40-year-old women should get rid of some bad habits. I'll tell you why.
All women want to be well, in their heads and in their bodies. But there comes an age, usually from the age of 40 and over, when you have to put an end to the bad habits that have taken hold over the years. Yes, no one is perfect!
Why get rid of it?
Whether you are a man or a woman of 40, these bad habits or reflexes impact your skin and your health in general.
Whether you like it or not, these habits are bad for you – mentally, physically, emotionally, and even socially in some cases. They can ruin your life and have a definite impact on your life. They act like "kryptonite" on your well-being and your behavior.
From the age of 40, certain ingrained bad habits are more difficult to abandon than others. But that doesn't change the fact that you should at least try.
Here are the 12 most common bad habits and how they affect your mind and body. The good news is that you can ditch them all.
- Comparing yourself to other 40-year-old women
When you compare yourself to others, you scratch your self-esteem. By engaging in the comparison game, you end up feeling envious and your self-confidence plummets. Comparing themselves to others is also not very effective, as a person can behave enviably in public while masking what they are really feeling or going through in life.
Show your true nature, your inner beauty. If people don't appreciate who you really are deep down, too bad for them.
Be open to those who love you. Let them into your life.
- Being a spendthrift
It's very good to have the latest fashionable accessories and the most beautiful car. The goal is to spend less in order to think about the future.
Because is it really necessary to spend lavishly?
It's not about becoming an ant and saving at all costs. But rather to stop being a cicada, to empty your wallet without counting to finally find yourself overwhelmed by debts.
At some point, you have to ask yourself questions about the possible consequences if you keep spending lavishly.
Try to imagine what your financial situation will be like later.
The fact is, the sooner you start saving, and even investing, the more you'll see the rewards on your money accrue. These lifestyle choices could become very useful extra income in a few years.
- Lack of sleep after 40
You thought you could sleep anytime or stay awake all the time for a long time. But this is not true. Your body sooner or later reminds you that sleep is precious and that your body needs it to function normally.
To remedy this, start by respecting your body. Set up a routine to fall asleep and wake up at regular times. It can do you good. This will help you stay fresh throughout the day and establish good sleep habits for the future.
- Try to please everyone
Once you reach the age of 40 (and even before!), it's time to stop trying to please everyone around you, especially when it comes to close friends and of family members.
Invest your time and energy wisely and be selective when choosing to help others. Above all, don't feel guilty when it comes to taking care of yourself and your own needs.
- Never take time for yourself
Daily life can become heavy: work, children, family and friends, social networks, etc.). Once in a while, give yourself a little break and retreat somewhere to take stock.
Spending time with yourself can be very beneficial in refocusing yourself. Only quiet time will allow you to collect your thoughts and reflect on your life in general. Guided meditation can help you with this.
If you don't like being alone, it may be difficult for you to be truly happy with other people.
- Neglecting regular physical activity
We all know that staying fit will help you get the most out of life. But did you know that from the age of 35 , especially for women, you begin to lose muscle mass.
Regular physical exercise becomes all the more important. So, if you want to maintain a toned, lean and healthy body, maintain it.
- Putting off achieving your life dreams
Now is the time to pursue your life dreams. Don't wait another minute because time is running out. You might want to start a family (link to article "Isn't it too late to have a baby?"), travel the world or write a book. Whatever your ambition, be sure to take the first steps towards realizing it now.
- Neglecting your dental hygiene
Take care of your teeth because you won't have new ones, unlike some species of animals such as sharks, which are lucky enough to see their permanent teeth grow back several times.
Make sure you take care of your teeth regularly and practice impeccable daily dental hygiene. Keeping your teeth for a long time is essential because smiling brightens up facial features and allows you to eat a variety of foods that are beneficial to your health.
- Continue to tan after 40
If you want to have beautiful supple skin for a long time and limit the appearance of wrinkles, then stop exposing yourself too much to the sun. Regular tanning can cause major health problems such as the development of melanomas which are skin cancers.
- Manage all stressful events
Keeping a journal can help you put your stressful thoughts and feelings on paper. The purpose of writing them is to take a step back from these events and face them more calmly. More than that, a journal can be a great reminder of the good times and hardships you've experienced throughout your life.
- Reprimanding you for your mistakes
Start learning to forgive yourself for your mistakes. Try not to dwell on your mistakes and instead look at what good things you have already accomplished and see in the future how you can steer things in the direction you want to go.
- Continue to smoke
If you smoke, you really should quit. There is no need to remind you of the harmful effects of tobacco and there is no positive point in smoking tobacco or anything else for that matter. Scientific research shows that if you stop smoking before you reach the age of 40, you have a 90% lower mortality rate than those who continue to smoke.
In a future article, I will tell you how to program your mind to get rid of bad habits. I'm sure you'll find your life much healthier and happier then!
