Life begins at 60: 9 habits to give up to live more lightly

It’s often said that after 60, you should slow down, conform, and “keep things simple.” But what if this misconception is preventing us from seeing a hidden treasure right in front of us? A time when everything can, on the contrary, open up and be reinvented. What would happen if, instead of holding back, we decided to add a touch of daring to our daily lives? The answer might surprise you…
Prioritizing yourself again after years of neglecting yourself.

For a long time, we juggle obligations: family, work, organization… and we end up forgetting our own place in the equation. Turning 60 is precisely the moment when we can reset. Ask ourselves: what truly brings me joy? Rediscover a style that reflects who we are, dare to sign up for that dance or painting class we’ve been eyeing, plan a short trip with friends… It’s amazing how life bursts into vibrant new colors when we finally give ourselves permission to exist for ourselves.

Making peace with the passage of time.
The quest for perfect youth can become a never-ending marathon. What if we changed our perspective? Allowing ourselves rest, moving a little each day, favoring simple and delicious meals: all of this cultivates a beauty that lasts longer than any miracle cream. Our facial features tell our story, much like the pages of a novel we wouldn’t put down for anything in the world. True elegance often stems from self-acceptance and self-compassion.
