5 Things I Stopped Doing After Age 60 (And Why I Don't Miss Them)

Are there things you should stop doing after 60? In this video, I share 5 things I stopped doing once I entered life after 60 — and why I don't miss a single one of them. This is about aging well on your own terms. Somewhere along the way, we absorb expectations about how life should look after retirement. Stay busy. Stay productive. Keep up appearances. But what if the real work of life after 60 isn't about adding more — it's about letting go? In this video, I walk through five things I've stopped doing since turning 60. Not because I "gave up," but because I finally gave myself permission to live differently. These aren't rules — they're gentle realizations from 12 years of retirement and a lot of honest reflection. If you're navigating your own retirement lifestyle changes and wondering whether it's okay to slow down, say no, or simply want an ordinary life — this one's for you.
