Lifestyle Changes Will Keep You Younger

And it's never too late...

Embrace Change — It Might Just Save You

I spoke to a 24-year-old at the gym this week. He told me, because of major head injuries, he’ll never play rugby again — the sport he loved. I asked how he was coping. He said he was lining up coaching, finishing uni, and moving on with life. There was no anger in his voice. Just calm. Focus. Determination. It moved me.

Don’t Give Up The Dream – Just Have A Different Dream

It reminded me of when I had to give up chasing a professional career in the sport I loved. It felt like the end of the world — until it wasn’t. That moment became a turning point. One I’ve never regretted.

Here’s the truth many men over 40 won’t say out loud:

They feel stuck. Drained. Like they’re watching life roll on without them. The spark’s gone. But what if it didn’t have to be that way?

Change comes for all of us — sometimes with warning, sometimes without. It can be scary, inconvenient, or painful. But it can also be freeing. Uplifting. A rebirth.

Start Small

When you lean into change — rather than resisting it — something powerful happens:

You start to live again. Not on autopilot. Not just existing. But living.

You don’t need to flip your life upside down tomorrow. It can start small:

• Going for a walk after dinner
• Finally signing up for that hobby you always talk about
• Calling that mate you’ve drifted from
• Quitting the job that’s been draining your soul
• Saying yes when you’ve always said no

 

Change doesn’t mean giving up who you are. It means coming back to yourself.

It’s Never Too Late

I’ve had to learn this over 25 years. And if I’m honest, I didn’t always get it right. In my younger days, I was stubborn, convinced I had all the answers. I pushed, resisted, clung on. But when I started seeing change not as a threat, but as a door — everything shifted.

And now? I’m more alive than ever. And you can be too.

If you’re over 40 and feeling stuck, this is your moment.

Don’t wait for a crisis. Don’t wait for permission.

Your health, your happiness, your peace — they matter.

Ready to change for the better?

Start now. Start small. But just start.

Because the best version of you isn’t gone — he’s just waiting for you to move.

 

Keep embracing change,
