My blogger colleague Mia Brummer calls for a blog parade! With the topic of which women over 50 are actually still good for . Provocative and great topic, I think! I am well over 50 and don't feel like 50. But who actually determines how women should feel at 50?
What is an age measured without being measured?

What are the characteristics of a 50-year-old woman? So then I'll get rid of it!

Retreats for women | Sicily, desert, femininity & joie de vivre

A girl's observations

As a young girl in the 1970s, I noticed the postures of women.
How they stand, go and behave.
In Sicily, my father's home, I remember women who, as soon as they were married,
neglected their beauty, increased, with shrill, high voices,
insulted their offspring and had a hanging attitude with hanging shoulders and falling stomach.
It looked like me that when you are married, you give up.

As young people or children see us, it is also predictive. The image of the 50+year old has changed quite a bit and has nothing to do with the picture that I had from older women at the time.

Different outer pictures of women

When I was in Rome much later in my life, or in theater events in Palermo, I saw so many good
-looking women, far beyond 50 who were just wow! How they dressed,
kept their attitude and seemed to cultivate life so finely. I liked her awareness
of beauty and care. Always dressing well is
naturally present in the genes of Italian people. That was the other side of pictures of women in Italy that I had.
Women, on the other hand, in Germany, I always perceived so that they
were in functional leisure clothes and took little care of a refined appearance and their style of clothing was simply pragmatic and is often still.

Who evaluates the age?

For the woman (and of course the man) comes the moment when she
has to say goodbye to a tight body. It is a phase in her life, where you no longer feel seen,
it is difficult to make it increasing, become more wrinkles and, in the worst case, she
begins to hate yourself.

From a perspective, she evaluates not to be attractive to the men's world.
Although relationships with much younger men are becoming increasingly common today.
Not every woman from 50 is automatically old! When I go shopping here in town, I see young women
who look quite old in all their attitude and attitude.

If we finally said goodbye to all the appearances and the youth,
a really exciting life cycle begins!

What an opportunity! What a new freedom!

What does age actually make?
Mental movement is as important as the physical movement!
Both in combination keep us young. Feel with young, I think being in life energy.
Our life experienced so far is a large part from which we benefit in our new phase of life.
As a rule, the children are out of the house and we have a lot more time for ourselves. A great chance of sorting and orienting us.

We can ask ourselves a new question:

- What else do we want to experience?
- What do we want to learn new or expand something more?
- What is important to me?
- What routine do I invite you to my daily life?
- What do I definitely sort out in my life?
- Where do I turn every day?
- Who do I want to spend my valuable time with?

Valuable time! This is very strong in my consciousness.
As far as it is possible for me, I live after experiencing a valuable day every day and celebrating everything

that I succeeded well and increasingly laughing more about what I have not succeeded. The mild and nice thoughts towards me become stronger. This is such a liberation! No longer
to have to, to hunt, conquer, to fight, to survive, achieve, etc.

Life feels more freely, because ever!

I love this age because after so many experiences and losses and living conditions and experiences, I
can now see everything much more relaxed.

It is becoming increasingly less important to me what others could think about me.
I have increasingly recaptured my trust in myself and my "guided path".

I'm full. Fully present and completely curious about what else wants to come.

I gave up my ideas about how something has to be to
be surprised by impulses of life.

In any case, I decided to be happy.

Life is just beautiful!

This question of whether you still have any value as a 50-year-old seems to me after I mean
Large treasury of knowledge, experiences and wisdom, actually quite absurd!
The word "actually" only because I know that many young people think that.

Women who have deliberately overcome their midl crisis and have opened up on new possibilities
are a very important link in our society! Because with their courage to live,
their joie de vivre, their serenity and their fire, they show how much creative, clever ideas
can ignite and what they can get moving.

This is important for all people. To see that you also have a properly filled out in the second part of the life
Can enjoy life that does not lose value by any number that suddenly stands.

Unfortunately, some women get stuck in the feeling of worthlessness. You suddenly feel
alone and no longer used. I encourage women to appreciate themselves in my work and to give themselves the care that they otherwise gave others. It will be time to experience it and other roles can be.
Out of: I do something, I do what ... So I am worth it.
And that's exactly what we can finally let go! We are not only valuable if we
do a job contribution or an educational contribution.No! We are so much more contribution in this world when we
Take the time for self -reflection and lead a friendly -minded life, which connections
Creates and stops evaluating and splitting.

The best does not even come at the end!

How many times do I see young women who can either go, or are caught in maker mode,
have leisure stress and are subject to the madness of optimization (which people at any age have
if they are infected).

How well I know that!
My life also looked that way until March 2020. I was driven and with my independence
as a theater maker and organizer much, far too much overwhelmed.
Today I do my tasks with comfortable care and awareness. I no
longer judge myself if something doesn't work right away. I no longer adhere to my ideas about how something has to be.
Stay curious and adventurous!

And yes! At the age of 58 I dance, lying on the ground on the ground in the desert, riding camels,
wearing red lipstick, I am there in ice swimming
(I have been making ice water applications since then), feel attractive, have fun in life

I trust me and life so much more that I look forward to everything that comes to me.
In me, my lack of basic trust has established itself and I feel that nothing can happen in life
what is against me. The trust that everything has its meaning and takes time has
shown me my life so far. When I was over 50, I can look back on a path that shows me that some things
turn out differently than you really want, and that it is good as it is.
