8: Facing the #1 Enemy of Aging Well

Blooming in the Middle

I’m just going to come right out and say it: the #1 enemy of aging well is often fear.

Fear of changes to your body, your relationships, and your place in the world. Fear of the unknown. Uncertainty about what lies ahead.

It's normal to think about the changes and challenges that come with aging.

But when fear is at the root of your concerns about aging well, healthy concern can turn into full-blown anxiety.

And anxiety fueled by fear keeps you from pursuing opportunities for growth and stops you from finding the joy and fulfillment God wants for you in the second half of life.

Let's talk about how you can beat the #1 enemy of aging well by putting midlife fear in its place so you can age with more confidence, courage and grace.
