The older, the cooler: 12 people who proved that life after 50 is for happiness

Every woman passes a certain age milestone. But what to do when it's a two-digit number - 50?

The 50-year mark is a critical period for many representatives of the fairer sex. They observe and feel the changes that occur in the body and appearance. Most women who have crossed the half-century mark are wary of their age and look longingly to the future. The weight of unrealized hopes weighs on your shoulders, and the mirror mercilessly reflects the wrinkles on your face. Many people begin to analyze their lives, trying to understand what they have achieved in life and where they once made mistakes.

However, psychologists assure that after 50 years a woman enters a happy time in her life. The main thing is to reconsider your views and abandon outdated stereotypes.

A woman over 50 wants nothing: the reason

By the age of 50, most people have already created a family, a career has been built, and the children have grown up and left the nest. And now the woman has a question: “What’s next?”
The attributes of well-being - children, husband, wealth, work - no longer bring satisfaction as before. The woman begins to feel causeless anxiety, but cannot understand what is happening to her.
Some women after 50 years are overcome by depression, they become indifferent to everything and want nothing. The desire to set any goals in life disappears. After all, to implement them you need to make efforts. But there is no strength for this. Why is that?
The reason for this condition is that a woman simply wants to be needed and in demand. She begins to realize that she still has a lot of unspent energy, but there is nowhere to put it.

Wants to be needed

Previously, a woman experienced emotional uplift during the period of falling in love, motherhood, and professional growth. But over the years, such feelings disappeared. And those to whom she previously devoted her strength (family, career) no longer need her attention.
Therefore, the woman no longer sees any prospects for herself. She feels inner devastation and emotional decline. But any person needs vivid feelings and emotions for a normal life.
A feeling of being in demand is what a woman needs after 50 years.

Building a strategy

We often get stuck in crisis situations because we cannot see the future. Now everything is bad, work is not happy, the man I love has not yet met and there is no one to give birth to a child from. Or, on the contrary, a crisis in marriage and fatigue from everyday problems make it difficult to believe that life can be joyful.

What to do? Grow up and clearly define your area of responsibility. The position of an adult differs from that of a child in that you set realistic goals, without expecting that “a wizard will suddenly arrive.” To do this, you need to outline your life goals, what you want to achieve, what result you will achieve, for example, in a year, two, three. The more clearly and clearly you define your goals, the easier it will be for you to build a ladder to achieve them. Avoid traps like: “When I marry an oligarch” or “When I become a famous model/presenter/singer.” Leave these dreams to eighteen year old girls and do what you can.

How can a woman live after 50?

Almost every woman over 50 has great potential. However, the lack of positive emotions and routine deprive her of the incentive to change something in her life. She can't figure out where to direct her energy now.

According to psychologists, in order to get out of this crisis, a woman needs to reformulate her life priorities:

From now on, direct your energy not to receiving, but to investing . By creating something, putting your strength into it, you will be busy. The truth of life is that when we give, we receive much more (attention, warmth, tenderness).
Fill your life with the people, events and emotions you need. Of course, it can be difficult to give up your usual lifestyle and break the usual pattern. But if you want to overcome the crisis and live prosperously, this must be done.
Live with meaning. Appreciate every moment and don’t waste time on fuss.

What to do?
Any age can become either a source of harmony and well-being, or a source of problems.
It depends only on you and on what internal baggage you approach the next stage of life with. It's never too late to be happy.

HOW TO PRESERVE YOUR INNER YOUTH

The appearance of 50-year-old people is significantly different. Some look very young, while others, on the contrary, are much older than their years. Over time, this gap becomes more noticeable.

Psychologists note that it is quite difficult to determine the chronological boundaries of old age and old age. It is customary to distinguish between psychological, social and biological “withering”, with the first factor playing a leading role. As soon as a person begins to come to terms with his advanced age, his intellectual activity begins to decline. And vice versa, if people, despite the years, continue to learn something new and lead an active lifestyle, they feel young and they don’t care what numbers are written in their passport.

How to be a happy woman after 50: tips

Midlife is a wonderful time. At 50 years old, a woman has wisdom and understands what is truly important and necessary in life. She no longer wastes herself on trifles, and looks at many things differently.

Listen to the advice of happy women over 50:

Make yourself the top priority This is a must if you want to live a happy life. Don't think that doing so is selfish and wrong. By giving yourself enough time, you can lead a more fruitful and productive life.
Loving yourself is a sign of healthy self-esteem, not arrogance. A prosperous woman who loves herself always has more energy to help other people than one who denies herself much.
Get rid of toxic relationships. Stop communicating with people who constantly complain, gossip and radiate only negativity. You shouldn't waste time on them. Surround yourself with those who like you and share your views.
Accept your body. Stop criticizing your own appearance: you’ve gained weight, you’ve aged, your dress doesn’t fit well, etc. Don’t doubt that you are a beauty. And stop being upset about wrinkles! Everyone has them. And if you do not learn to humbly accept the natural changes of age, you will continue to suffer from every new wrinkle or extra kilogram. The main thing is to look well-groomed.

be happy

Learn to be grateful for everything you have in life. Make a list of what you are grateful for. Let it include even such little things as a cup of coffee in the morning or a flower blooming on the windowsill. Say “thank you” to the world every morning.
Be a wise mentor to the younger generation. Pass on valuable experience to your children, grandchildren, and new colleagues.
Spend more money on your own pleasures. You deserve it.
Let go of past grievances. Don't hold a grudge against those who once hurt you. Forgive yourself if you feel guilty. Past mistakes cannot be corrected, and people cannot be changed. Therefore, give up negative thoughts and pay attention only to the good.
Make your brain work regularly. To avoid senile dementia, do not be lazy in learning something new. Try to process and remember different information. Even in those things where you have experience, you can always learn new things. When we learn, we delay the aging process. Always engage in self-development. The basis of high self-esteem is to be interesting in any society.

Even after 50

Be sure to play sports. Moderate physical activity after 50 years is necessary in order to be healthy and stay alert longer.
Be responsible for your life. Stop blaming other people or circumstances for your own failures. This will only create resentment and disappointment in your soul. Tell yourself: “I choose how to live.”
Spend more time in nature. This is a great way to relieve stress and put your thoughts in order. Your life is guaranteed to become happier if you walk in the forest or by the lake for at least half an hour a day.
Fill your heart with vivid impressions and emotions. Find new sources of joy. Don't be afraid to make changes in your life and appearance. Try everything new.
Become a person with whom it is easy and interesting to communicate. When talking, listen more than talk. This way you can learn a lot of interesting things about people and life in general.
Laugh more , enjoy every day that comes. Believe in your luck. This is the key to a happy life.
Make plans for your life. There is still so much to see and try!

Life after 50
H
The man is fifty years old, all seven planetary phases of life have ended.
What's next? From the point of view of astrology, right now a full life begins:
formation is over, a person has developed all the inclinations with which he came into this world. He learned to live among people, understand them and find a common language with them - the properties of the Moon. He has a specialty that he is good at, and he can learn something new, if necessary - the abilities of Mercury. He is capable of loving and deserves to be loved - Venus. He is capable and self-controlled, knows how to be brave and decisive at the right moment - Mars. Knows what he wants; can remain faithful to himself and his principles, is confident in himself - the Sun. Knows how to set reasonable goals and achieve them - Jupiter. Has developed stability in the world of life, has a strong sense of reality, can distinguish gold from gilding - Saturn. All this gives him the opportunity to live an interesting, meaningful and fruitful life; he is useful both to himself and to those around him.
If the solar core - the individuality of a person - has been formed by the age of fifty, such a person will not ask what to do. He always has a business that interests him, to which he devotes himself. He can easily find himself an exciting and fruitful activity, he is not bored with himself alone. Next to him are people who are near and dear to him. He is alone only when he himself wants to be alone: people are attracted to those who have a developed inner Sun - everyone enjoys being close to a source of warmth and light. In general, life is interesting for him, he loves life, loves people, loves himself. A developed sunny person usually has good health, because he takes care of it himself, without placing all responsibility for his life and health on doctors. In addition, the developed inner Sun is a powerful source of vitality. Such people age only in body, not in soul, and they age much more slowly. Their brains hardly age at all.
If the solar core has not had time to develop, but continues to develop, it is somewhat more difficult for a person. He does not have complete confidence in himself and in the correctness of his lifestyle. But he continues to search - the developing inner Sun encourages him to do this. He is also interested in living, although it is somewhat more difficult than the already frolicking individual. But a little later he will come to a state of internal harmony.
The third way is for those whose development has stopped in the early stages. These are people with personal lives, they are busy with everyday affairs, with themselves, with their loved ones. Creative activity is replaced by entertainment and pleasant relaxation. It all depends on how much they have learned to love. If they have learned, their life will be painted in bright colors of relationships with people close to them. It will be filled with worries about your loved ones, the joys and sorrows of human relationships. Their life after fifty does not decline. The love of loved ones will be the answer to their love and they will not be alone. Of course, they depend more on external circumstances than the developed solar type of people.
What happens to those who have not developed the ability to love? Or with those who dedicated their lives to their careers?
And why do we not live as astrology describes? Why is the age of fifty considered to be the beginning of the end in our society? Why does life decline after fifty, when, according to the astrologer, it should be on the rise? And what to do to change this?
We will answer all these questions in the following articles and tell you how to correlate your life with the laws of the Cosmos.
Life after 50 is not the end, but a new beginning!
Last time we wrote that the age of 50 is considered the beginning of decline only in European culture, which is strongly influenced by Mars. There is no reality behind this idea. From an astrological point of view, 50 years is the beginning of the most fulfilling and fruitful life. Of course, mechanical cultures, in which external activity is most valued, love youth and physical strength most of all.
But in more contemplative cultures, where the inner life is as important as the outer life, 50 is the age of maturity. Even in our culture, say, in science, the most fruitful age for physicists is up to 40 years old. And maximum success comes to them at 30-35, and after 40, creative potential drops sharply. And in the sciences that study not dead matter, but man - in history, psychology, cultural studies - the creative peak begins when it ends for physicists, and success comes after 50. Understanding human life requires experience and abilities that develop later. We wrote about this before, in articles about the 7 phases of life.
This means that in order to live your whole life fully and fruitfully, you need to build it in accordance with the cosmic order. The first part of life can be devoted to the search for social success, social sustainability. And then you need to change your goals and interests: gradually move from external activity to internal activity, to knowing yourself and the inner world of a person in general, to developing and realizing your creative abilities, to philosophy, to knowing God...
It is best to start looking for new goals at 35-37 years old, at the beginning of the Jupiter phase. But it’s not too late to do this at any age. For creative people with a sunny life line, the transition from external values to internal ones is a natural process; they live in the inner world more than in the outer world.
It is more difficult for people of the lunar line, who live an ordinary life, “like everyone else.” They are very susceptible to the influence of social myths and general ideas. Therefore, they need to make an effort and throw away all the old ideas that after fifty comes the end of life. Once they realize that this is not the end, but a new beginning, they will discover a wealth of possibilities.
It’s hardest for those who followed the path of Saturn. This is the path of people who have spent their whole lives striving to achieve success in society, making a career, earning more and more money, climbing higher and higher on the social ladder. Crystallization occurs in the Saturn phase. The first crystallization took place from 5 to 17 years, when the main character traits hardened, and after 40 years, habits and lifestyle harden. A person no longer changes; it is almost impossible for him to accept and master something fundamentally new. Circumstances will change and he will be very uncomfortable in unusual circumstances. By the age of 55-60, the world around him begins to irritate him: everything around him is not the same, especially young people - impudent, disrespectful, have no respect for the merits of their elders... And in general, before it was much better, there was order, but now... For This hides envy and longing for lost youth. A person continues to live, but the content of life is gone, only forms remain and he feels emptiness. His career is coming to an end, but he cannot part with it because he has nothing else. The only opportunity for such people is to find a new meaning in life in their family, children and grandchildren. This will enable them to live a meaningful life.
In any case, we can improve our lives. To do this, you need to harmonize it with the Cosmos
We will tell you how to do this in the following articles.
European culture
and life after 50
In the last issue we asked the question: why is the age of fifty considered in our society the beginning of the end?
It must be said that this was not always the case in history. In ancient cultures, and even now in Eastern cultures, the attitude towards old age is completely different. In such cultures, the age after fifty, and especially after sixty, is the best period of life. An older person enjoys honor and respect. He has a stable social position as his children and grandchildren take care of him. The opinions of elders are carefully listened to; young people remain silent in the presence of elders and wait for permission to say something. And the elders have something to do - older people form the organizing core of such a society, ensuring stability and continuity of tradition.
Why is this not the case in our culture? Every culture is influenced by one or more planets. European culture grew out of medieval chivalry and urban burghers. These two classes, which have become the basis of modern culture, are under the influence of Mars. Knights are warriors, here the influence of Mars is obvious. But the burghers - artisans and merchants - are also to a large extent “Martians”. Most of the crafts, where work with hands is required, the ability to wield a tool, working with metal, wood, and fire - all these are Mars occupations. And the enterprise of a merchant, trader, willingness to take risks, sometimes very big risks for the sake of profit - this is also a quality of Mars. In general, individual entrepreneurship is a Martian activity. Of course, capital is Jupiter, and Jupiter’s influence in the modern world is very strong and intensifying. But the basis is still the thinking and character of Mars. And Mars is a fighter, he needs to win: in war, in sports, in business, in friendly games and entertainment - he needs to win everywhere, to be the first, the best. In male interaction on equal terms - friendship, cooperation - there is almost always a taste of benevolent competition.
In addition, Mars is an external planet, its orbit is further from the Sun than the Earth’s orbit, and it is aimed at external success, at a result visible to everyone. He loves technology, mechanisms, weapons. The inner world of a person is a mystery to him, he doesn’t even think about it. And in the Martian culture, the external result is valued first of all; the objective mind works there, turned to the external side of life, to forms. Of course, culture cannot do without the humanitarian sphere, but it is valued less, it comes in second place: “Something physicists are held in high esteem, something lyricists are in the fold...”. And this is Mercury, not Saturn and not Uranus.
Naturally, beauty is valued first of all; external beauty is the beauty of the body, not the soul. Mercury, Mars, Venus are the planets of youth and modern culture, this is the culture of the young. And lately it has been shifting more and more - in fashion, style of speech, values - towards adolescence.
But this does not mean that we should follow this style of thinking. All this is temporary, American teenage culture is being replaced by another (about it in the following articles), in which the ratio of ages and age values will be more harmonious.
After all, the meaning of a person’s life is not at all to succeed, to get ahead of everyone else. We see this from history. And in the past there were purely Martian cultures: aggressive Assyria - the first world empire, Sparta, in which the cult of the warrior reigned. But they didn’t even have a cultural heritage left, and the memory of them was preserved by other cultures - their neighbors, who developed on a more humane basis.
We will continue about life after 50...

What should a woman not do after 50?

Maturity is not a death sentence. This is a period of awareness of your goals and actions. And the experience gained earlier allows you to avoid mistakes in the future.

Mature

Psychologists have compiled a list of what a woman should not do after 50 years of age:

Postponing something “for later.” It's no secret that in youth people are wasteful with time, because there are still so many years ahead. However, as an adult, you must understand that you can no longer put your life on hold. So if you want something, don't wait for the right time. Do it now!
Do not give up on your desires , even if they seem difficult to achieve, and your past experience was unsuccessful. Take action. Believe in yourself. Create the life you've always dreamed of.
Save on yourself. Try to please yourself as often as possible. Give yourself gifts in the form of new clothes, beauty treatments, trips to the theater or interesting trips.
Go on extreme diets. Avoid mono-diets and fasting. In adulthood, they can harm your health. A woman over 50 just needs to stick to a balanced diet.
Worry about what others will think. For too long you have lived with an eye on other people's opinions. Enough! You are a grown woman. And only you can decide how to look and what to do. Don't think about what they will say about you. Live the way you want.
Sacrifice yourself for children and grandchildren. Having raised your offspring, you have every right to live for your own pleasure. No one is talking about not helping their loved ones at all. If you want to help, help. However, do not forget about your own interests.

Don't be a victim

Be afraid to admit your mistakes. Many women believe that since they have reached a certain age, they are a priori wiser and smarter than those who are younger. However, it is never too late to learn, no matter how old you are. And there is absolutely no shame in admitting that you are wrong.
Justify your own laziness by lack of funds. Of course, there is always a shortage of money. Especially if you live only on your pension. However, many joys in life are absolutely free - a walk in the park, hanging out with friends, reading books.
Criticize others, even in thoughts. What you feel for other people is projected into your life. So give up this useless activity.

Experience of the past

A characteristic feature of the crisis period of 30 years is the devaluation of previous experience. If before this you were busy with wedding worries, creating a family home and raising children, then, having stepped on the shaky ground of depression, you will begin to reproach yourself for not being successful in the professional sphere. If everything is fine with your career, then the consciousness, at this moment aimed at the negative, will notice that all the normal men have already been dismantled and only losers are left around. Self-criticism can reach the point that, looking back, you will not see anything that deserves praise. And then even a bucket of ice cream will not sweeten the pill of disappointment.

What to do? To stop devaluing your life, remind yourself that it was your previous experiences that made you who you are today. Words are not enough for this, so I suggest you do some self-analysis, armed with a pen and notepad. Write down what you think you did that was helpful for your future in previous stages of your life. Have you learned English? Did you go for an internship abroad? Graduated from graduate school? Did you exercise regularly? Did you give birth to a daughter? It's time to start counting resources. Don't criticize yourself for what you haven't done, focus on what you've achieved. Now re-read what you wrote and thank yourself, God, life, the Universe for the experience you gained.

How to keep a woman healthy after 50: recommendations

Maturity is a wonderful period in a woman’s life. The children have grown up, and now there is an opportunity to live for themselves. There can be a lot of plans. The main thing is not to let your health fail. It’s no secret that after 50 years, many chronic diseases make themselves felt. And my strength is no longer what it was in my youth.

A woman after 50 years old needs to reconsider her previous habits and daily routine: strengthen her immune system, monitor her weight, and undergo regular medical examinations.

To stay energetic and healthy longer, listen to the recommendations of experts:

Walk a lot. Regular walks have a beneficial effect on the condition of blood vessels and heart function. The main rule is to walk for at least 40 minutes every day. The step should be fast, but do not become short of breath. Take your walks in nature whenever possible.
Stop smoking and alcohol. These habits are harmful at any age. However, after 50, they also intensify the symptoms of menopause - headaches, high blood pressure, hot flashes.
Take time to relax. In adulthood, you can’t work too hard. Also, sleep at least 7 hours a night. At the same time, try to go to bed no later than 22 hours. According to research, the hormone of youth, melatonin, is intensively produced from ten pm to midnight.
After age 50, bones become more fragile and porous due to hormonal changes that are inevitable with age. Therefore, take special vitamin complexes containing calcium and vitamin D.
Do strength training regularly. Strong muscles support the bone frame and reduce stress on the joints.

Sport

Review your diet. Healthy eating is the basis of beauty and activity. It is known that over the years a person's metabolism slows down. Therefore, food should be less caloric. Also, reduce your consumption of red meat as it speeds up the aging process of the body. Eat more fruits and vegetables. And also consume fish, seafood, flaxseed and sesame oil, almonds, cottage cheese, legumes, and soy as often as possible.

Be sure to use sunscreen to slow down photoaging. Even in winter.
Don't give up on sex. Of course, after 50 years, the sexual functions of both women and men decline somewhat. However, intimate life also exists in adulthood. Especially if the couple is bound by love and trust.
Don't focus on your illnesses. As we get older, everyone has them. Treat them and enjoy the health you were able to maintain. It is also important not to forget about vitamins. You can find out which vitamins are useful for a woman after 50 years here.

Aging of the body is a natural process. You need to calmly accept this fact and take care of your health. After all, how you feel will determine what your next years will be like.

WHY ARE WE AFRAID OF AGING

A person approaching retirement age experiences the same feelings as a small child who played out with his friends and now does not want to go home with his parents. Even after 50, people understand perfectly well that their figure has changed and gray hair and wrinkles have already appeared, but they are still full of strength and energy, so it is not at all surprising that they are not ready to consider themselves old.

Not only are they afraid of the size of their future income, which sometimes barely reaches the subsistence level, but they are also afraid of the fact that the rhythm of life will now radically change. According to many, after retirement a person becomes limited in communication and has a lot of free time, which he does not know what to do with.

A negative attitude towards “well-deserved rest” is also formed by memories from childhood. Most of us have seen our grandparents running to work and being cheerful and cheerful, but as soon as they retired, health problems immediately appeared.

How a woman should look after 50: stylist's recommendations

Some women over 50 years old believe that at this age they should look modest so as not to attract undue attention to their, alas, not youthful appearance. However, such views are long outdated. It is very possible to look beautiful and stylish at 50 years old.

The main thing is to choose the right clothes and accessories. You must be, above all, elegant. There is no need to look younger with bright makeup or provocative clothing.

To make your image perfect, follow these rules when creating it:

It is better to choose monochromatic, muted tones. Motley and bright colors are more suitable for young girls.
As you age, there should be fewer things in your wardrobe, but they should be of better quality and more expensive. Elegance is created with the help of natural silk, cashmere, expensive bags and shoes.
Give preference to hairstyles with shortened strands or shoulder length. With age, hair becomes less manageable and loses its natural shine. Therefore, it is better to avoid long curls. A stylish short haircut makes a woman look several years younger.
Choose a hair color close to your natural shade.
Don't give up on heels completely . Of course, a woman over 50 should have shoes that are comfortable and comfortable. However, have a pair of heels in your wardrobe. Wear them when you go out.
Makeup after 50 years should be light and soft. Avoid too bright lipsticks and pearlescent shadows, as they emphasize wrinkles.
An open smile always makes people more attractive and younger. Of course, provided that your teeth are in order. Therefore, visits to the dentist should be regular.
Your home clothes should also be beautiful. Get rid of old robes and washed T-shirts. You shouldn't be ashamed of your appearance if neighbors or guests drop by unexpectedly.

Stylish
Fashion experts are confident that the wardrobe of a stylish woman over 50 must include the following items:

Straight trousers with arrows.
Bright blouses or shirts.
Pencil skirt covering the knees.
Knitted cardigan.
The dress is a sheath of dark, rich tones.
Classic cut jeans with minimal decoration.

You can look great and be attractive at any age if you be yourself and don’t chase youth.

How to live as a single woman after 50: advice from psychologists

Loneliness is a fairly common phenomenon in modern society. The reasons why a woman becomes lonely after 50 years can be different:

Loss of a loved one.
Betrayal.
Reluctance to share life with someone else.

Many ladies nowadays consciously choose a free life. However, there are women for whom loneliness is not a choice, but a forced state. It is very difficult for them to bear it. With all their souls they want to get rid of loneliness, but they don’t know how.

If something didn’t work out in youth, then by adulthood single life becomes painful and unbearable. After all, the weaker sex by nature has a need for emotional attachment.
Often a single woman, having crossed the age of 50, fears the future. She realizes that she was unable to fully realize her plans and desires. It seems to her that life has passed her by, nothing good will happen, and all opportunities are left behind.
However, in fact, what makes our life bright is not so much the events that happen, but how we live them. Believe me, you can feel lonely even if you have a large family. Conversely, a mature woman living alone is quite capable of finding joy in life and being happy.

Loneliness at 50
Listen to the advice of psychologists on how to live as a single woman after 50:

Believe that your loneliness is temporary. And it happened to you not because you were somehow wrong.
No matter what you have experienced in the past, do not isolate yourself. Don't wait for someone to save you from loneliness. Only you are responsible for your life. Go towards people yourself. Communicate more with others - in transport, church, cafe, theater, at exhibitions, etc.
Stop suffering and feeling sorry for yourself. Self-pity is a pretty destructive thing. Don't waste your remaining years on this.
Experience your solitude as freedom. Nothing and no one binds you. You can live for your own pleasure and are free to do as you want.
Be socially active. Visit places where you can meet like-minded people: sports clubs, libraries, theaters, master classes. Meet new people. Don't be afraid to talk to them first.
Try to travel more. Take uncharted routes to the most unexpected places. Experience the world in all its colors.
Live in the present and don't remember the past. Especially if you have experienced a lot of pain and suffering.
Forget about how old you are. Don't get hung up on age.
Take care of your health, appearance, self-development.
Enjoy the conversation. Go visit your friends and relatives. Invite them to your place more often. Don't wait for a reason. Organize get-togethers at home just like that.
Always be busy with something. Even if you don’t feel like it, force yourself to do something. Then you will not have enough time for negative thoughts.
Don't hold onto any anger or resentment. Smile. Positive people always attract positive events into their lives.
If you work and you like your job, don't leave it for as long as possible . If you don’t have a job, find something to do. And not a hobby that you can abandon at any moment, but a serious activity that you consider as full-fledged and responsible work.

Work

Help others, become a volunteer. When you help people fulfill their desires, you yourself are filled with joy and positivity.
Believe in love and don't give up on romance. Don't think that this feeling is for young people. You can meet her at 70 and 80 years old. Happiness is possible at any age.
Believe me, it is quite possible to learn to be happy without outside participation. Because for a self-sufficient and independent person, life is interesting and easy even in a single status.

Your life is what you think about it. So think only in a positive way. And then the years that lie ahead of you will be joyful and fulfilling.

How to find the meaning of life at 30

Where to find the meaning of life around the age of 30 becomes a pressing question for many and is directly related to the age crisis, changes in the value system, ideas about oneself and life. It is around the age of thirty that a person first encounters the discrepancy between how he lived before and what he generally wants and what he can do.

This is the age of maturity when a person is most fully capable of introspection and an objective view of his personality. Most often, a detailed delving into these topics leads to an awareness of the external success of life and its internal degradation. What seemed relevant before - achieving a social position, earning material resources - has most often already been achieved. Attention flows into other areas and the person discovers that he lives next to strangers, does not develop spiritually, or has completely moved away from his own interests.

Living conditions have changed, the personality has also become different, and the problem of finding a new semantic space becomes urgent. For the first time in moments of crisis, you should refrain from actively changing your life under the influence of emotions, but conduct an audit of what you have and evaluate how joyful it is to have some things, events or people. It may turn out that communication with your spouse only causes negative emotions or you are not happy with your work, you may be annoyed by your own appearance or emptiness in your free time. The items can be anything or there can be several of them. It is important to leave what brings joy, see how you can adjust what causes a little discomfort and get rid of what is unnecessary.

It seems that the easiest way is to cross out what is even a little disturbing, but empty living space increases the level of anxiety and meaninglessness; it definitely needs to be filled. Accordingly, a huge amount of internal work is planned to find those moments that you now love and from which you rejoice. Perhaps less costs will be caused not by a change of profession, but by a company; sometimes it is easier to establish a relationship with a spouse than to build one with someone new. The processes of disposal and replacement must occur simultaneously, since prolonged discomfort destroys all areas of life, and if you get rid of everything in one movement, the feeling of emptiness can further aggravate the feeling of meaninglessness.

To better understand your needs, there are several visualization techniques. In the first option, you need to mentally scroll through your life to the very beginning and carefully note those moments that you would like to change. Perhaps now is the time for such experiments. The second visualization is about gratitude, which involves imagining all the moments in life for which you are grateful and happy. You need to try to develop these situations or format them a little, to give them a new direction.

Feel free to fulfill your desires if the question of meaning becomes relevant. Find time, remember what you wanted or who you were jealous of and be sure to do some of these points.

By becoming aware of how you feel in the present moment, you not only begin to live a more fulfilling life, but also remove automatic responses. If earlier your spouse suggested going to a barbecue, and you immediately went to marinate the meat, now give yourself ten minutes to think, maybe you feel like you want to go to the pool or lie down with a book, then you shouldn’t agree to the trip. Trying to live as before under changed conditions is not only unproductive, but dangerous for your mental health.
