WEEK 15 - the power of supporting our elders
1) Increased Life Expectancy: those who actively engage in social interactions with family members tend to have a higher likelihood of living longer compared to those who remain isolated.
2) Improved immunity: As immune systems typically weaken with age, the presence and support of families ultimately contributes to the strengthening of immunity.
3) Boost mental health - Regular interactions with family members and the reassurance of being cared for can significantly reduce feelings of depression and contribute to a more positive mental well-being.
4) Assure life satisfaction: love, support, and encouragement from family members has the power to elevate self-esteem and confidence, fostering a more optimistic perspective on life.
Who else enjoys spending time with the older generation?

DOES THE FEAR OF THE EYE-ROLL STOP YOU? One of the most self-destructive things you can do is allow other people’s opinions to control you. Taking midlife action so often attracts negative reactions from those afraid to take action themselves. For a more in depth chat around this topic and how it especially impacts us ‘midlifers’ listen on Apple/Spotify podcasts or watch us on YouTube. #midlifecrisis #midlifemindset #midlifecoach #midlifecouple

WEEK 14 - a tribute and reminder
As well as being highly regarded by many, including me, Dr Michael Mosley was known for his simple tips on how to live a healthier lifestyle, which he explored in his books and podcast “Just One Thing”.
I couldn’t let the week pass without paying my own short tribute with a reminder to us all about the power of taking small steps to make a big difference to our lives.
Rest in peace @michael_mosley172 you will be greatly missed but your legacy will live on.

WEEK 12 - MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS WEEK
Exercise is good for mind and body. One of my 5 pillars to help me reach 100 years old and why I’m running a half marathon on 2nd June in support of StateofMindSport.org 🏃🏻♂️

WEEK 9 of my #midlifeto100 journey and feeling refreshed after a few nights of good sleep!
This week I’m talking about #exerciseroutine and #physical_fitness
I am pretty active but I also know that in #midlife we have to be more gentle on our bodies and that is something I am becoming more conscious of.
Michelle encouraged me to join her #yogapractice and #pilatesclasses after feeling huge benefits.
We aim to get in at least 2/3 sessions a week as they have definitely made a positive impact on our overall feeling of physical and mental wellness.
We know it’s not always easy to make it to classes but even a good paced walk in nature can make the biggest difference to how we feel - do you agree?
Let me know what physical activities work for you and your lifestyle in the comments below ⬇️

DO YOU BEAT YOURSELF UP? I DO!We’re endlessly bombarded with what we should be doing to improve our lives. By midlife we are, on the whole, set in our ways so making changes can be extra difficult. Keeping things real to you, realistic to your lifestyle and realistic in terms of timescale is crucial if you want to feel and enjoy the benefit of your efforts. Remember even if you have a wobble, that’s ok! The key is to do what works for YOU not what works for others. Do you agree? Are you tough on yourself? #midlife #midlifejourney #midlifetransformation #midlifewisdom #midlifewellness #midlifeto100
Week 8 of my midlifeto100 journey and I’m telling why @michellewalters_ and I are exhausted but for happy reasons. So we’re entering Week 9 in active recovery mode and trying to recharge the body battery! To start with we’re aiming for a few good nights sleep!
Let me know in the comments how you recover from a heavy weekend and late nights.

Week 7 and it’s 8th April 2024…..this past week I’ve been inspired by the news of John Tinniswood, who at 111 and 224 days was declared the world’s oldest man. He was born in Liverpool and lives close by.
I love the fact that he comes across as a normal sort of man who has enjoyed good things in life. He also likes a good conversation. In my video I mention some of the tips and advice that he has used to explain his long and healthy years.
If you are going to live to 100, let me know something that you will need to do (or not do!) to reach that goal in good health like John.

WHAT WERE YOU DOING 15 YEARS AGO?
On 3rd February 2009, Liverpool born, Honorary Royal Marine Colonel, Andy Grant, was blown up in Afghanistan alongside fellow Royal Marine, Iain Syme.
Andy was just 20 years old when he suffered 27 horrific injuries, was in a coma for 2 weeks, and then told he could no longer have children.
Tough rehabilitation followed before he made the agonising decision to have his seriously injured leg amputated.
As a result of his incredible mindset and resilience Andy he has gone on to become;
· World record holder as the fastest single leg amputee over 10km
· Double gold medal winner at Prince Harry’s Invictus Games going on to run marathons, learning to ski and surf and conquering the highest of mountains.
Despite being told he could never have children, he is the proud father of his “greatest achievement”, his beautiful daughter, Alba.
Andy’s story is documented in his superbly-titled book “You’ll Never Walk” and begins age 12, when he faced life without his beloved mum when she passed away.
Andy shares beautifully how his mum and family have been, and continue to be, his main source of strength throughout his immense challenges.
As an accomplished motivational speaker, Andy inspires people of all ages around the world to believe that anything is possible.
If there is a story to make us get us off our backsides to walk on and live life to the max, it’s this one.
We loved our chat with Andy and urge you to listen to and take note of his life messages.
Let’s ‘Talk on to Walk on’ with @andygbootneck and let’s see where it leads…❤️
Available on all podcast platforms from today as Andy & Iain quite rightly celebrate their 15 year anniversary!

WHO ARE YOU LISTENING TO? 🤔
I was told not to get a divorce despite being so unhappy. Yes, it involved a huge rollercoaster ride of emotions and tough times but it was one of the biggest decisions of my life that I had to decide to take to live the life I knew I deserved.
Being careful who you listen to is one of our top tips in our latest podcast on BIG DECISIONS. Take a listen and let us know when you have taken a big decision against the advice of others.

DO YOU LIVE ON SOMEDAY ISLAND?
Are you someone who prefers staying in your comfort zone or have you changed your life by making big decisions?
In our first 2024 podcast episode, we share our personal, big decision experiences ironically both made at the start of a new year.
I talk about my mindset when I decided my first marriage was over while Patrick shares his experience of choosing to leave a stable job and the need to be courageous, accepting times of uncertainty and even pain to get us were you want to be in life.
We discuss the importance of reflecting on what you really want, taking care when seeking the opinions of others especially the couch critics(!), tuning into your gut and creating your own story to tell.
If you struggle with making big decisions, this podcast is definitely for you.
Don’t allow life to drift, take action and remember age is not an excuse!
Tell us in the comments about a big decision you’ve made. We’d love to hear your thoughts.
Listen on all podcast platforms including Spotify, Apple and YouTube. Links also in bio.
Let’s ‘talk on to walk on’ and see where it leads ❤️
