As I see it the journey towards being the best you can be at any age starts with the right mindset. Cultivate self acceptance and a love for yourself and your unique place in the scheme of things. Become more environmentally aware and engage more actively with the planet. That can mean political activism, or it can simply be that you start growing your own culinary herbs, or create a garden that is bee and butterfly friendly. Each stage of your life brings it's own beauty. Women over forty have a wealth of experience, relationships and knowledge; so tap into this to develop your inner strength. Love the life you have, live with gratitude and enjoy everything you do and mother nature will do the rest. Meditate regularly to develop inner awareness and make positive lifestyle choices about nutrition, physical fitness, and stress management in order to be the best you can be.
So, focus and commit to the process of achieving your optimum health and love the life that unfolds.
