Feelings of Being Past It – unspoken topic in your Third Act

Feelings of being ‘past it.’

‘The good years are gone now and I’m definitely looking the worst for wear.’

‘What is the use of picking myself up now?’

‘I am bulging out into too many places.

‘My face is bearing the tales of the years. There are some many wrinkles…It is no use anyway’.

‘Shure, for what! No-one has taken any notice of me lately’.

 

Any of these, have a familiar ring to them?

Yes, the years have progressed. If this type thinking is affecting your mood and behaviour, you owe it to yourself to do something about it. There is no point in compounding the misery. This is unnecessary suffering. It can be avoided. No-one will thank you for it. Quite the opposite: often this will alien people from you.

 

So, take a first step by promising yourself to stop filling you head with this negativity. Eliminate these thoughts replacing them with more like affirming thoughts; ones that are gentle on me, and definitely more uplifting. Start forming a new set of neural pathways – ones that support you; that are live affirming.

 

As you move into greater caring for yourself you might act by setting realistic goals for yourself in relation to your appearance and more importantly your mind set. It is all about you taking care of you.
