Being 35 and over is something that most women (and men too) dread, it's quite normal!

 

Why be terrified of aging and thinking that the best years of your life are behind us? Is the crisis of the thirties or forties pointing the tip of the nose?

I think it's quite the opposite.

In fact, looking back, these would definitely be the best times of your life…and life is long!

If you are not convinced that this is a great time and you have to read on to be convinced, here are 7 good reasons that could make you change your mind.

• You finally have confidence in yourself after 35 years

  

The best thing that can happen to you at 35: feeling like your self-confidence has skyrocketed.

You feel 10 times more, no… 100 times more sure of yourself than when you were 20 or 30.

Because like many of us, you were certainly very shy and this lack of confidence may have ruined your life and prevented you from realizing the projects and dreams that abounded in you.

But now your confidence allows you to move mountains. And it's funny because many people feel the same way, and certainly you too...

So, it's absolutely fantastic to be 35 for a man or for a woman, isn't it?

• Being 35: you finally don't care what people think of you

When you were younger, you were always wondering what colleagues, friends, the tennis teacher, the baker...

And this fear (sometimes visceral and insurmountable) governs all your decisions and gags your inner self.

As a result, you were doing things you didn't really want to do just for fear of being judged.

Now you do what you have to do and what you want to do, without worrying about the opinion of others. Make up, make yourself beautiful, meet friends, go out in your pajamas to get croissants 😉 …

Why ?

Because it doesn't matter anymore.

Finally, it was time, don't you think?

Finally, the only opinion that really matters, you guess? It's yours…

• In search of happiness

You have come a long way all these years, and over the years, you must have encountered challenges, challenges, joys, sorrows, good and bad news... Life will have been difficult sometimes, other times softer.

But, in retrospect, the moments that remain in memory are the most beautiful and the happiest.

Feel how grateful you are for all the positive things, the events that made you vibrate: your children, your spouse, your family, a job that you like, the fact of being in good health, the beautiful trips you have done, the radiant nature around you, the projects you are about to undertake (and no one will stop you this time!)…

Sitting down and thinking about all these positive things has a strong impact on your attitude. It's like recharging your batteries, you become optimistic and you have the fishing!

• At 35 and over, you know yourself better than ever

At 35, you know yourself pretty well.

With experience, you know what suits you, makes you happy in life. You also know how to identify what is in your interest and more importantly what does not suit you or what you absolutely do not want to relive such as romantic setbacks, difficult financial situations, boring and time-consuming relationships with so-called friends….

The more you think about it, the more you say to yourself: “What a waste of time on things that I chose to do by constraint and without pleasure and which certainly did not bring me or very little”.

But, fortunately, everything is different and you are sure to make the right choices in many areas of your new life.

• What 35-year-old women want is a new...

A new me, a new body, new aspirations, new perspectives...

The past obviously remains and it has contributed a lot to who we are now.

Our perception of what quarantine is (and of other 50s, 60s, etc.) has fortunately changed in recent years and women lead their lives in very different ways unlike their mothers or grandmothers at the same age. . Yes, really there is no photo!

We refuse to be locked into the straightjacket that society has defined for us based on our age.

We wear what we love and we don't look bland or faded!

On the contrary, we are full of punch, radiant, attractive...

At 35 and after, many women even begin to start their families. They can also decide not to have one, it's their choice!

Yes, the world has changed and customs too.

• With 35 years of experience, you have become an expert

Eventually, you have immense experience, learned a lot from your mistakes, and celebrated many victories.

You have matured and gained some wisdom. You are young enough to be fully active with great decades ahead of you.

You know what is good for your body. You eat better and choose the right foods to have more energy and vitality. Diet plays a vital role in staying dapper. Discover ten anti-aging foods to make the skin radiant and rejuvenate.

And you are still on the way...

Towards what?

Other experiences.

Because you know what you want, what you like, what you desire.

It is also true that you know what you don't like, or that you no longer want, what you need to change in your life to love it and appreciate it more...

You are at peace with your inner self because you know how to listen to it and secure it.

• Having a child after 35?

Many women aged 35 and over are waiting to take the plunge and realize their desire for a child.

Are you like those who wait for the “right moment”? That of being professionally accomplished, or that your lover has decided to become a father, or to think about being the "youngest child" before it's too late...

Besides, is there a “right time” to have a child?

In reality, before getting started, many couples grope about this good timing, swinging between reason and a stroke of madness.

To the extent that this reflection time is more or less long, the biological clock is ticking, especially for women.

Indeed, the fertility of a woman varies according to her age. It goes through a maximum between 20 and 30 years. Then it decreases slowly until age 35 and then suddenly.

Thus, the chances of conceiving a child at each cycle are 12% around age 35 and 6% at age 40. Few women can have a child spontaneously after 43 years.

You can decide to become a mother, as soon as you are ready, try the adventure!

But sometimes doubt may arise, especially if you have been trying to get pregnant for several months without success. Indeed, many questions can beset a couple who fails to conceive a child.

In this case, do not hesitate to consult a health professional or to try solutions that could work for you to remedy infertility to get pregnant naturally.

Enjoy, it's the beginning of the adventure!

Like you, I look back and contemplate all that I have accomplished while still considering all that is possible to achieve in the future.

What happiness, isn't it?

Life is an adventure !

So embrace the old adage that “life begins at 35”. Yes, in a way it is good news, but it depends on your attitude.

If you feel anxious about turning 35, I can assure you that it's painless, it's all in your head, so don't worry, everything will be fine 😉

For me, I love it!

I invite you to reflect on your new life.
