Today is already messy.
Packing, laundry, still unpacking from the Philippines, rushing to the airport…
A day where movement usually disappears.

But here’s the truth:
on days like this, five minutes matters more than anything else.

I haven’t done my tiny routine yet -
but I will.
Because five minutes is all I have,
and using them is what keeps me adventure-ready.

Not perfection.
Not big plans.
Just five minutes I won’t skip.

Start small.
Stay human.
Keep moving.

If you want to stay consistent on chaotic days too, I will be happy to share my 5-minute Adventure Rituals ♥️

Adventure after 40 isn’t built by perfect routines.
It’s built by restarts.

I’m back from the Philippines, my body forgot what movement feels like, my schedule is chaos… and I still started with five minutes.

That’s the truth of midlife adventure.
Not perfection.
Consistency.
Restarting.
Again and again.

Start today.
Start small.
Your body remembers.

Start with my 5-minute Adventure Rituals. That’s exactly how I’m restarting too.

2025 taught me many things.
Mainly that I don’t know as much as I thought I did.
Rude.
But useful.

Turns out short workouts beat heroic ones.
Flexibility beats rigid plans.
Doing beats overthinking.
And midlife is not about slowing down - it’s about choosing better and having more fun.

Also learned that changing your mind is not failure.
It’s feedback.

Highly recommend listening when life taps you on the shoulder.
Or trips you while you’re running.

Nope. Not today.

We adjust and keep moving.

There’s a big difference between being considerate
and constantly explaining yourself.

I’m done apologizing for needing rest.
For charging what my work is worth.
For moving my body the way I enjoy.
For building a life around freedom, travel, and meaningful work.

None of this came for free.
I worked for it.

And I’ll keep choosing it.

This is what actually worked for me in 2025:

Consistency without burnout.
Challenge instead of comfort.
Space instead of overscheduling.
Inspired work over forced routine.

I stopped clinging to “steadiness” as security.

And started trusting myself and the process – more and more.

That changed everything.

We don’t talk about this part of midlife adventure enough.

The tired mornings.
The random aches.
The partner negotiations.
The stomach negotiations.
The constant “where the f@* # is the toilet?” moments.

It’s not glamorous.
It’s not effortless.
And honestly… that’s why it hits so deep.

Because when you step out of your comfort at 40, 45, 50…
You feel EVERYTHING more intensely.
The mess, the magic, the fear, the pride.

And then it happens.
That tiny moment when the view, or the water, or the sunset hits you -
and you remember exactly why you said yes.

Adventure is messy.
But it’s absolutely worth it.
Trust me.

Tell me:
What’s one midlife moment that pushed YOU out of your comfort zone lately?
I want to hear your stories. They matter more than you think.

27/12/2025

Clarity.
Freedom.
Inspiration.
Movement.
Commitment.

These are the five things I’m carrying into 2026.
Not because they’re comfortable.
But because they’re honest.

I work better when I’m inspired.
I live better when I’m moving.
And I’m done building my life around other people’s rules.

I know what I want.
And I’m choosing it - on purpose.

People think adventure requires perfect fitness or endless motivation.
It doesn’t.
It requires tiny habits that keep your body and mind ready for movement.

Here are the 3 that make travel easier for me - anywhere in the world:

1. Move 10 minutes before coffee
Walk to your coffee instead of drinking it inside.
It wakes up joints, balance, and energy.

2. Drink water first
Inconvenient, yes.
But your body, brain, and mood will thank you all day.

3. Plan ONE thing
Midlife adventure thrives on clarity, not overwhelm.
Pick the one meaningful thing.
If there’s time or energy, add another.

Small habits create big adventures.

2025 didn’t follow my plan.

It took me twice to 4,500 meters.
Let me see Everest for the first time.
Had me walking the Camino with 10 kg on my back – and loving every step.
Moved me to tears in places I didn’t expect.
And asked me to let go of work that once felt stable.

Some of it hurt. Emotionally and financially.
Some of it surprised me. Physically and mentally.

What this year gave me wasn’t comfort or certainty.
It gave me clarity.
It has never been clearer than now what I want for the rest of my life.

And I’m not done chasing it.

Repeat a story long enough… and it becomes a belief.

Too old.
Too tired.
Too busy.
Too late.

None of these stories are true - but they’ll run your life if you never question them.

Adventure after 40 isn’t about being fearless or perfectly fit.
It’s about choosing one tiny habit that reminds your body and mind what it feels like to be alive again.
