Discovering I Have a Body in Midlife
Despite all my best efforts...
Hello again!
After decades of “living in my head”, the past several years has made it clear that I need to come to terms with the fact I do, in fact, have a body. Not to mention that it needs attention and care. Of course, none of what I am wrestling with is unique to me. And honestly, none of it is even earth shattering—it’s just not what I expected.
But change is still change and adjusting takes time. So here’s where I am—doing my best when aging gracefully doesn’t feel as graceful as I thought it would.

Discovering I Have a Body in Midlife
Like many, I am a person who tends to live mostly in my head. I remember several years ago, telling my therapist that I knew at some point that I would need to focus more on my body (which, in my mind, meant become “more active” and “eat better”) but that I just wasn’t there yet.
Enjoy!
