Finding Self-Compassion
So many of us think, If I can just accomplish [insert any goal here], then I will be happy and love myself. In reality, this is a lie. True happiness and self-love starts with self-compassion, leaving the backpack of not-enoughness in the dust.
Thankfully, self-compassion is a skill that can be learned and practiced. It will help us reduce body shame and improve our appreciation for our bodies and the stages of life we are in.
Be a Warrior, Not a Worrier
It may be easier said than done without the right tools and practice, but worrying really doesn’t serve us. It doesn’t bring solutions. It’s like praying about what you don’t want. Manifesting in the negative instead of moving into the positive.
Instead of worrying and fretting over the small things, whether that’s our age or a hard day at work, we should shift our focus onto our strengths.
Embrace All of Our Emotions
Finally, it’s important to remember that we should embrace all of our emotions. Our emotions have a message for us. They give us information about our lives and where we’re at. By embracing the ebbs and flows, we allow ourselves to be open. In turn, we will be able to actually feel more highs and appreciate them when they come.
As women reach their forties and mid-life, there are so many things going on mentally and physiologically. Learning to embrace the changes and the emotions will allow us to embrace the experience, bringing us more joy in the journey ahead.
