THE SECRET TO GROWING OLD GRACEFULLY? MAKING TIME FOR FUN, SAYS KATE…

“I love the idea of doing stupid things with your partner, or your kids, so that you giggle your butts off together. It’s a really good idea to make time for fun. I’m not talking about a massage because you need it because you’re stressed (it’s just another thing to put in your diary) but really stupid stuff. Something ridiculous that serves you no advantage whatsoever.

“Breaking a responsibl­e midlife mindset is a critical part of getting our heads right. I think you have to create time and space for yourself in midlife. It’s important to have moments when you slow down.”
