Pilot - Mindfulness and Self-Story: Navigating Life at 50

Send Lita Goddess of Growth encouragement

Mindfulness isn't just a buzzword—it's a survival strategy for navigating the complexities of modern life. Having reached the milestone age of 50, I'm sharing profound reflections on how our personal narratives shape our reality, and why questioning these stories is crucial for genuine growth.

Drawing from my experiences as a qualified hypnotherapist since 2009, I explore how hypnoanalysis and free association can help us uncover the often-false narratives we've carried since childhood. These stories—whether they're objectively true or not—influence our decisions, relationships, and emotional responses in ways we rarely recognize. Through practices like journaling, we can begin to identify patterns and question which parts of our personal mythology are actually serving us.

The heart of this episode centers on presence—that elusive state of being fully immersed in the now. As I've witnessed loved ones face unexpected health challenges just before retirement, I've come to understand that tomorrow is never guaranteed. The only moment we truly possess is this one. Using Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and other practical tools, I share how to release anxiety, resentment, and overwhelm by anchoring ourselves in the present moment.

Perhaps most importantly, I discuss how we can all exist in the same physical world while experiencing completely different realities based on our individual life paths. This understanding makes comparison not only unnecessary but nonsensical. As we evolve and elevate our consciousness, it's natural for relationships to shift—these "little deaths" throughout life aren't to be feared but embraced as part of our journey toward becoming our most authentic selves. Join me in building a community where we can acknowledge both pain and joy as we support each other through life's continuous transformation.
