I woke up to all of this 5 years ago when I had to retire to take care of my husband who had a stroke. I’m now 70 and regret not living life fuller and more “free” from the things and behaviors that bogged me down and robbed my joy. My advice to everyone is listen to Robyn. She is helping us all to embrace simplicity and self-care that ultimately makes us better daughters, sisters, wives, mothers, friends etc. Don’t wait. We don’t need to say yes to everyone. We don’t need stuff. Our kids don’t need stuff. Managing stuff steals our time. God bless y’all.

This is the gift of perimenopause... we are no longer willing to put up with any B.S. It's truly part of this phase of life. I agree with everything you're saying! Now that I'm 65, I'm way more focused on my health, my rest, only making room for the good things. Living life more intentionally.

@MinimalistHome 16 дней назад

Right?? I love it!

@EricaLucasLoves 16 дней назад

Yes! I started caring way less about it other people’s opinions when perimenopause started.

@mariahwilson6505 17 дней назад

This is a great list!!! I stopped watching the news over ten years ago for my mental health. It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made 😂❤

@sonyad7723 16 дней назад

I don't even own a TV anymore but I don't watch the news on any other devices either, for probably 20 years!!! Every once in a while I'll get a pop-up for a really big story that I might click on and skim so I know what's happening, but otherwise I don't want to hear all of that negativity every day!!! That's all they ever seemed to put on the news!!! Even when I HAD a TV I didn't watch the news for a good 10ish years bc of that!!! (And I'm only 52! Lol) I'm saddened by my grandmother who watches pretty much ONLY the news all day long "so she knows what's going on in the world" but meanwhile she's taking in all of that negativity all day long and has nightmares Every night!!! :(

@JAMtheKnitter 15 дней назад

You nailed it with this one, Robin. So many things I have been thinking about or realized with you saying it how much I need to pay attention to it. Not micromanaging, not taking on other people's problems, not neglecting my health are the top three off the top of my head. I think a lot of why we do these things stems from us being women/moms/caretakers (or being brought up to be told we should be) and so we put other people's problems and happiness in front of our own. One thing I still struggle with is if I don't micromanage, and I don't do all the work myself, why should I have to live with the mess or undone things if the others don't do them?

@MinimalistHome 12 дней назад

I’m glad you can relate! I’m not a parenting expert, so please seek some out who have more step by step advice on this kind of thing, but I will clarify that there’s a difference between leading / managing the home / housework and acting in a micromanaging way about it. Neither needs to mean that you do all or none of it. I do see your point though and it might take a bit of time to shift into a new routine that works for you and your family a this time. 🤞🏼💛

@purpledonkeylover9988 16 дней назад

I love the JOMO idea!! What an awesome list, I think we harm ourselves more and the other person is clueless . Grudges and toxic people....ugh! They need to go! We need more positive things. Take care and enjoy your day.

@Esti89dec 16 дней назад

Totally agree with the news! I stopped watching a few years ago and I’m so much less stressed. When my mom talks about it and what’s going on she’s so anxious about it and I’m always telling her to stop. Like you said, I can stay apprised of the important information without watching it everyday.

@daphblue 17 дней назад

This is perfectly timed. We were just asked if we want to go to my father in law’s work party again this year. They do a big German festival with live music, great food, and a car show. It’s a great time, but we’re going to their house 2 weeks later for his birthday, and we really need the time at home. Plus, traveling with our 17 month old is really challenging right now

We got new flooring in my living room yesterday. My friend could not believe that everything was put back into place within 30 minutes. The reason it was fast was bc of less stuff to put back (thx decluttering) and the TV stand on sliders. My friend said it would have taken her a week 😮

Toxic person, ohh yes! I don't have to forgive everyone everything. I can forgive someone because deep down I feel that person is sincere, but I can not forgive someone who I don't feel is sincere. We can hear excuses, but not necessarily accept them but that doesn't mean that I have hatred, or anything else, I simply free myself from this person. This was liberating for me!

I said no to useless week end trip, to walking pets, to relatives I hate, and travelling for the sake of taking souvenirs and photos. Grudges I will hold on to to bitter end, because it was useful to me to avoid toxic ppl and to level up because I plan my revenge. Revenge first, then grudge can go😅

I have a special needs kitty who is paraplegic. 11 years old already and doing great with a lot of support and care by me. I’m a physical therapist and have treated humans with this condition as well. That’s why I’m particularly curious. 😸 Thank you for all your words of wisdom. You are amazing!
