Being 40 doesn’t feel especially old, you can do everything you did in your 20s and 30s, but now with more confidence. I’ve entered the stage of my life where you don’t need to be beautiful, simply by being well preserved and not obese, I would now pass for pretty. While there are certainly people who dread turning 40, there are others who welcome it, embrace it, and roll with it. Women feel more confident in their forties than at any other age -and over half believe they look younger than their age.
According to a recent research, 56 per cent women over the age of 40 not just feel wiser and confident but also happier than ever before. The women also claimed that they look younger than their actual age which doubles up their happiness quotient and gives a strong boost to their confidence.
Stress is never going to go completely away, even in your 40s. But at least you start to finally put those stresses in perspective. It may not seem like it now, but everything really is going to be okay just ask a 40-year-old. The midlife crisis is more of an exercise in good branding than an actual phenomenon.
Feeling fabulous at 40 is not difficult as long as you are ready to look beyond the numbers and look forward to adding more colours and experiences to your life than just years.
