4. Accompany your children in their flight
Whether you’re looking forward to it or dreading it, the time has come for your children to leave the nest: they’ve grown up and are leaving to study or start their professional lives.
It is important to prepare for this departure well in advance so that your children leave with confidence in their future and you remain serene. As with adolescence, this preparation is a subtle mix of independence and support.
In any case, look on the bright side: have confidence in your child, you will build new relationships with the adult he is becoming, live special moments when he comes back for lunch at your place (and prepare for him those salmon papillotes he loves) and find time for you and your couple.
3. Enjoy your free time
Yes, you are liberated, delivered and you intend to enjoy it. You are totally right, but what to do with all this free time that is offered to you?
- Take care of yourself (treat yourself to a facial or a body treatment at a beauty salon once a month).
- Get back into sports to keep yourself healthy and keep a harmonious figure.
- Practice your favorite activities.
- Build a new life project with your partner to boost your relationship.
- If you are single, don’t despair: there are countless 50-year-olds who have found their soul mate after blowing out their 50th birthday.
- Find your friends who may be in the same situation as you!
