5 Things You Should Do Before You Turn 60

​We all know about preparing your retirement and reviewing your 401K as well as your investments as you are approaching 60 years old. However, what should be the simple things that you do not often do in your youth that you should do more when you get to your 60’s? Instead of a bucket list of travels and adventures, you should look more into how to get more in touch with your humanity as you approach your 60’s.

​Look backward. 
As you get older, you realize even more the value of experience. You should try to think of the good times of your youth and middle-aged years. It is also time to reminisce the not-so-good times and think about the lessons you have learned from those experiences. If the lessons are not clear up to this point, congratulate yourself for surviving those years. There is no more time for regrets now. 

Get Organized.
No, this is not about income tax files. This is all about organizing your craft room. Spend hours doing scrapbooking and making cards for family members and loved ones. Use personal paper and experiment on designs. Review old hobbies, and get excited about doing them again. Rearrange stamps or re-sort your collections. 

Fill Your Life With Love.
Get yourself a source of unconditional love. Although many people also give unconditional love, the best thing to do is to get yourself a pet. There can be bottomless pits of worries and needs, and only a pet can get you out of these pits. This should fill your heart with so much love. When you receive so much love from your pet, then you can give just as much to others. 

Hold Your Friends Close. 
Congratulate yourself for surviving the tough times, and what better way to celebrate it than to hold your friends close. These are the people that have given you so much kindness through the years. These are the people who have brought you love and compassion. These are the people you are proud to call your friends. 

Stop Doing the Things That Make You Miserable.
Do not worry anymore or at least, lessen your worries. Most of the worries that you have had through the years have not happened anyway. The sad part is that these worries have made you pretty miserable. Worrying will not do you anything good. It is time to conquer it now so that you can teach confidence to your grandkids. 

Some Final Words
It is not an easy time getting to your 60’s but you can always make it more exciting. Take in as much love as you can so that you can give back more to your loved ones. If you want to get the best protection through your 60’s, then you should get life insurance. This will come in handy in case you meet some problems along the way.
