Downsizing in your 60s is liberating

It is perhaps one of the most liberating things you could ever do for yourself if you are ready to try something new, exciting, and perhaps more fulfilling.

You are free to reimagine and reinvent your life, to make new choices about how you want to live your life… one that directly aligns with what matters most to you.

It’s an opportunity to explore, discover, and create a life that you love.

Downsizing is cathartic

When you downsize to a smaller home, you learn to let go of a lifetime of possessions, often triggering a range of emotions and memories. The process of letting go helps you look back. It reminds you of where you’ve been and memories you’ve made, but it also empowers you to look forward to a new simpler life with fewer distractions and so much stuff. It is life-giving to live with less and that’s cathartic!

Downsizing changes you

During the downsizing journey, a shift takes place within. You start to feel lighter, happier, and more peaceful.

That lightness allows you to clearly see what matters most to you and what doesn’t at this stage of life.

  • Who do you want to spend more time with?
  • Where do you want to go?
  • What do you want to be doing with your time?

Sometimes that happens rather quickly because as you learn to decide what you want and don’t want in your life, it gets easier to focus on the life you are creating once you are free from all of the things that have been holding you back, weighing you down.
