Baby Boomer Women - Over 50 and Fabulous - One More Tip to a Healthier, Happier You

In my last article, I set out 2 tips for baby boomer women to follow to live a healthier, happier life over 50. To recap, I suggested that you should:

1) Eat Right and

2) Exercise

Baby Boomer Women - Over 50 and Fabulous - One More Tip to a Healthier, Happier You

So without further adieu, here is a third tip. And of the three, I think this one is definitely the most important one.

3) Find Your Muse

For years, writers have talked about "finding their muse" which was a way of saying they needed to find the inspiration to write. So when I talk about finding a muse, I am first talking about finding something that inspires your passion.

But there needs to be more to it than that. A passion that keeps you occupied in terms of time, but doesn't produce income is really just a hobby. Now, there is nothing wrong with hobbies. But we're talking about being healthier and happier here.

And one of the biggest sources of unhappiness for people of our generation-indeed, for the people of any generation - is money. More accurately, a lack thereof.

So for me, a muse is different than a hobby in that it not only inspires you, but it provides income as well. Now I'm not suggesting that you need to be money hungry, and to focus on nothing other than your bank account.

But I will tell you that when your bank account is full, everything else seems to fall into place. Problems simply vanish. Everything seems brighter and more pleasant.

Money can be a powerful salve that eases many of life's aches and pains.

But what you don't want is to be a slave to a job that you hate and a corporation that you despise or distrust. That's where the whole failed notion of retirement comes into play. People want to retire from a job they don't like.

A muse isn't like that. A muse keeps you fulfilled, energized and empowered while it simultaneously - sometimes automatically - produces income for you. A muse is fun and at the same time, profitable.

Amazingly, there are plenty of ways to do this, regardless of the economy and regardless of your present financial situation. (JK Rowling was unemployed and homeless before she became a billionaire writing the Harry Potter series. That is a sterling example of someone who really did find their muse, in several different ways.)

Don't think of your muse as a business, although that's what it really is. The time you spend on your muse should be effortless and enjoyable. It should put you in the proverbial zone.

If you think you don't have one, please think again. You do and it's there, somewhere. It took me awhile, but I found mine. I really want you to find your muse too, because - and I'm speaking from experience on this - it will change your life. I'm living proof of that.

So that's the third step to being healthy and happy. Find your muse. Eliminate money worries from your life and, believe me, things will start to fall into place.

In fact, if you do these three simple things, the next 50 years will be better for you than the last 50.
