WOW is Me

It’s easy to get down about aging, especially as a woman. There is so much negative messaging about getting older and many of the celebrities of the moment convey serious fear over it. If we follow their lead, I think we are doomed.

Work on yourself. Be the best you can be, but accept yourself right here and now too. If you can do that, you win. I love being the age I am. I’ve come so far. I’ve gathered a lot of wisdom along the way – wisdom that makes me better than I was twenty years ago. I don’t focus on what I’ve lost. I focus on what I’ve gained. I’m no longer clueless, hallelujah. (Notice the stream of positive affirmations here! 😊)

Self-acceptance is gold. Here I am, and I am who I am. It’s the foundation of empowerment in that it allows us to inhabit ourselves fully. With self-acceptance, you and I are no longer our own worst enemies. We become our own best friends and can truly soar high above the anti-aging nonsense. 

Movement can be so valuable. Use movement to get into an invigorated feel good state of being. Use it to reinforce a positive outlook. Use it to connect to your own energy (which you are more in control over than you might realize). Use it to inhabit yourself fully. You can wallow in woe is me, or you can thrive is wow is me. I chose the latter – won’t you join me?
