Ten year anniversaries of your birth date are always exciting and are a definite cause for celebration!
When you get one of those milestones, pause and look back at what you have gone through, how successful you have been and what you have enjoyed. Some people can be a little daunted by this milestone as they fear that they may not have been as successful as they should and still further, wonder where they will be in 10 years time.
It’s important to take time to look at where we are in our life, and to take stock of our financial, emotional and personal goals. It’s also quite common for a woman, busy raising a family, to think about her sexual appeal and its effectiveness when she gets to the big 40.
It’s very true to say that we all become more philosophical as we age. This is a consequence of being able to reflect on many of life’s rich experiences and in many cases knowing how to put these experiences into practice. Each decade milestone will find us in a very different place in our book of life and we will look back on our memories in a different way and look forward to what we have ahead of us with a fresh perspective. As such, considering whether you are sexy or not as a 40-something mum will undoubtedly unveil a whole list of different answers than it would if you were 30.
Those of us who have experienced and loved being a 40-year-old mum, know that our sexuality owes a lot to our maturity, from an emotional and mental perspective. Dignity comes naturally at this age and those elements of insecurity seem so far away.
Whenever problems arise, we rely on our sassy approach to dealing with these situations, breezing through such problems with apparent ease and feeling good about it while we do!
Often times, professional coaching is a marvellous boost for mums, whatever page of life they find themselves on and especially if they find an upcoming milestone to be challenging. The word “sexy” means different things to different people and will certainly have its own interpretation in your eyes.
Maturity teaches us to celebrate everything we have, and make the most of how we look, even though we will certainly be different today than we were back then. For example, do as the old screen sirens did – learn how you look better in certain lights and always present your best side to a camera! As each year goes by, you will become more mentally and emotionally secure and as a consequence, much sexier.
Be secure in your status and believe in yourself and what you have achieved. Look at your children and be rightly proud of the loving relationship you have with your partner. You have to love yourself before anyone else and this is at the essence of making life enjoyable. In most cases, online life coaching experts can be consulted whenever you are feeling a little down about those upcoming big milestones, so important to everyone else!
You have to believe, think and above all act young and I often, when coaching for women, remind them that their life begins at 40. If you did not know, how old would you say you were, right now? Hopefully the answer to this question isn’t “90″! Now, go strut your stuff, fabulous 40 mum!
