Mindful Breathing Thought Leader: Nancy Candea
How do we decide our focus in the second half of life?
“I am so grateful that I took the time to reframe my life and clarify what is essential.”
Clear Path For Your Second Act:
It needs to be unlike any other time of our life. I know this because I have personally had to deal with it myself. In my mid-forties, I had to deal with chronic inflammation, digestive issues, the end of my second marriage, raising two teen daughters, and moving to a different state to get a fresh start.
For many of my clients and me, it meant learning new skills to take care of a body that was an integral component of my career and making a conscious decision to live from a place of self-acceptance and clarity on what was important to me.
I am so grateful that I took the time to reframe my life and clarify what is essential. At 61, I love the direction of my life, and I feel fantastic. Of course, physical and emotional challenges aren’t going to go away. But what I want to accomplish in the second half of my life is deeper than just goals.
Compassionate Confident Human Being:
I finally have the ability to 100% express my full capacity as a compassionate confident human being. I can live in a place of emotional intelligence, lead/mentor/parent with boundaries and unconditional love, and be vulnerable without questioning my self-worth.
“Navigating getting older is a lot easier with the right support!”
Navigating getting older is a lot easier with the right support! I’ve proved to myself, over and over, that the support of other women is essential for my health and happiness. And I love supporting other women.
Fifteen years as a yoga therapist who specializes in trauma, addiction, and chronic pain has given me a lot of opportunities to help women, in their second act, who are on incredible journeys of healing and thriving.Â
