The moment of awareness

Understanding that youth passes, half-lived life and you become a woman "of a certain age", as the French say, often frightening. Since awareness begins a period that can last for months or years, the period when you meticulously peer into yourself and think about those years: "What I have done in my life so far", "Where I go", "What I have I want in the remaining years of my life? ". But it is also a time when you can and should fully engage in the disclosure of its capabilities and its own development.
When this happens? Some women consider themselves to be the aged and begin to identify themselves as middle age before forty years. "Others start to feel like a middle-aged forty with a small; there are those who feel young and after fifty, says Mary M. George, Ph.D., associate professor of psychology at Pennsylvania State University. Although we generally believe that the transition from youth to old age is in the middle of life, for everyone it happens at different times.
My daughter is 29 years old and she is already looking in the mirror lines, continues Dr. George. It checks whether the physical signs of aging, to be sure, if she looks young and looks older. Because in general, that's how most women are judged on their age, considering the end of youth and the beginning of the appearance of physical changes of aging. "
Of course, many women approaching middle age, with no end to see themselves in the mirror. Like the daughter of Dr George, we check that there are no wrinkles, bags under the eyes, studying the color of the skin. None of us want to find the middle of life with a mesh of wrinkles and sagging figure, anyway, on their own.
Take, for example, Lena Borowitz. Tall, slender blonde with hair reddish hue, it is concerned about the fate of the world, the future of his soul and his career. It never really bothered how it looks, it is enough that the boss considers it a knowledgeable expert, and her husband is sexually attractive.
Yet forty-four Lena bitterly observes the changes taking place with her body. Its not oppress beginning to turn gray hair, which she describes as touched by frost, but the wrinkles around the eyes, bags under the eyes, tendency to gain weight ...
"I try to look at things philosophically, but it does not help much, she says frankly. When I pass by a shop window and catch his reflection in it, I think: "My God! When did it happen?"
