Sometimes a fresh swipe of lipstick can swizzle your mood.
If I can look in the mirror without judgment I’m going to have a better day.
The key is to have the self-confidence to stand tall and shout:
“This is who I am, take me or leave.”
We don’t need critical people in our lives. We don’t need to have other people judge us.
Tony Robbins is quoted to the effect:
“If you judge another person you lose the power to influence them.”
If you judge yourself you give others permission to not like you either.
As a 52-year old woman I strive to be gracious towards others. I act as best I can without judging anyone else for I can’t see inside their heads.
Mid life is the best time to meet new people, do new things, and adopt new beliefs about what’s possible.
To do this we have to let go of the past and re-frame our perception of who we are and who we can become.
Self-neglect is the foolproof way to age yourself faster than the expiration date on a carton of milk.
Liking yourself is the key to changing your life for the better.
I think the key to success at 40 and beyond is to have a restlessness; a desire to “see the world” with a fresh outlook.
Success at mid life involves not getting stuck. It requires weekly exercise of the body and mind and spirit.
The way I see it: to always be moving forward is the goal.
To not remain stuck we must move our bodies and move our minds out of their comfort zones.
That is the secret to aging well.
Making room for others in our hearts and making peace with our imperfections.
This is all part of remaining youthful regardless of our chronological age.
