15 MORE Things to Stop Doing After 60

Today's video is all about shaking things up and breaking free from the things that might be holding you back in your 60s. I'm talking about the 15 things you can stop doing right now, and trust me, these little changes can make a big difference in your life in your sixties and beyond.

We're talking about things like ditching self-doubt, saying no to things that drain your energy, putting yourself first, banishing negative thoughts and stepping out of your comfort zone to try new things. I'll also be discussing about letting go of outdated beliefs and embracing the present moment instead of dwelling in the past.

This video is all about seizing the day and making the most of this amazing time in our lives. So, grab a cup of tea, kick back and get ready for some inspiration and a fresh perspective on life in your 60s. If you have your ideas, please share them in the comments below. See you there!

This video is 100% right! I’m a 76 year old widow. My husband died in 2021 after we were married for 53 wonderful years! Then my 52 year old son died of a massive heart attack 10 months later.
I could crawl into a hole and die, but I don’t choose to do that! I travel, belong to a great neighborhood book club, force myself to get out of the house and am doing ok. Your video is a great reminder for things I already know! Thank you wonderful Margaret!!!❤

This is a cool channel! I'm going to be 85 this year --almost exactly ten years older than you! I've lived alone currently widowed 12:years. I'm blessed with good health, nice neighbors, and a lot of interests. So glad to find your channel today. I too started life in England, am in the US now for many years. And I'm really enjoying your chat, you young kid! I'm active online, with a blog I've been writing for 15 years, about my art and other problems (!). Anyway thank you.

I had a life long fear of drowning. When I was 57 and retired I decided to learn to swim, by myself, from YouTube. I did it in a year; 6 days a week for one hour pool time. I lost weight, got muscle and better cardio fitness, and I can do front crawl breathing on both sides comfortably (and breaststroke, too).

Nobody loves me, so I have to learn to love myself.

Loved this video, and I actually had a belly laugh over the comment...'I'm going to loose 20lbs in 3 months ' ' No you're not ' . Puts things in perspective. Thank you so much dear Margaret, from an Aussie down under 😊

[susielainemarble]

Don’t look back that’s not where your going. Such a great reminder especially for some one going through “grey” divorce. Thank you 🙏🏻

At age 82 I'm well past the age you speak of, but what you are saying apply to women like me as well as the 60 or 70 year old ladies out there. BTW I don't feel any older than I did when I was 60. Thank you so much. .

❤ this video, much more helpful and constructive than a counsellor I saw! After 2 abusive marriages I am judging myself constantly as a mother of 4, my real self is completely quelled by my irrational fear of them 'falling out with me' if I speak my mind. I'm weary that my life's worth is only their good opinion - thanks Margaret for shaking up my mind set, and not before time ❤ xx

I am "old school" and proud of it. I never thought the world would be so strange when I got to older age. I am 3-4 generations removed from what I learned and what worked in my life. This world is no longer mine. I choose to live my life without learning all these new things that are actually more difficult that what I grew up with. I am not going to be forced into the latest and greatest and more expensive items when I can still buy what works for me. I am just fine and not lacking with my beliefs.

I believe in goals, even unrealistic goals! I went through yoga teacher training at age 61 and it was a fabulous experience! Some of my friends thought it was an stretch goal to be sure - but once I got over my fears it was much more doable than I imagined. And now I’m a yoga teacher! 😊🧘🏼

[yarnpower]

Wow, I really needed to hear this especially about not looking back, learning to say no and to be as kind to myself as I am to others. Thank you!

[celtainweaver]

Im 58 and thoroughly enjoying listening to you. It all seems applicable now

Your videos are so very well done because of who you are. Absolute proof that you can have a successful YouTube channel without all the extra bells and whistles. I want to start my own YouTube channel but was intimidated by all of the high tech stuff other people use. But because of you, I understand that I don’t need all that. You are inspiring Margaret. Thank you.

Hello Margaret, This is exactly what I needed to hear. I find myself Isolating from family and friends at times. There are times when I want to be in my own bubble or cocoon. Thanks for sharing this video. It was very informative and helpful! I'm making a mental note. ❤ Have a wonderful day! 😊😊 you have inspired me to do better. I need to do something constructive with my life. I pray 🙏 every day for God to guide me on the right path. Thanks for your words of wisdom.
I love all your videos. By the way, we share the same name.

This video is one of those to keep and look at it often, to remind ourselves to live better lives after 60 (and 70 :) ) Thank you so much Margaret. Love your dress too.

You’ve helped me so much over these last few years with your videos, Margaret. Your enthusiasm about life is inspiring. Thank you, thank you!

I have decided to stop holding grudges, which I was doing in an effort to protect myself (because of two bad marriages and being backstabbed by many people since then). What a difference it makes. People are not ignoring me and my outlook is much healthier. The concept is to purposely try to bring joy into other people's life. I got that from the book, Women Rowing North which was recommended in these comments on a different video.

It’s a beautiful morning and I needed a boost, a little pep talk ❤ Thank you Margaret, you are a wonderful gift

[marilynharris]

Be a VICTOR, not a victim! Sometimes it’s hard, but it’s one of my mantras.

[susanmolstad]

This was a great way to start my day. These 15 things are so spot on, it was good to hear again and remind ourselves to move forward and live our 2nd chapter the way we want!! Thank you
