[quote=Anonymous]I'm in my mid 50s with a college student and high school student with three years left of HS. I'll be 58 when the youngest is done with HS. I thought it was just me being an older mom, but apparently not. Yes, I find I have more trouble focusing now (menopause surely isn't helping there) and I'm mostly retired. Probably a good thing, although I still have many personal projects. What helps me to regain focus and keep moving forward is pretty simple: moving! I go for a long walk most days, or go to the gym and hit the treadmill for 45 minutes. It does wonders for me. I also have had to readjust my expectations of myself. I look at my life like I'm "eating the elephant". You don't eat it all in one sitting, only tiny bites every day. Sorry for the gross metaphor, but that's what I do. A little every day, manageable to-do lists where I can accomplish 95% of it and feel the win, and realizing its okay just to be and literally stop and smell the flowers.[/quote]
