This eye condition, while frightening, provided me with invaluable lessons about self-care, patience, and the importance of listening to our bodies. Join me as I share how this health scare became a moment of true grace and reinforced the need to respect our limits during midlife. 5 Key Lessons:1. Acknowledge Every Sign: Health issues demand immediate attention, especially when they can escalate quickly. Don't ignore what your body is telling you. 2. Pace Yourself: Midlife is a time to balance reflection with mindful action, giving ourselves permission to slow down when needed. 3. Embrace Uncertainty: Life doesn't always come with clear answers. Sometimes, we have to accept uncertainties and trust the process.4. Redefine Success: Success in midlife isn't about keeping up with past paces but about adjusting our definitions and expectations to fit our evolving selves.5. Self-Compassion as Strength: Being kind to ourselves, especially during challenges, is not just beneficial but essential. It helps us grow and find peace amidst unpredictability.
