As the holidays approach, once again I find myself being obligated to host or attend Thanksgiving or Christmas gatherings. I have no desire anymore, I have been doing that for years. I see my family through the year, we only live 25-30 minutes away from each other! I am happy staying home, with my adult kids, cooking a simple meal, and later relaxing. I don’t want to spend days planning, shopping, preparing, cooking, then cleaning up. It’s exhausting and expensive! Just to fulfill society expectations that you have to have these Hallmark movie family moments.
You’re not alone in feeling that way! Holidays should be about what genuinely brings you joy, not just following tradition or expectations. Spending time at home, relaxing with your adult kids, and enjoying a simple meal sounds lovely and meaningful. It’s okay to set boundaries and celebrate in a way that feels right for you.
You’re not obligated to do holiday gatherings elsewhere or at home! Just do things as you normally would. Don’t do it instead of complaining! The Holiday Police won’t be pounding on your door for crying out loud!
The simple rule to follow here is this: All my guests bring me pleasure, some by arriving, a lot by leaving. So avoid having the ones who bring you joy by leaving show up in the first place.
I love this. I’m 68 and I’m doing most of these things. The decluttering is the hardest. I just can’t let go yet. I got a female black Labrador puppy by default and she’s fulfilling my retired life, I’ve travelled from NZ to Scandinavia and I’ve dropped toxic people out of my life. I’m not going to functions if I don’t want to. Great advice.
Thank you for sharing! It sounds like you’re living a fulfilling and intentional retired life. Decluttering can be tough, but take it one step at a time-it’s all about progress, not perfection. Your Labrador sounds like a wonderful companion!
I found that as I approached my 70s, I have been doing these things instinctively. Life is finite. I have drawn an imaginary circle into which I have placed all whom matter to me. I concentrate on that circle. I am also declutterring my surroundings that are full of things acquired through 50 years of living in the same house. Each item that goes to an appreciative family member, my favorite charity, or assigned to the trash leaves me feeling lighter and more liberated. Thank you for validation my choices.
Thank you for sharing your story! It's great to hear how you're focusing on what really matters and clearing out your space. I’m glad the video resonated with you and validated your choices!
I did likewise when major downsizing five years ago. We stick with likeminded, and declutter twice a year as routine. Husband and I are more introverted and not involed in civic groups or any type of organizations which we learned decades ago, it only caused stress to attend events and fund raisers. Beside it accomplishes nothing in the end. We do online church services, enjoy reading and online interactions via emails.
I am67. Still working a full time job here in Africa - will have to work till I drop dead. No retirement ever. Still looking after my 37 year old stepson living in the house - was an addict - cured now but no prospects. Also have 5 foster children I have to get an education for. Everyone else reading this - enjoy your life after 65 - some never can.
@@CalmWiseLiving Thank you - what I described is the best parts of my life. I hope this can be an inspiration to other people to be thankful for what they have and enjoy it for what it is. I can honestly say there is not a single thing in my life that gives me even 10 seconds of joy ever. I have not laughed in 30 years. I walk everywhere I need to go. I buy my clothes from 2nd hand street vendors. I sacrifice a lot for others and it goes unappreciated. I wish I has just one talent - perhaps musical, perhaps physical but I have none except for slogging away every day for 18 to 20 hours and being able to do that every day and stay strong. Blessings to everyone - things are never as bad as you think. You could be homeless....
@@hendrikdebruin4012 I’m really sorry you’re going through such a tough time. Your resilience is inspiring, even if it doesn’t feel that way. I hope one day you find a moment that brings you some peace or joy, however small. Thank you for sharing your story-it’s a reminder to be grateful for the good we do have. Wishing you strength and better days ahead.
To me, if you keep on pleasing others and not yourself, eventually you lose your passion for doing things. This video is very helpful. Thank you. I'll be making some changes.
You're absolutely right-prioritizing yourself is so important! I'm glad the video resonated with you, and I wish you the best with the changes you're making. Thank you for sharing!
I just found out from my family that if I cannot bring anything to Thanksgiving, I cannot come. I am now 67 years old. I do not cook anymore. I do not have the finances to afford to cook. I’m just realized that my family is very selfish and greedy.. they never called me. They never check on me. They don’t know if I’m alive or dead as of Monday have a family. I have disowned them and to tell me I cannot come to a family gathering without bringing food at my age is so unreal and then I come to find out it’s all about my sister‘s grandbaby that now can walk and if nobody comes, she’s not having anything to do with them because they need to come to see her grandbaby. well, she’s not gonna have anything to do with me because I’m not coming. I am not doing anything that does not make me happy from now on my children. Have nothing to do with me and all this stuff. I’ve been saving all these years for my children to have hand me down from my mother and my grandmother for my wedding for my China, going to Goodwill I will not be told at my age of 67 what I can and cannot do.
I'm really sorry you're feeling this way. It's tough when family dynamics feel one-sided and hurtful, especially as we get older. Your worth is not defined by what you can or can't bring to a gathering. It sounds like you’re making a powerful decision to prioritize your happiness. Stay strong, and remember you deserve respect and care. ❤🤗

I separated from siblings because we have different values and no common interests decades ago. Parents dec. We are all retired.
Im turning 65 in the spring. So far I have let go of things that I thought were important. I came to realize that its not.I watched my adult childrens lives play out.And I worried over so many things that I shouldn't have worried about.All things I couldn't change. Im at peace in my unit with my beautiful cat and neighbors ❤️ that i knew all my life.Im done with all the cooking and cleaning at Christmas 🎄. I still love Christmas but in a different way. I love it for myself. Not for all the cooking for my adult family. Its strange how they never cooked anything for me.I let go of not being appreciated. And its OK.❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing your story. It sounds like you've found a beautiful sense of peace and self-love. Letting go of what no longer serves you is so freeing, and it’s inspiring to hear how you’ve embraced this stage of life. Your Christmas sounds truly special now. ❤
Whoever is reading this, I wish you endless happiness, unwavering peace, boundless prosperity, perfect health, and countless blessings from above. May your life be filled with joy and your heart with contentment. 😊💕
Interesting video, and a little reminder that I don’t need to keep making videos for TH-cam anymore. After 14 years of posting about plants and 50 years as a nurseryman I’ve had enough and it’s become a habit, something I do on auto. I really enjoyed this video, very sensible, and I do feel like I create my own obligations. I get asked to do talks all the time and nearly always agree and I really don’t want to. I planted a few hundred crocus last week, walked away and said that’s the last things I’ll ever put in the earth. A defining moment then, and I read this today. I just about agree with every one of the 9 things to let go of.
Thank you for sharing this-it means a lot. It sounds like you’ve had an incredible journey with plants and sharing your knowledge. It’s okay to step back and take a break if that’s what feels right. Enjoy the crocuses and the peace of doing things just for yourself now. 😊
I enjoyed this whole video about wise living after 65. I’m 89 and still learning how to live a better life as a widow. Most seniors I know are so frustrated about their social lives whether or not they’re capable of reliving their young past lives. Very foolish. This is a new age for us and we need all the wisdom we can possibly receive from experienced folks like you, the authors, to make healthy choices and decisions for our futures! Thank you! With God’s grace and blessings we can make it work!! Amen.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment! It's inspiring to hear about your journey at 89, and I completely agree-this new age brings so many opportunities for growth and connection. Wishing you continued wisdom and grace on your path! ❤️
I’m 67. I spent my whole working life yearning for retirement. I wanted complete control over what I did and didn’t do. Instead, I find myself constantly worrying about petty, silly, unimportant things. I have very poor sleep and am experiencing increasing levels of anxiety and developing depression. I don’t know what happened. These things in your video have made me rethink what I choose to do. I am guilty of almost all of these.
Thank you for sharing. It’s never too late to make changes, and recognizing those habits is a big first step. I hope the ideas in the video help you regain that peace and control you’ve been seeking. Take it one day at a time, your well-being matters most.
@@gaylehunter6187 I'm so glad this resonated with you! Facing crossroads can be challenging, but it’s also a chance for new beginnings. Wishing you strength and clarity on this journey.
@@TheresaDeRosa That sounds like quite the journey! It’s great you’re staying active with all those steps. Wishing you a smooth trip and a wonderful time with your family!
@@CalmWiseLiving Yes ty my son in his thirties A NYC police officer working central park, what a mess 10 hrs per day one day off they need help and a new 3 week old baby

All items listed can be done at any age. Christianity teaches us contentment and can set us free of the encumbering issues of life at any age. It generally takes a lifetime to really learn and apply these concepts.
You're absolutely right-many of these principles can be embraced at any age, and learning and applying them is truly a lifelong journey. Thank you for sharing your insight!
We thought, as we retired, we would have less worry, more freedom and so on. We bought a motor home, and planned to enjoy the freedom. Then my husband had a massive stroke, and I am now a 24 hour carer. Not at all what we planned...
I'm so sorry to hear that things didn't go as planned. It must be incredibly challenging, but your strength and dedication as a caregiver are admirable.
This freedom with aging can be very rewarding and I agree that there are many advantages to aging. I would caution that there is age bias in our lives and it is important to watch for it. This is especially true with medical world. Older people are often taken less seriously and judged by their appearance and behavior by doctors (and other professionals). If you feel invisible or intimidated, take an understanding assertive friend or family member with you. Age discrimination is real. Be well, my friends!
I get that! There's definitely a lot to miss about the younger days. But I like to think of it as preparing for a new chapter rather than an end. Every stage has something to offer, even if it’s just embracing the little joys along the way.
If you have any suggestions or topics you're interested in, leave me a comment. I want to create content that inspires you! 🌟✍ What would you like to learn in the next video? 🤔👇🏼
Itis easy to let go of material things if you have money to replace them.on a limited budget . Travelling is also out when on a limited budget .i live in Oz so it is expensive to travel locally and prohibitive to travel overseas This is pie in the sky.
I hear you, and you're right-budget constraints can make it tough to let go of material things or travel. It’s about finding small ways to prioritize experiences over stuff, even on a tight budget. Everyone’s situation is different, and we all do what we can with what we have.
I agree. It’s a lot easier to make healthier mental and physical choices when we are financially independent. And sadly, that is just not true for many seniors. Struggle doesn’t just disappear when you change your attitude. But we can choose to handle it in a different way if it’s within our power.
Absolutely, prioritizing your mental health and choosing supportive connections over toxic obligations is so important. Walking away from negativity is a powerful step toward a healthier life!
My theory of growing older is simple.... When you become an adult (18) we all have many problems with life BUT they are usually always small problems but numerous. As we grow older the number of problem deminish but they are larger problems. As we become elderly we shed even more problems but they are large. I'm 72 now and the only problem I have is staying healthy. God blessed me with excellent health for 72yo. Everything else is unimportant.
That's such a thoughtful perspective! It's inspiring to hear how you've embraced life's journey and prioritized what truly matters. Wishing you continued health and happiness!
Absolutely! Balancing social connections with personal boundaries is key. Sometimes those special moments, like a birthday, are worth making an exception for. 😊
@ even though deep down inside you just want to be home… reading… cooking… etc I’m a classic introvert.. So I have that… Not a complaint… I believe it’s natures way of giving me my balance 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾

Great points! Sometimes, even common sense needs a reminder, especially as priorities shift with age. And everyone's journey is different, so we try to cover a bit of everything. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

One of the things to let go of is the distracting purple blob bouncing over the words in this video. People over 65 can read by themselves.
Thank you for your feedback! I’ll keep that in mind for future videos to make them more enjoyable for everyone. ♥😁
Thank you for this. It made me laugh out loud!
This exactly! It made me think about all the staff meetings where someone read the words on the overhead projector to us.
Well said. Also it seems in one short year, that being 64 we must change drastically.

My theory of growing older is simple.... When you become an adult (18) we all have many problems with life BUT they are usually always small problems but numerous. As we grow older the number of problem deminish but they are larger problems. As we become elderly we shed even more problems but they are large. I'm 72 now and the only problem I have is staying healthy. God blessed me with excellent health for 72yo. Everything else is unimportant.
That's such a thoughtful perspective! It's inspiring to hear how you've embraced life's journey and prioritized what truly matters. Wishing you continued health and happiness!
It's not fun getting old is we have wisdom
"True! With age comes wisdom, and that's something to celebrate. Embracing each chapter can bring its own unique joy!
I agree with most of this…..but sometimes you just need to attend that birthday party ….
Absolutely! Balancing social connections with personal boundaries is key. Sometimes those special moments, like a birthday, are worth making an exception for. 😊
@ even though deep down inside you just want to be home… reading… cooking… etc
I’m a classic introvert.. So I have that… Not a complaint… I believe it’s natures way of giving me my balance 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
@@donnaramunno7472 Me also, I do lots of reading and communicating online.
Wait. It took you THAT long??
I stopped giving a f*** in my late twenties-early thirties.
😂🤷🏻♀️♥️
Haha, we all move at our own pace! 😅 Better late than never, right? ♥️

🤔…fair. ♥️
As a fella' over 70, all you said relates to my experience. And, many folks of my generation, are happy DJT was elected the other day, thus we can sleep a lot better at night, knowing he is looking out for my country, USA,. Already, people are happier I talk with, and can talk freely...a much better "Collective" mentality. Thanks.

Thank you! I'm glad it resonated with you.
Why don't we change these things when we're young? Then we won't have to worry about it when we turn 65 or search for videos like this one.
You’re absolutely right! Starting these habits early can make a huge difference. But it's never too late to make positive changes, and each stage of life brings unique insights. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Informative, but no need for words to read. Very distracting
Thank you for the feedback! I'll work on making future videos more streamlined and focused.

Why wait until 65? Most of this is just common sense. You forgot to say dont get involved in religion.
Great points! Sometimes, even common sense needs a reminder, especially as priorities shift with age. And everyone's journey is different, so we try to cover a bit of everything. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Please stop the purple blob. Sooooo distracting.
Thanks for the feedback! I’ll keep it in mind for future videos-appreciate you letting me know!
Men want young teen bodies not mature women. Its hard being old. Your body is old and unwanted.
Every stage of life has its beauty and value. True connection goes beyond age or looks-confidence and self-respect are what truly make someone shine.
This is not new. The title is for clicks. What you are saying here is all over the internet because it applies to all ages and do it is better explained just don’t have your catching title.
