You have hit the nail on the head with this observation. I've been feeling this way..I'm 61 and starting to notice that I don't quite fit in this chaotic world the way I used to. Then I think to myself"did my Momma feel this way at my age?". Then I tell myself that it's the natural order of things.......except that there are changes in this world that are not normal.

She told me how fortunate I was, how blessed by living in my time, having my choices, and to never forget that my hardships would be someone else’s blessings.

If you try to do it all yourself and put everything you have into caregiving, eventually you'll end up wearing yourself out, and you'll end up sick yourself. I know it's extremely difficult, but some time off for self care is really important. I wish you the best.

As A nurse, I have seen many ways caregivers take care of themselves. One is creating a quiet area in the backyard or house to go and be alone. A neighbor of mine had a wooded area behind her house. She created a small open area to place a small bench and chair. Everyday about 1pm while her husband, who had Alzheimer's, napped she would go and just sit in the seclusion alone. She continues to speak how that area continues to soothe her even though she's lost her husband.

At 72, I do feel the most sorry for my grown son and grandchildren. This is such a harsher time than we grew up in. I am pretty content , even though I live alone , and am a plane ride away from everyone. I do pray and feel grateful everyday that I am still in good health, in my paid for home. I know health issues as people age can be so stressful. So I am able to garden , do my crafts, make something good to eat, read, and just try and remain content for where I am at this point of my life. I have a few good friends. But I am feeling the need to volunteer and meet others. I do notice I spend a lot of days alone.. But even though I am alone, I am never lonely. Thank you Jesus!

That’s right Myra. I find technology stressful and takes up too much of my time. It’s work! Use it only for enjoyable activities like You Tube. Like Sandra said, take control. We can’t have technology control us. It’s only another TOOL we can use, if we CHOOSE.

Sandra, I used to start my morning with my coffee and the news. Recently, decided to have my morning coffee on my patio watching the birds and the beauty of each morning begin. Definitely a much healthier, better way to begin my day. I also walk most every morning, and decided to verbalize my daily gratitude journal entry, out loud, on my walk. That has become a very positive reminder of how blessed I am with my health and so much more. Thank you for the reminder that stressing over things we cannot control is an unfortunate, sad waste of our precious energy and time. Focusing inward, family, friends, and most of all ourselves, to take care of, nurture and enjoy is a more productive way to spend our days. Thank you for your inspiring talks. Be well💕🌻

HI from Annie thank you for your kind words of inspiration. Yes I agree it is a sad world out there and we have to focus on ourselves more and take better care of our mind body and spirit, if we don't no one else will. Reaching out to family is good if you have one that wants you and cares about you. But if your family ignores and pushes you out then what can you do nothing I have reached out so many times in past to be thrown out told to go away and the is sad coming from my only daughter she is 45yrs should know better. She won't let my grandkids see me or their father we are shut out. It is awful don't even have their contact details at all no address no phones etc blocked from facebooks etc. I have done nothing to deserve this is all came about when she remarried for second time, it was her buby who started it. I thought she loved me enough to say NO to her second huby and his control freak ways etc. We can't control much in our lives these days and it is scary and depressing. I have few friends they have changed only care about themselves and their families have no time to chat to me or met for a cuppa it is very disappointing when you trust others and they let you down. But as you say try to be in the present moment I try the best I can and just pray a lot for so many people and good things for this earth.

Thank you Sandra for doing this video. I too find this a difficult time. 99% of the people I talk to feel quite unsettled. In these conversations I try to give words of encouragement. I end up walking away feeling encouraged by the other person’s words. It definitely feels like a Romans 8:28 moment. Helping others whether in word or in deed gives a person a sense of purpose. The best decision I have ever made was in 1983, accepting Jesus as my Savior. He is my foundation in life. Romans 10:9

So sorry for your loss. Sending hugs.

I'm 68. Stress can shorten a person's life. I have learned about Stoicism. You are right about focusing only on those things we have control over, and not on the things we don't. I work full-time at Walmart. It would be so easy for me to get all twisted up over the things I have to tolerate there, but I choose not to. It really isn't the things that happen to us in life, but what we choose to tell ourselves about it that makes all the difference. Happiness comes from within, not from external sources.

At 70 I used to feel exactly like you do. Two things changed my world. At the advice of a great friend he suggested I turn off any ‘information’ mediums in my life. These mediums are masters of sensationalism. Today, I only read the Wall Street Journal to get all of the information I need (stay away from the Opinion section). The second thing I did was listen to my 40 year old step son. He has a blessed life that allows him to travel a lot and meet hundreds of people a year. He has convinced me that the heart of our great country is nothing like what is described by the corrupt media outlets. Bottom Line: the real world we live in is nothing like the world that is painted by the media. We all need to get out and find the country my step son has found. It’s out there for you to enjoy. People are still amazing.

Yes- we all feel it- greedy corporations, inflation, cost of living, no rent control,the Govts today serve themselves . All systems are deteriorating from legal to education, to health, they don’t want us to travel, fly, own a car- In fact it seems they would prefer we were dead- it’s one day at a time for many- life is short- enjoy the hours with small things, nature, pets, family, make a meal, swim, cycle, sleep- bless you all ❤

Well, you're a breath of fresh air, Sandra! Wonderful message. I'll share one small suggestion, that's so easy to put into regular practice. When we "demonstrate curiosity" about others, we convey a message that the other person matters. Simply asking someone how they're doing (the cashier at the grocery store, the young employee checking me in at the gym, the person taking my coffee order), it gives them a small opportunity to share, and conveys caring and interest. It seems to make someone's day, even momentarily, brighter by simply and genuinely asking: how are you doing today? You have a new subscriber from western Canada. Warm regards.

Hi Sandra I feel exactly this way too. I’m 72 and am feeling the losses of people dear to me - beloved cousin who passed in March and a friend of over 50 years refused to accept my efforts to restore our relationship after a falling out- she was my confidant and we helped each other through many a crisis. Meanwhile my adult children make choices that worry me but like you said in another video, it’s a daily practice to let it go and let it be. I do exactly what you have prescribed: monthly facials are a special treat I give myself and help me look the best I can look for my age, I walk in the park, and I do lap swimming at local park pool. There’s something about swimming under the sunshine and enjoying the music and happy chatter of the people in the exercise class in the next lanes that make me feel part of life. But underneath is still the sadness that comes with attachment….what we love we will lose someday😢

As the secular, physical world peels away from you and your soul, remember there is much to be gained in the love of God and his kingdom. You can't live in His eternity until you shed everything of this world. That's what's going on. From earthly caterpillar to eternal butterfly. So take heart, the losses are part of the path to eternal gain.

As I approach my 78th year on Earth there are so many things I'm beginning to realize that didn't catch my notice in years past. One looks back and realizes that you can't change the past nor can you control the future. My children have chosen not be in my life and I've come to accept it, but also choose not to be bitter about it. This body that I currently reside will no longer function at some point so I must face the inevitability of death in the coming years and allow my soul to move on. I have today, and the joy it holds. Thank God for music and Cigars.

Hello Sandra...thank you for sharing this message. By nature I'm a very positive person, but the past couple of years have been so draining on my spirit. I recognized this, so made an active plan to get off social media and stop watching the news. That helped Tremendously! Then I started learning new things (sewing, gardening, painting). I started hand writing letters to friends and all of that combined has been a real confort to me. I also actively withdrew my desire to impose my views on others. I let everyone be what they want to be. We're all on our own journey and that's ok. I wrote out a bunch of affirmations and prayers and I have them posted on a bulletin board that I read before getting out of bed.

I am very active in my church.. I take a 3 mile walk weather permitting with my dog Otis that’s how I get my head clear. I try to watch limited news, but I am in the know. I am 72 years old and praise God that I am still very healthy, but I work at it every day with my walks with my eating with my upper body weights. I don’t sweat the little things anymore. I take things sometimes a minute at a time, and I lay it at God’s feet and leave it there. The only one that is in control is Jesus Christ.

I agree with you. The future always brings change. In this storm of life, finding peace and calmness is important. Human contact and sharing is important. As one gets older, one loses friends, family, and life's colours seem dimmer. We mustn't accept the dimness. Finding hobbies, hobbies you can share with others, finding new friends helps so much. For myself, I write stories and one of my hobbies is being a movie buff. I used to go to a cafe which showed movies for free in the evenings, the same customers often went and it became like a club and we would discuss the movies together. Unfortunately, it was in a different country which I had to leave not long ago, I really miss that. Now, back in my own country, I'd love to start my own cafe/cinema, but it seems difficult here. The problem with living abroad for so long and being forced to leave (due to the country's transformation and change in politics) one must leave behind all one's friends and family and return to a homeland that now feels foreign. No more family, no more friends, all unfortunately left behind. Having to adapt is important, very very difficult, but essential for the spirit to continue.

I am having a tough time with all going on too. Someone I have loved all my life no longer wants my friendship. I have learned over time to be ok with that. 💔 Seasons of life. I’m drinking water, exercising with stretches, fixing small lunches each day, calling friends from time to time, doing housekeeping chores. Also, going through things. If I no longer need/want something maybe someone else would enjoy it. Papers - grab a stack once a week and make sure I toss most of it. Devotions then sleep. I listen to a sleep story and I thought this would not work but it sure does. I hope someone finds something in this that works for them. 🌹

Good morning Sandra. Thank you for your thoughts, I hate what's happening in our country but we have to think that God is in control and pray for tomorrow to be a better day. Love you. ❤️

Thanks so much

While struggling through the final arrangement process for my wife of 26 years, the funeral director shared with me some much needed guidance. He spoke of a recent widowed client who had also lost a spouse. The man he explained, had given up his purpose in life and began to drink in order to bury his pain. Ultimately he lost his home, his way, and worst of all his remaining family and friends. Looking back now, I wonder if the story was even true. However, I've decided it doesn't really matter. It was a well intentioned and timed message that helps me to move forward to this day. I do my best to focus on taking care of myself and my 2 teen daughters. And to practice gratitude at every opportunity. We only get one chance at this life. And tomorrow is a brand new day....

I'm 60 and I'm happier now than I was when I was younger, frankly.

Acknowledge, live in the moment and then treasure it. Concentrate more on the things you actually have control over. Reach out to people you love and be cheerful. Self care for physical and mental health. All great survival techniques in this more than crazy world. You said it all, beautiful lady. What helps me is listening to music that lifts me up and having faith, "this too will pass". Hey we've gotten this far, right.

You bring sunshine to us viewers. I appreciate this. And yes life is stress for me. Watching

Good morning Sandra, I'm glad to hear you speak on mindfulness as a way to stop the anger and fear swirling around us at this time. As the Bible says, "This, too, shall pass". I'm moving to live near my daughter. She's a great support and comfort to me. It's a crazy two weeks, but this move motivates me and I wake up smiling every morning. I love listening to you and consider you another big sister in my life.

Thank you for this today. I too have been stressed for a few years primarily over what is happening in our country. I know as one person I cannot change anything but it still is hard to not be upset. I have never in my 68 years of life ever seen such division and unkindness amongst people, not only strangers but family due to politics. It is disturbing and creates a feeling of helplessness. I have started to workout again which helps me to focus on myself and calms me.

Dear Sandra, thank you for expressing how you are feeling. I sense that so many of us feel a sense of helplessness with world events. It's not always easy to 'roll with the punches' life throws at us. As you said we must try and live in the moment. I find being in nature helps and I like to see and hear young people around me. Living in England, I really appreciate sunny days too 😂 and I am grateful for all the good things in my life. Please take care and keep making the videos we all love and can relate to. ❤❤

I love this message so much! I decided in 2023 I’m changing my life. Moving more, skincare routines, calling friends and visiting family, these have all helped me to improve my life.

I am 67 and I have over come this feeling. I am lucky to wake up every day and smile.

You are not alone, Sandra. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by all what is going on around me. I give God thanks for my blessings, and try to reach out to those in need as mucho as I can. I now have a bird feed in my backyard. It gives me so much joy and pleasure to watch the birds as I do dishes or clean up my kitchen. It's the little things that make the difference.

I relate to this topic and discussion. I’m 53 and the world has changed so much in many very concerning ways. I feel powerless in most ways, but I think it’s helpful to keep in mind, one must not give up. Staying true to ones beliefs and values is paramount. On a daily basis, it really is about self care. For me, it sounds like you, it’s about my routine of eating well, daily yoga/ pilates/ walking and movement of some kind. I recently moved to a calmer city and that helped me de stress from some of the environmental stressors. I limit news and instead watch things of interest on KZread. Your channel has helped restore some sanity to an otherwise crazy world!

With 20 years of housebound illness involving daily pain and fatigue, I have learned how to live simply and the only thing that gives me hope is the Lord and where I’ll be after this life, in a spectacular, glorified body, in the presence of Jesus and our Father. I live alone with my wonderful doggie and thankfully, very close to my daughter who understands me inside and out. I am very greatful for these things. Sorry for all the I’s, lol…am 66 yrs young. Thank you for your site, just found you and subscribed.❤️👍😘. God bless you!🙏

You are not the only one Sandra . I am 70 and see so many changes and like you said how things were easier in the younger days. I notice when I go in the grocery store people don’t look at other people or just smile. I don’t know what it is. I often think after wearing masks for so long and being inside it stunted us and maybe made us more introverted. I’m not sure what it is except maybe so many of us are stressed and have fears. So yes, we can control our own lives our thoughts and choices . I pray there is an uplifting that happens to shift us all into being a loving compassionate society once again. Thank you for your reminder and though provoking topics that affect us all .❤️🌈

Thanks for the love you share

Since you asked…..to deal with what’s going on in our world currently, I pray for others, volunteer to help others, read myBible, stay close to the Lord Jesus, be thankful for what’s good, appreciate the little things, write my government representatives, endeavor to not be too focused on the news, and then the things you mentioned also. Thanks for your encouragement! You are a lovely lady!

Tuesday blessings to you Sandra. Life is very stressful all around. I only watch fun shows on TV, enjoy nature walks, have coffee with a friend and pray a lot. Thanks for sharing ❤️🤗

You speak from my soul, dear Sandra. The world is changing so fast. It is hard to live with it. Let's all try with more understanding and love. It can succeed to change something. I am completely with you. 💖

I’ve gone through ALL my media an DELETED ALL things that are Not TEACHING me a Good skill or that is Negative. I have been sending Cards to old friends an others in my community/church. An made an Effort to Look others in the eyes an S M I L E Ya know what I have had so many people smile back an light conversation as we move through the process of pumping Gas, food shopping, walking the dog etc. I’ve pulled in an reached out in tangible ways and I feel so blessed and thankful. I do feel what you’re saying but I can’t fix others so I fix myself an my life… ❤

I agree about the world not being as happy of a place as it once was … im 55 and keeping up with technology is a full time job and im exhausted amd overwhelmed all the time… plus there is the insane gun violence, meaningless tv shows with debauchery on parade, and financial concerns regarding retirement and health care that is so uncertain… some of the advancements are fun or helpful, but i long for a simpler time

1:42 pm Dear Sandra, thank you for being authentic and open. The world could sure use more lovely people like you. After losing all 3 of my siblings, having my father pass and just weeks later my 29 year old son pass unexpectedly and my job gone then….. on and on. It seemed there would be no let up. My grief in losing my son was a million times more intense than any loss I ever suffered. It has now been 8 years and I feel I have finally come through hell and am back but not the same. Yet, able to laugh and enjoy like again. I never though I could fall so deep being a life coach who had worked with lots of people to help them go through transitions and heal. What I learned about grief it is it’s own train and you cannot stop it. You just have to ride it out or get crushed in its tracks. It did not take 8 years to laugh and enjoy life but I learned that you never know when the grief train in going to take you for another ride. Although over time, there becomes more distance between the rides grief takes you on. Taking breaks and doing simple nourishing things or just normal things helped me. Unfortunately, I was pretty isolated and did not have supportive family to turn to. I hope you are surrounded by love and support, as the loss of a spouse according to the grief counseling I went to at hospice said the loss of a spouse usually has the most intense grief for the first two years and a child five yet, grief is something that never totally goes away as you know from other losses. Please give your self the grace and love that you give to all of us as you navigate your new normal. Much love and appreciation! ❤ Michele

Thank you Sandra for sharing your thoughts on what so many of us are feeling. What I have been doing was stop putting the news on when I first get up and instead I have been reading my Bible and spending time praying over my prayer list for the needs of others. It has helped me refocus my thoughts and intention for the day. Taking this life One day at a time. Also making a conscious effort to do more self care and reaching out to others just like you suggested. I really appreciate you and your timely videos. Thank you ❤️

God, getting old really isn't as depressing as your video suggests.

I like to go outside and try to bring beauty into my yard with my flowers. It gives me so much joy when they all bloom. My hope is that when people drive by they will enjoy the beauty also. Have a nice day.

My dear Sandra. Greetings to you from Ethiopia. You are not alone. I feel the same but what strengthen me primarily is relying on my all knowing creator and his teachings to love one another and more. Then follows your inspirational teaching on love, kindness, living for now and self care. No matter the circumstances that I am going through when I leave it to God my joy and peace are restored and the anxiety or stress reduces or disappears. Thanks for sharing us frankly. You have reflected which most of us pass through

One of the changes in the world today, in North American society anyway, is that more and more people have no one or very few people to turn to when they need a close friend. Thank you for your videos. They are vulnerable and honest. And especially during these times, they help to make others feel like they're not alone.

Hello beautiful lady. Your words resonate totally with me, and not watching TV and the negativity associated with some social media, I don't interact with it. I find by uplifting others with my words and gestures, it makes my heart feel full, as I am putting out positivity and healing to assist others. If we all focused on being mindful as to what we vibrate out to others, what a better environment and world it would become. Thank you for all you do, and for being honest, as just being human we have all been through such challenging times. I find by taking the best from the past, blessing it, and moving on to have some purpose in this life. My father said to me before he passed, be happy, useful and productive. Such helpful words.

It's sad that when people get older that's when they need people the most and that's when they're left alone.

I love your channel. You give me hope. I’m soon to be 58 and as I go along and think of life further down, how will I be? You provide inspiration to my future self .

We live in a different America. We cannot control what is happening, but we can show our love in so many ways. Being kind to someone every day. A note to a friend or someone who needs the written word. Giving a $20 bill to a mom with children. Give away something you don’t need anymore & they can use. I send my brother some chocolate & almonds. He has Alzheimers. We talk. Self care is giving to others IMO. God will take care of the rest.

I agree with you. Times are different. Things have changed but you haven't lost your beauty.

My life has a medical theme this year. So many friends and relatives suffering from heart problems, an aunt diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease, or just plain old age. My friend is depressed because he had open heart surgery after collapsing in the street where strangers saved his life. I told him "We're all just happy you're still alive." Sometimes it feels like we're in the middle of a whirlwind.

Yes Sandra! This change -to the worse- is happening all over the world. It seems that time is running faster than before. Thank you for your insight! From Greece, with love, Zeta.

I would pray on it and ask the Good Lord to take this burden off. If you believe, give it to the Higher Power. May God help you with your stress, Sandra. God Bless. x

Great topic! To help with stress I do 478 breathing each morning and night. It is super quick. Breathe into belly for 4 seconds; hold for 7 seconds and exhale through mouth for 8 seconds making a “whoosh” sound. (Developed by Dr. Andrew Weil) I also try to spend time in nature each day, preferably walking.

Thank you, Sandra, for these supportive videos! Listening to your calm voice helps me to feel calmer inside. I do sometimes feel like the equilibrium of the whole world is off right now. The world literally feels upside down. I find staying away from MSM "news" helps me feel happier. Also prayer , or just looking into the faces of my beautiful dog, cat, or grand daughters grounds me and fills me with instant joy! Sending you lots of love and prayers for you and your family.❤

Lovely Sandra, thank you encouraging us all to be thankful for the little things that give us joy. I’m 63 diagnosed with Parkinson’s but so far I’m still fitter than many less than half my age. You look beautiful as always, and your blouse is gorgeous! Love from N Ireland 🇬🇧

​@Fyrinspector1923 I did the same. All I ever heard about was how much money she had. It was tedious. The last communication was via email. She accused me of behaving badly by ignoring a mutual friend. (We were a bit of a trio). I didn't have a clue what she was talking about but chose not to argue. We were at the beginning of the pandemic which made it all the easier. No regrets.

Sandra, I find myself very upset with the current state of our great country. I no longer turn on the news and find myself content just being at home and "taking it easy." Simply watching the birds in our backyard reminded me that they don't listen to the news but choose to sing much of the day away. It put a smile on my 76 year old face. I notice there is a lot of opposition in just about everything in our lives as people argue and fuss about every subject. Feelings are so strong and voicing them comes out in anger and hate. I am trying to practice keeping my old lips shut and taking a moment to think about what is on my mind and ask myself is it is really important that I share my thoughts. Just keeping them near to me is most often the best option. I really enjoy listening to your soothing words and I wish you all the best life has to offer. GOD BLESS YOU, Nancy, Leland North Carolina

Thank you for discussing this topic...dealing with the stresses life brings can be depressing. I am a woman of faith, yet I still feel overwhelmed at times. Thank God we don't have to stay here forever...and that God has prepared a better place for those who believe in the salvation Jesus gives.

Thank you for discussing this. I have really been put through the wringer in the past 3 years. Cancer, divorce, selling the home I raised my Children in. Then on April 21 I was in a car accident, a young girl who had no driver’s license, no insurance, and expired plates hit my brand new car I’ve only had for less than 2 months. I keep asking my friends, why is God allowing all of this happen to me??? Thank you for sharing your feelings. Not that I want you to be depressed, I am so sorry for that. But it made me feel better about my own life filled with depressing things when I hear beautiful you share that life isn’t perfect while you live in such a beautiful place, you are successful, and so pretty and fit for your age. Yes, I feel a lot of unhappiness and anger in the people around me. I think the pandemic has caused a lot of that. My best friend told me this weekend, the whole world is going to hell in a hand basket. I think that is true. I am going to try my best to make MY little environment around me a happy place.

Don’t know your age but I’m 74 , old enough to remember the Bay of Pigs, Kennedys assassination, Viet Nam and on and on and on. But I’ll tell you what makes me happy now is the internet. I am able to listen to great music , watch wonderful, inspiring movies, read books about all subjects and take on line courses dealing with the every thing under the sun. I feel more alive now then ever before and when I think about it I realize that how I feel is my business and I control my responses. I often refer to the Serenity prayer and it works to help me get through the rough spots . Lord, give me the serenity to accept things I can’t change, the courage to change the things I can change and the wisdom to know the difference. Works for me

You are quite right to say these things. My 88 year old mom and I discuss this topic often. While change itself is universal and inevitable, the type of change that is occurring now is pervasive,insidious, and largely toxic in nature. To say that things in general were less stressful, for most people, in the 1960s and 1970s (for example) is not just the wistful reimagining of a doddering old crank. It is a fact.
