FEELING RENEWED AT ANY AGE
2 WAYS TO REV I VE YOUR L I FE THI S SUMMER
If the mercurial spring weather has prevented you from getting out as much as you would have liked these past few months, you might be feeling a bit of cabin fever about now. Luckily, you can still introduce positive changes to your life that help you feel healthier and younger. Here are two ways to awaken your body and mind.
ADOPT A NEW ACTIVITY.
In July 2020, The Mottley Law Firm will be moving from our present location on Bayberry Court to a renovated mid-century office building located at 8001 Franklin Farms Drive, the Koger Building. For those who do not recognize the new address, it is the building that is currently home to Richmond company Swig Life (our new next-door neighbors) and is near the intersection of Forest Avenue and Three Chopt Road. If you are in the neighborhood in July, then please pop in and pay us a visit! We are excited about our new digs. The move will place us in a light-filled first-floor suite that is twice the size of our current space. It will be much easier for our clients to find and access. Our personal offices will be a bit larger, as will our reception area and our conference room. We have extra space for producing podcasts and video content for the firm’s marketing efforts. A new kitchen and break room will be a bonus. And we have office space to accommodate added staff and an intern. As for my personal commute, it is getting cut in half from 10 minutes to five minutes. Let me tell you something. If you ever get your commute down to five minutes, then you will never go back. A short commute makes life so much easier. Of course, when you move into a larger office, you need to add more furniture and artwork. So, I am back into buying mode. Luckily, I have a passion for collecting mid-century art and furniture, which started 10 years ago when I moved into our current office.

As you get older, it’s not uncommon to drift further from the lifestyle you had in your 20s and 30s. Things have settled down, and you know a bit more about who you are, what you enjoy, and what you’re capable of. With this better understanding, you can make choices more aligned with your true interests and personality. Think about getting involved with a new activity you may have always wanted to try but never had the chance, like yoga or even a video game. Trying out new things keeps your brain active. You may even discover a new favorite activity along the way!
PAY ATTENTION TO MENTAL HEALTH.
Although more years provide more experience and knowledge, sometimes they also come with heavy baggage. The loss of a loved one, trauma, and other struggles can impact your life in later years. This is why it’s good to practice mindfulness. Take some time to focus on the present. Go for a walk and listen to the world around you, feel the fresh air against your skin, fill your lungs, and take in everything you can see. Meditation is also a good way to spend a few minutes to focus on your body in the moment and the things in life that make you happy. Practices like these can help you feel lighter, both physically and emotionally.
Growing older doesn’t mean you can’t feel renewed and positive. This isn’t just an impossible idea — it’s a reality.
I hope you and your family are staying safe during these uncertain times, and I hope you have a wonderful beginning to the summer of 2020.
