Getting scared of the ageing process?  I don’t blame you with the Media bombardment of ‘Use this or do this and you will look younger than your years!   See how ‘so and so’ looks nowadays with their ’cankles’ (for goodness sake, this was Cheryl Cole amongst their list and what age is she?) – without being airbrushed, etc……………………….’

Making the best of You

What are we doing to buy into this stuff?  I’ll hold my hands up here – I don’t like looking in the mirror and seeing Looking Aheadall the wrinkles rapidly spreading and I can still say that I love that woman in the mirror.   Of course, it is important to do the best for ourselves by taking care of our diet, hair, make-up, exercising, and dressing as well as we can.  Why?  Because it is for ourselves to make the best of ourselves – that’s why.  No need to hide ourselves away at all even if we might be starting to feel invisible.

End?

I also want to say that middle age doesn’t spell the end either!!   It brings opportunity for gathering in, and enjoying the fruits of a life well spent or not!   Don’t sink into dowdiness or resignation at midlife – the new midlife is a call of the soul.  It’s our second chance.

 

Of course, there can be a certain unease at growing older, even if you can celebrate how young you still feel and look.    You see, life is a mystery and much of what happens is outside your understanding or control but how you choose to respond to life is up to you.

 

Roles

 

Most women can’t separate themselves from the roles they hold, or the views others too readily give them of themselves.    Also many women wake up one day with the realisation that, not only has the ageing process caught up with them, they’d forgotten who they were.  They’d got lost over the years with so many life changes – not just major ones like divorce, marriage, births, deaths, illness, careers, etc. but also the normal aging process.

 

% of Population

 

By the way, did you know that the largest % of population is now over 50?  This is a very important time in the world.    It’s time to ask yourself what’s make you come alive and then go and do it because our world needs people who are comfortable in their own skin right now.

 

Life

 

Nowadays, you’ve a great opportunity to be part of this great world change.  The feminine principle is coming to the fore.  It’s your time now.   It’s your time to encourage and explore your unique potential for yourself and, through that, each of you in your own unique way is giving something back to the world.  The lure of your potential has become too strong to deny any more.  To truly feel like a human being, no matter your age, is to feel appreciated, to feel your existence matters and the embodiment of your soul.  This is what life is all about.

 

You’ve got so little time on earth that the biggest risk is to spend it dissatisfied!   So remember

you can make any day whatever you want because it’s a brand new day.  You can think, feel and experience whatever you want.    You can let go of old habits and do something new by devoting it to what makes your heart sing.    Whatever it is, just do it!

 

This isn’t the second half of your life, or the third stage – it is the time for you to remember that life begins when you do!!
