Today I decided to listen to myself and stay in bed, relaxing, enjoying the fact that I am able to do nothing. It’s Saturday, I worked hard all week, I deserve it! I realized how much I worry all the time, to the point where I don’t listen to my body and soul and keep going with my busy life doing what I’m supposed to do instead of doing what I really want to do.
I worry about my business, I worry that my clients won’t like my projects. I worry about my kids, when my daughter is late, I worry that something could happen, something bad. I worry about me, about getting old(this has to be a huge article by itself), getting old is not a nice feeling. I look at myself in some pictures that were taken ten years ago, and I say to myself, oh my goodness I am getting older, my face doesn’t look the same, my body starts loosing its smoothness, I am walking like a robot this days.
I turned fifty last October and this subject is not new for me: I started worrying about getting old when I was in my thirties, I wanted to stay young, I didn’t like the idea of having wrinkles in my face or getting white hair, that was a terrifying idea, so I worried and made myself sad just thinking of the future and getting old. So I was trying my best to stay in shape and you know what, it works, although I am fifty but people don’t guess my age , they give me forty at most.
Some solutions that I applied
I want to share my experience with you, and when I say (you) I mean all people that worry about getting old and would rather to stay young.
My technique was simple, eat healthy food, play sports, massage the skin with moisturizing creams and get some vitamins to boost my system from time to time. (I am going to talk about all those elements one by one another day).
One thing that I have to accept and to understand is that, no matter what I do, I am going to be old one day; when I finally accepted this fact(which was not a long time ago), my worries were less intense and my ability to enjoy life became better.
So yes, it’s Saturday, I am in bed, I am listening to my favorite music, I don’t have to worry about anything, life is great! I am appreciating this simple fact that we usually forget: life is beautiful and I am happy!

“Mirrors don’t lie” you say to yourself. But they do lie; you see wrinkles around the eyes, age spots and sagging skin. You don’t recognize anyone of these. You were sure they weren’t there before. They make you look older than you feel. It’s not right- looking around most of the actresses around 40 are looking healthier and dating guys younger than them. Of course you don’t want their lifestyle only their skin.
