Lifestyle

This is your time so live a lifestyle you will enjoy. Follow your passions; have fun; do the things you’ve always wanted to do; be strong and healthy in mind and body. Seize the day….Live life your way!

Our lifestyle is very important to us at Young at Heart. Our family life, friends, sailing and travel are aspects of our lives that we treasure.  Life needs to have balance for overall well-being and happiness, so we run this blog and business around our lifestyle, not the other way around.

BoomersNextStep’s planning for the future starts with lifestyle. We encourage you to  recognise how you want to live the next phase of your life before you make any other decisions.  Regardless of whether you decide to have a traditional retirement, or boost your retirement income through online business or employment, we encourage you to create a life that you love.

We particularly are interested in Travel, Leisure activitiesHealth and Well-beingMindsetRelationships. Whilst we may not be posting articles on these topics regularly we would love your input.  Contact us if you would like to write an article related to any of these topics.

  • How to Regain Your Confidence: Face Your Fears October 29, 2014
    Regain your confidence by facing your fears Confidence is critical, but when you are experiencing problems and want to make changes in your life it is common to temporarily misplace your belief in yourself. Sometimes, just when you most need it, your confidence is at an all-time low. The key here is to recognise the sources ...
  • How to Regain Your Confidence When It’s Been Shattered October 29, 2014
    How’s your mojo? Do you need to regain your confidence? It’s funny how, when you are younger, you presume that older people really have their act together. You might have considered them stuck in their ways or old-fashioned, but I’ll bet it never occurred to you that they may be lacking confidence. Certainly I doubt you considered ...
  • New Zealand Travel – Visiting Rotorua September 29, 2014
    On our recent holiday in New Zealand we had the wonderful experience of visiting Rotorua and the surrounding areas. I remember Rotorua clearly from my first visit to New Zealand as a young University student. It smelt bad. It was an old and daggy looking town. There was steam coming out of drainpipes. I didn’t like ...
  • Croatia Cruise Experience September 24, 2014
    A Cruising Holiday: Croatia Cruise Experience We have just booked an amazing holiday for August.  Croatia cruise vacation and touring there for 3 weeks sounds fabulous to me. We tend to be independent travellers, finding our own deal and deciding on the itinerary. Getting a bit off the beaten track where possible appeals too.  However this particular ...
  • Visit New Zealand – Coromandel Peninsula September 10, 2014
    About 2 hours drive from Auckland New Zealand is the Coromandel Peninsula, an area of extremely beautiful scenery.   Blue seas, glorious bays, many islands dotted in bays and thriving small towns made this a highlight of our visit to New Zealand’s North Island. The official New Zealand tourism website describes the area glowingly. “The Coromandel, with its pristine beaches, native ...
  • Places to Visit in New Zealand – Coromandel Peninsula Cruise September 3, 2014
    Places to Visit in New Zealand We recently enjoyed a brief road trip around the central part of the North Island of New Zealand. The scenery was spectacular, the food was world class and it was a wonderful way to relax and re-energise. The Coromandel Peninsula is an area of New Zealand we had never visited ...
  • Coping With The Death Of Your Parents June 27, 2014
    How Have You Coped With The Death Of Your Parents? It doesn’t matter how old you are, or how emotionally mature, when a parent dies it has a huge impact on your life. I recall sitting at my mother’s funeral, surrounded by a loving husband and children as well as wonderful extended family, feeling bereft. My mother ...
  • Give Me Brisbane Any Day June 18, 2014
    Brisbane Australia It is wonderful to travel the world, and to dream of the places you could visit, but at the same time it is so easy to overlook the treasures that are close to home. Brisbane Australia is a city like that.  It doesn’t have the visual magnificence of Sydney, screaming “Look at me!” whenever you go ...
  • Healthy Feet vs My Hobbit Feet October 17, 2013
    My Hobbit Feet don’t meet the ideal requirements for healthy feet I’ve always hated my feet.  One of my relatives (who only got away with it because his are similar) once described them as Hobbit Feet and that’s how I always think of them….short, sturdy, broad, with stubby toes (even a bit hairy if left unchecked). My flirtation ...
  • Taking Palpitations to Heart: The Arrhythmia of Life September 17, 2013
    My body may be telling me that I’m no spring chicken, but in my mind I’m still about 41.  Why 41 you may ask?  I’ve no idea except that it was a good age to be, a time when I felt fulfilled and content with family, friends and life in general. I sometimes wonder if it ...
  • Thailand Travel Experience – Hill Tribe Family July 21, 2013
    Our Thailand Travel, Visiting the Hill Tribe Family Getting off the beaten track has always been my husband, David’s, idea of a good holiday.  It’s something I enjoy too, especially when it means that you meet the local people rather than other tourists. On our recent 2 week holiday in Thailand we planned the holiday to give ...
