Key points

• You're older now, and there are plenty of things you can no longer do safely. Get used to it, it's perfectly OK.

• Reframe that so-called loss as normal, and as a so-called gain in other areas; like maturity, work privileges or time-off.

• Quietly revel in your new-found superpowers like perspective, prior knowledge, and wisdom.

• Use other people's energy instead; you not only save yourself, you also give them work.
