The Rules

Ten rules. Say them out loud.

Each rule comes with a mantra, the short version you say to yourself on an ordinary Tuesday.

01
We figure it out.
Nobody handed us instructions then. We don't need them now.
“I figure it out. I always have.”
02
We say yes on our terms.
Our yes used to be automatic. Now it's earned.
“My yes, my terms.”
03
We stay steady under pressure.
We've held it together through worse. When it gets heavy, we get steady.
“When it gets heavy, I get steady.”
04
We pick our people.
Fewer people. Better people. We choose who sits at our table.
“I pick my tribe.”
05
We do it anyway.
Scared was never a reason to stay home.
“Scared or not, I do it anyway.”
06
We get older and bolder.
Our mothers whispered about getting older. We say it out loud.
“Every year, I get better and bolder.”
07
We bypass the BS.
We trust what still works on an ordinary Tuesday. Hype never did.
“I trust my gut.”
08
We bounce back.
We've been knocked down plenty. We know the way back up.
“I bounce back. Every time.”
09
We reinvent on purpose.
Not a midlife crisis. A midlife agenda.
“I choose who I become next.”
10
We go after what we want.
We can be grateful for all of it and still want more.
“I want it. I go get it.”
