Hello everyone,

How are you doing today? 😊

As we get older we have a lifetime of experiences that have made us wiser.

If you could give your younger self one piece of advice, what would it be?

Take care,

Somya from the Carenity team 🌼

Take the chance. Just do it without overthinking.

Pay more attention to life. It goes by way too fast. Have more time and patience for your kids and don’t worry so much about housework and things that as we get older we should be teaching younger people to chill out about.

I would tell my younger self to remember to always think before you act, especially during times of elevated moods based on emotionally-charged situations. THINK!

@Grusteegrot2492 I had to learn to stop being self-destructive every time I got angry. Find healthy ways to get that out. I am learning to respect myself. Hate to admit it but I'm 59 and just now realizing I have value. Even though lots of folks would say I have "made it" ..... I lost myself in the mix.
