As someone once said: In my twenties I worried about what others thought of me. In my forties I stopped worrying about what others thought of me. In my sixties I realised that nobody was really thinking of me in the first place.
unless their car has an issue every women has massive Ogeda about their car and believe me if u fix it once u r screwed for long term and sad thng is they act like they care about u but have little clue u know they dont
Got two toxic people out of my life, never been happier..............also quit, (well never really started), this fairly new trend, where everytime you go to the doctor, buy a car, get your car repaired, buy something from Amazon, Ebay etc. you are sent a "please rate your experience" survey. Nope....if you did a crap job....I'll let you know !.....otherwise no news is good news !
Thanks for watching and leaving this comment as it's a good one. I agree, I think too many people spend the majority of their time thinking and worrying about things they don't have instead of appreciating the things that they do have. So well said. Make sure you have a great day today 👍
Absolutely 100% to this.....I even avoid neighbors if they are toxic. Life is too short and we have to protect our happiness at all costs with limited time. 💞
Im 64 n was just laid off. It’s a blessing! No more stress, no more toxic leaders, no more BS! I now have peace I never knew I would have. Loving my life!
Good for you!!! Been working for 40yrs and there are some good times but there's always someone sitting on your shoulders putting the pressure on you and making you feel less than! We all deserve peace and happiness!!! Congrats and Enjoy!!!
Not so many 'leaders' out there anymore, more like bosses or supervisors...true leaders inspire rather than cause stresss, despite work being challenging

I am retired too. The other day I went thru my phone contacts, deleted all the people that really aren’t my friends or even care. I felt immediate relief!
Facebook can be a lifesaver. The people on Facebook supported me and advised me when my husband was dying out of his medical clinic. Man alive, that was terrible for me. My "friends" made things worse and abandoned me in the end.

1. Neglecting my health 2. Stressing over small things 3. Irregular sleep patterns 4. Over committing to others 5. End unhealthy relationships 6. Mindless spending 7. Procrastinating on goals 8. Ignoring self care (see #1) 9. Fearing change
I took up fishing, no barbed hooks and I sit in my deck chair on a small dock, drink my coffee eat a snack, and don't care if I catch anything. Love it.
Hi from England. I quit working at 60, I'm 64 now, drawing my small forces and works pension early. Back when I was 60, I quit paying my mortgage by paying it all off, I quit hanging out with toxic people, I quit worrying about what other people think. I quit going down the pub, and bought my own beer much cheaper. The people down the pub were all hangers on, toxic and full of themselves, so I quit all that. Wishing you happiness and long life, pal. ATB!
Thanks for watching and adding to the conversation here as I do really appreciate it. Sounds to me like you've made a few really important life choices and you're heading in the right direction so just keep doing what you're doing. And make sure you have a great day today mate 👍
Hey England I would like to know the truth and maybe you can help me. Is it really far right wing that is causing riots or illegal terrorist migrants being let in to create chaos in the streets? I’m thinking it’s the illegal migrants because illegals are pouring into Canada causing trouble but we don’t get the news what’s happening with you folks or any others. We need to connect. How bad is it?
You made the right decisions. I will be 65 soon, I live in The United States, I stopped working at 59 years of age, started collecting early social security at 62, I'm Free!!! I can do what I want and I receive a small check every month and I'm as Happy as can be !
@comicmania2008 interesting about the pubs. I'm in Canada and had the impression it would must be nice to hang out in English pubs with a certain comradery with the locals. I guess it was a bit of a fake impression I got from British shows. Thanks for the reality check! Lol
Stressing over politics made my Mothers last years very difficult for her. She believed the negativity that was promoted by right wing politicians and pundits. She became paranoid and angry and it stole her joy.
@@randallsmith7885 - it's very true your comment. The toxicity of cable news really does wreck folks lives, when all they see is an ocean of negativity and fear. It does steal folks joy of life. You can tell what people have been watching due to them repeating the negative talking points,
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment here as I really appreciate it. Yep keeping away from toxic people is very important because they can drag you down. And we both haven't got time for that. Good luck on your path ahead and make sure you have a great day today 👍
Hello from the UK. I retired at 55, 3 years ago. After careers in the military and a prison officer. I don’t engage with people unless absolutely necessary. I go to bed when I like, I get up,when I like. I am now selfish with my time, I feel no guilt. Just because they are family, it doesn’t mean I have to spend time with them. The only one who is fully deserving of my time is my dog. My new purpose in life is fishing. Subscribed.
Ive travelled the same path...military and 8 years in corrections as a nurse. I retired at 56 and do whatever I want when I feel like it and I have two dogs. Being retired is nice because you can engage people on YOUR terms and you really see the game for what it is.
@@DianaCarolinaGirl22 What is sad and selfish is when other people demand that you behave the way THEY want you to in order to make themselves happy....The great psychiatrist Carl Jung said that retirement time is a great time to look back and realize how much of yourself you had to sacrifice during the previous stage of your life (work and family life) and that it was now time to develop yourself. I gave the world 40 years of my life and if they want more of it, they are the selfish ones. Just a different perspective and I hope good things come your way today 🙂
I told one guy "when I get around to it" and he came over and handed me a cardboard circle where he had written the words "to it". At first I didn't get it and then realized I now had gotten "a-round to it".

Hey Dave thanks for watching and adding to the conversation. I agree with you early morning is the very best part of the day. I always remember my dad used to get up so early in the morning and whistle and I thought what the hell is he doing. Now I know he was doing the right thing. Good luck with the future and have a great day today 👍
Indiscriminate people are worth quitting. Random encounters produce random results. The finest singing coach in town, however, ... so much fun! Only the best teachers and leaders are worth enjoining.
Hey Linda thanks for watching and leaving a comment here as I really appreciate it.

Yeah, I'm 64, I'm gonna do that, not sure which family 'hanger on' or charity shop to give it to yet, but I hate parting with stuff that has given me pleasure in my youth and even more recent past, my records, my cassette collection and various hifi and radio collection. Young-uns in my family seem to scoff at my stuff as old and useless - even though everything is working perfect, so the sally army will probably get it, hopefully they'll sell it in their shops and it'll benefit some poor soul less fortunate than I was.

When I lived in Korea, there were a group of other foreigners that would hang out. Tried to hang out with them but first of all, I am not a conversationalist. Second, all they wanted to do was hang out at the park, bar-be-que and drink alcohol all day. They were bothered about the fact that I didn't want to drink with them (was drinking a soda). I was thinking there are many things I would rather be doing while I'm in Korea rather than sit around and bullshit all day. Korea has a lot to offer in terms of temples, and natural scenery. On one Saturday morning I noticed they were sitting in the park bullshitting. Five hours later I drove by the park and they were still sitting around bullshitting.
@60, I quit drinking. Started walking and exercising. Go to bed by 9 and up by 5 or 6 to prayer and meditation. I no longer work hard and pace myself for my age. I may retire next year at 62. I’ve tightened my circle to those whom I love and who love me. I go to church more and feel amazing.
Funny thing... my dog and lifelong companion passed away a month ago. I became heavily addicted to social media afterwards, possibly a way to numb myself from the overwhelming grief. Found this video - thanks Brenden! - and redirected my efforts completely!!!! Life changing for me.
I'm sorry for the loss of your dear dog. 😢 Maybe you could volunteer at an animal shelter or humane society. There are lots of dogs waiting for homes who would love someone to take them for a walk. 😊
It's important to become your own priority after a certain age. 1. Walk everyday. 2. Resistance 4 times a week. 3. Good sleep. 4. Good diet. 5. No Smoking. 6. No Alcohol. 7. Do not worry about unimportant issues. 8. Avoid energy vampires and users, no matter if they are family or not. 9. Learn to say NO. 10. Make time for your hobbies. 11. Be present and enjoy your life as you only have one. 12. Time is your most valuable asset, use it wisely. 13. Thanks for reading!

Before I retired I was NOT procrastinator, but I sure am now! And because I was a performer at work for 42 years, I cut myself slack now. And it feels wonderful!

I was a OTR trucker of 27 years here in the USA, and hauled freight to three provinces of Canada. It took a real toll on my body, and ultimately retired at age 59. The changes I experienced over three years were traumatic and wonderful. For the first time in my life, I was no longer minute timed in every aspect of my life. The physical and mental breakdown is indescribable. Staying home, being home and sleeping in my own bed is a luxury. Now I do things at my own pace. It’s a bitter sweet ending to a long, hard career.
Over the Road trucking is one of the most grueling, physically debilitating jobs man ever created. Thank you for your service, and the best of health in your retirement.
Nature is my sanctuary I prefer to hang out with the crows than to deal with most people, movement is my key for me.Real food and sleep,Im done with worrying and being manipulated.Im 60, peace to all, and to all a great day!

I agree with everything you say. I'm 67. I put boundaries in place according to the person. I minimise contact with manipulators, guilt trippers, overly critical and negative people. I live my life on my terms.

Then you sometimes you end up having to deal with a wider impact when they trash you to your mutual friends and family, and it takes on its own narrative. THAT can make your life very difficult. DON'T SHARE why you're doing things or not doing them. You invite their judgement. let them wonder.
I took the extra time to search for truth realizing I lived a lie most of my life and this led me to the Bible and I realized God is real and now I am preparing the best I can for my next life.
@@kevinhullinger8743 I have learned this truth as well after decades of being lost. I appreciate your comment on preparing for my next life. This gives me an understanding of my purpose as well. Thank you!
God isnt real. Its how many humans deal with their own mortality. We live, then die. Thats it. Face that and accept it and your fear of dying will be no more than your fear of taking a nap. Dying is ok. Others will live on.
Get yourself checked out of it's a health issue. It creeps up on you and it's not normal to feel exhausted. If you're just fed up with the way of the world and have run out of shits to give, then embrace that. Not caring is winning in a way.
@6:08 - after 28 years of marriage I divorced my wife... couldn't be happier. I genuinely believe she would have been pissed off from the inconvenience of attending my funeral.
Hey buddy thanks for watching and leaving your comment here as I do appreciate it. If that's a fact then it was definitely the right choice to separate and move on. Good luck in the future and have a great day today 👍
@@BrendenSharp Oh, it's a fact alright. Sometimes your own personal moral code can be debilitating and detrimental to your goals and happiness. Choose wisely young men and don't be afraid to walk away. As an aging GenXer I would like to emphasize to others approaching retirement. Don't question your past decisions - financial/romantic...dwelling on the past is depressing. Avoid negative people. Eat healthy - learn to cook, it's fun. Get out of your comfort zone - you don't have much time left, book a cheap flight to a place you've always wanted to visit. Spend your money - your offspring will be fine.
I am not quite 60 but I won’t spend time with people who show little interest in spending time with me or who have become undependable. I don’t chase people.

I quit work at 60 I suffer from crohns disease and I thought the stress of architecture/building was taking it's toll on my life... I'm now much more relaxed, I walk and jog almost daily, play my guitar and spend time with my beautiful wife and two sons... they are truly the only people in this world who will feel my absence if I pass... BTW, I love this vid... brilliant mate, enjoy your retirement and more importantly, your precious life...

When I retired from education at age 62 I was tired and having problems with my feet. It took me about a year to rest and take care of my foot problems. I could have gone back to work as a substitute administrator and made some nice money, but I just could not make myself go back to the job that was so hard on my spirit and body. Now at 74 I am happy and healthy with an active life.
Thanks for watching and leaving a bit of your story here in the comments as I really appreciate it. You obviously made the correct decision by not going back to work. I'm glad you're in a much better space now so that you can enjoy the rest of your life. Take care and make sure you have a great day today 👍
I am 76 years young and embrace change. Today, I am the best version of myself because, I don't waste my time, energy or money on things that don't bring joy in my life. Kindness and compassion are at the top of my list of values. That does not mean being a door mat or allowing myself to be used. My relationships have become closer because I am more authentic. Thank you for your list. It is a good one.
Thanks for watching and leaving your comment here as I really appreciate it. Glad to hear you're currently the best version of yourself. Good luck on your path ahead and have a great day today 👍
I am 71 survived emergency surgery 16 months ago. Every day is a gift. I'm active . I concentrate on my deep friendships. Don't have time for toxic people. Listen to lots of music and enjoy the beauty of Nature.
This is some advice an elder gave me years ago and it really hit me: "Be careful what you give up as your age!!" Too many people stop doing a lot of things, perhaps out of fear or believing they shouldn't because they are older. Your world can constrict in a hurry. So that's my advice, passed on from a wise friend who lived to be 96 and was active to the end!
Giving things up is a sign of maturity. Giving up only the right things is a sign of wisdom. When the time comes you will know that is no longer important to you long term well being. It is key to healthy longevity. Good luck on your journey
Agree, I quit a lot of things at 55 when I was widowed, it changed my attitude more than age. I decided to not work so hard ( had only had one proper holiday in 20 years) , to not care what others think of me, to cut way back on drinking to feel better, quit socialising as much ( as an introvert I love time on my own), and quit delaying things I enjoy. I bought a motorbike and ride as much as I can. Life at our age can be great with the right attitude.
Thanks for watching and sharing a bit of your story. I agree with the cutting back on drinking and also the socialising. I'm more than happy to spend time on my own too.
I'm 68. I have been self employed for 45 years, and still Love my work. I don't make a ton of money, but more than enough. I work as much, or as little as I want. I stay busy, and active. I still ride dirt bikes, and water ski a lot. The key is, to do what you Love...and keep doing it. I don't ride or ski at the level that I used to...BUT...as we get older, it doesnt matter. We have nothing to proove, at this age. The most fun thing is being approached by younger people who are interested in the life experiences that we all have, and ask about it. It happens A Lot!! And it warms my heart, and helps to keep me feeling young.
Hey Gary thanks for watching and sharing some wisdom here as I really appreciate it. You sound like you're in a really good spot and you're doing everything right which makes me happy. So just keep on keeping on and have a great day. 👍
I'm 63. I drink a lot. I don't sleep enough. I don' exercise a lot I eat what I want. I've had a good life. If I die tomorrow : so be it I do not care. I do not need a long life And by the way : I am a MD : I see the misery of old people every day. Even when they lived healthy.
With all those bad habits you might not die tomorrow but you might have a debilitating stroke or a serious heart attack and spend your last 20 years in a nursing home waiting for a nurse to come and change your diaper.
Hey Mark thanks for watching and commenting here as I really appreciate it. There's been a lot of people commenting that they've given up the booze which is very positive. I've seen firsthand what booze can do to people and relationships and it's not good so the earlier you give it up the better. Thanks again and have a great day. 👍
Yeah done all three, wasted so much money on all three, I took up travelling by motorcycle, love it, been so many places and seen so much I would never have seen. Life's a journey.
I'm trying to cut back on the beer, but craft beer is something I really like and I'm not sure we should completely deprive ourselves of some of the things we enjoy in life. Moderation
Helping others. A life focused on yourself is guaranteed to be an unhappy one. As my grandma used to say don’t expect so much from other people…they’ll just let you down!
I love what you said about embracing change or challenges. As we age death and health issues are more frequent. My husband passed last year, I didn't think I would make it. But now, over a year later, I am embracing my new different life. We go on, make the best of it. It can be great!
47 here. Thank for the headsup 👍i whant to retire around 55. I have a collegue and she told I would not have inuf money... I told myself... 1- i like go run- free 2- I like to laugh - free 3- i like to tend to my garden - free 4- i like to sail -ok this one cost's alot... but who care's 😂 5-I like to speek to friends and people - free It seams that most of the good things in life are free 😊
Yeah, I really don't understand it when people reply "Getting out of the house" to the question of what is expensive to do. Even in my situation where I need a car to get anywhere, it's less than $5 of gas to go to a nearby park (10 minutes away).
Amen especially on quitting unhealthy relationships ! Bravo ! I have had to go no contact with some significant people recently… and while it's an adjustment & sad , I just cannot tolerate disrespect anymore. Life is too short. I’m 64. Great reminder to quit fearing change as well !!
Hey thanks for watching and leaving a positive comment as I really appreciate it. We always have to remember that our time is limited so we need to choose it wisely. When I turned 60 I woke up and my first reaction was how the hell did I get here so fast. So it just makes you think. Anyway make sure you have a great day today 👍
At 60 I quit people. I quit church, group activities, and even driving. At the age of 71 I'm content, photographing on walks and reading. Best thing I ever did. 👍☕🌿
All these are golden. I quit drinking alcohol. Having BPH, alcohol just makes it really difficult to pee. Not worth it anymore. I enjoy the food I prepare just as much without that beer or that glass of wine. And I sleep much better, pee much better, weigh a little less, and feel more and better energy.
Thanks for watching and sharing your story. And I think that's fantastic news that you've given away the booze there's so many negative things that come from alcohol. Well done and keep up the great work. 👍

Couldn't agree more. I had a very exciting and fullfilling live in my job worldwide for a great company. But I quitted with 63, cut off all memberships and denied all demands for volunteer work. I am the master of my time now. Looking for my health, being there for my family and all the things I love to do. I like my more quiet live now, sitting on my patio, looking into the mountains, smoke a cigar and drink a coffee. I'm going 2 days a week to my gym, making weight lifting, swimming and sauna. All these things in combination gives me the inner peace and well being. Soon I will turn 70 and I feel great.

I'm 56 and I've been doing most of these things for years. But when you said you had less time in front of you than you have behind you, that hit home. I like the way you articulated that. I've always told people I don't have time for certain things. But I think your way helps articulate that a lot better and puts a better context to what I am really trying to convey, so thank you for that. I also spend A LOT more time in prayer and giving to others in need. I'm semi-retired and self employed. I love my work and I am getting to a place that I only work as much as need. My home is paid. My wife's car is paid. there is only $6k left on my vehicle loan. Neither of us are of age to get social security, but our living expenses are so low that social security is just play money when that time comes. We're not counting on it as a means of survival.

Hey Gilbert thanks for watching and adding a comment here. What a lot of people do in Melbourne as they watch sports and now gambling is really infiltrated the sports even more than in the years gone by which is not a good thing.

Glad you found lots of other positive things to do so that's a big step forward for you. Have a great day today 👍
I am close to his age and have realized each of these...I enjoy my daily walks (never with a phone if you want me come out and find me). The most important thing I've learned as I have gotten older is to stop worrying about what others think of me. Don't waste time and money trying to influence what others think. They probably aren't thinking about you, and if they are and share their opinion, ignore them.

Very sage advice. I recently turned sixty just after the death of my father. I retired rather than partially retiring because I was working a job that was unrewarding and stressful for the sake of money I didn't really need. I quit to prioritise my mental and physical health. I have quit reading or watching the news and have become what I call constructively selfish. I do things that reward me spirituality and emotionally and live in the moment. Life is for living well. It is about you and not what others think about you or having lots of stuff. I refuse to get angry about anything anymore. Finally, as a student of Buddhism, I would say that your ten steps mirror one of the Buddha's most important teachings ... 'Nobody is more worthy of compassion than yourself', Well done you!
Hey Michael thanks for watching and sharing some of your own wisdom here I really appreciate it I've been interested in Buddhism for a while so I might do a bit of research. I have spent a fair bit of time looking at the stoics which I agree with. Good luck on your path ahead and have a great day today 👍
I'm 62 and have quit any kind of job or relationship that reduces my ability to maintain my physical health. I exercise 6 days a week with a focus on cardiovascular health and maintaining muscle mass and bone density and it comes first before anything now. Just wish i'd had this focus at 50.
Thanks for watching and commenting. That's one area that I have to do even more of and that is strength training. My cardiovascular is ok but I need to build my strength back up that's for sure. 👍
@@BrendenSharp I have a personal trainer and he says that after 60 in particular our body sheds muscle mass much more quickly and it results in reduced mobility, fatigue and other health issues. There's probably a whole video just on maintaining muscle mass over 60 and also getting enough protein. Good video, thanks for posting!
You have given me so much inspiration, im 67, and since watching yiu, iv realised your right, thats how im going to spend the rest of my life. Thankyou so much😊
Hey Harry, thanks for watching and adding your comment. I'm glad that this video has been a positive for you and hopefully it's going to help you in the future as well. Good luck as you move forward and start by having a great day today. 👍
Turned 60 10 years ago. Went to Bible college for 4 years, as an area in my life to develop in retirement. Kept learning lots through reading and talking with others. Learnt to eat in a healthy pattern. Quit bad food. Listened to your list and would like to buy into the exercise and sleep regimen. Waiting for operation for hip replacement, so when I get that, I hope to be able to activate that option. As for sleep! Mmm. I can’t say I’ve had a good night’s sleep for 30 years. So generally, a bit like you, I have personal goals I want to pursue, to which I am setting my course, and letting others go.
Hey thanks for watching and leaving your comment here as I really appreciate it. Sounds like you're trying to go down the right path so it's just a matter of keeping on keeping on and I'm sure you'll get there. In the meantime make sure you have a great day today 👍
I'm in my late 50's, I've quit working and am retired, I've quit socialising because I always attract fair weather friends, I've quit caffeine because my heart doesn't like it, I've quit bad food choices to look after myself better. I've quit putting myself last if I don't wanna I won't. I do procrastinate sometimes only because I don't want to face the inconsiderate drivers on the way to the shops. Otherwise life is good right now. Have a good day everyone! 🌞
@@GUITARTIME2024 Thank you for the advice I'm already taking magnesium and potassium. I've also found an alternative beverage to replace coffee. It's called NOT COFFEE it is actually a little Australian business called NOT COFFEE ☕🙂
🇨🇦-Subscribed- Turned 60 last month, this whole chat is exactly what I have done as well. Smart man. I let her go at 50, best decision of my life. Healthier, happier, financially stable, travelling the world… Those who come running to you are your true friends, those who disappear never were.
Hey thanks for watching and sharing a bit of your story here as I really appreciate it. Sounds like you're on the right path now so just keep going. Good luck in the future and have a great day today 👍
I'm 68 and have been retired for 3 years. I'm active as a working musician, playing about 60 gigs per year, weekly rehearsals, and songwriting and recording. This is good for my soul and it's still fun. When it's no fun any more then I'll pull the plug on it. I was glad to hear your list and there are many things I am doing, and more (like making my heath a priority) I will put more attention on. These are all great life advice at ANY age actually. I have a 22 year old daughter that is struggling with several issues in her life and this would apply to her as well. Thanks Brenden.
I am 58 and this is all food for thought as I get closer to 60. I have most definitely noticed a major change in my priorities over the past few years. I have found myself thinking about a life free of all possessions, and living very minimally.
Health and self care is always important, and should be a lifelong thing... and as our years roll away, wasting time on people who don't share your values, goals or sense of humour is wasting that time away... I'd rather be alone and happy with my hobbies than hanging out with people who make me regret doing so... one thing people often confuse is those they work with... there is no obligation beyond the working hours to be anything to, or expect anything from, them. In fact, that liberates you to just get the business done, and get on with your life.
I retired 3 years ago at 62-- loving retired life! I'd add to your list-- take some classes at your local community college, if you can-- keeps your mind active.
Excellent….!!!!! New subscriber……love it. I’ll be 65 in 3 months. Got rid of non working beliefs….continue to be of a growth mindset. Cut out the negativity in and around your circle of friends. Appreciate and approach life as a Student and remain curious…..it’s a super power! *** Forgiveness is also key. Be of service and gratitude. Keep ….moving mentally and physically… Eat to live…..not live to eat. Be of Love….toward all those that cross your path. I don’t debate or argue…….at all. Set boundaries. God bless…
Love the "OVERCOMMITTING" ....people will expect more from you than you can give... They don't even appreciate it anyway! Live your life and don't worry about what people think of you!... that's called 'FREEDOM" Great video!
Hey Gary thanks for watching the video and commenting here as I really appreciate it I think it's very common for people to over commit and then they complain and whinge about it but a lot of people keep doing it. Good luck moving forward and have a great day today 👍
I love your list! I’m turning 55 in 2 days and have really been rethinking my priorities. I feel like I’m suddenly here…at midlife. It all went so fast. I don;t want to take myself for granted anymore. I’ve been a GIVER to others my whole life. It’s high time to start giving to myself. ❤
Hey thanks for watching and leaving a comment here. Sounds to me like you're definitely starting to make the right choices. I remember when I turned 60 and woke up and thought how the hell did I get to here so fast. Time flies by that's for sure and it's just going to keep going so you have to make sure you're doing the right thing by yourself. Good luck in the future and make sure you have a great day today 👍
Right on dude,my wife and I are in our early 60,s to,and everything you mentioned we have also been doing,we have also been doing regular praying to God and bible reading and study also,very encouraging video thank you so much sir!
Thanks for watching and commenting here as I really appreciate it. I think you have to work on your physical and mental health every single day of your life and not take either for granted. Anyway have a great day today 👍
I find it's an every day struggle. You have to watch your mind 24/7. I have a big issue with depression and feeling worthless. Haven't felt worthless in awhile because I have done a few interesting things in my life, so I don't feel it was entirely wasted.
For me, I've found both are closely linked - if I can focus on my physical health, getting outdoors and being active, I find my mental health improves a lot too.
Thank you for your QUIT profile.l am 66 years old and found your advice very enlightening indeed. Over the last couple of years, l have had a few health problems, particularly with my right ankle caused by diabetes. Your advice has been wonderful.
Hey John thanks for watching and leave me a comment here as I do appreciate it. Your health is your number one priority. Without your health you have nothing. So do everything in your power to make sure you can live the best possible life. Good luck on your own path ahead and make sure you have a great day today mate 👍
Well Brendan, I did almost the same at 50. Quit my job as a carpenter, sold my house and car, got a motoercycle and a smaller house ( 32 square meters). Now I can doo almost anything I want. Work ins"t everything, yourself is.
@@Wetfishmedia Thanks for watching and leaving a comment here that tells a bit of your story. I really appreciate it. Well done and enjoy the rest of the journey and have a great day today, 👍
Thanks for watching and leaving your comment here as I appreciate it. Sounds like you'll move in the right direction. Good luck on the path forward and have a great day today 👍
I spoke with a neighbor last week and reminded him we had a meeting to attend the following week. He eagerly replied, "I'll be there." Tomorrow I'm attending his funeral. Time doesn't wait and death is always at our doorstep. His passing is a sober reminder for me.
Thanks for watching and adding your comment here as I really appreciate it. Sorry to hear about your neighbour. None of us know how much longer we have to go on this planet so we all have to get on and do the things we want to do today.
I just turned 61. I never met a cigarette I didn't like , but I quit on the 05/01/2020. I was drinking considerably up to quite recently, I stopped last week, I'm beginning to feel the benefits. I'm a bit of a slouch on the exercise but I'll do better. I've been agnostic for years, I'm making an effort to find Jesus. It doesn't matter which religious tradition you come from. I think a little faith can go a long way and be most beneficial.
Thanks for watching and sharing your story as I really appreciate it. Sounds like you've made some massive positive moves in the right direction to set yourself up for the rest of your life. In one of my earlier videos I said you've got to look after your body because if you get to the stage where your body is not livable, where else are you going to live? The answer is you're not. So well done on the big changes and keep it going. Good luck in the future and have a great day today. 👍
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.". John 14:15 "If you love me, follow my commandments.". God Bless
Brenden I have followed a few of your podcasts and you speak a lot of sense, but listen to your heart if you want to move do it, we all make mistakes but we learn as life is a learning curve. And yes this society is driven by fear, once you overcome fear your life will change for the better. No man has authority over you, once you understand this you will stand up and protect you and your family. God Bless you
