Your birthday is coming up and you start to tremble. Another year, it can’t be! You are getting older, you have not yet achieved everything you wanted in life and you do not even know if you are relatively happy. And just in case one day you forget your age, there you have gray hair, wrinkles, flaccidity and frequent visits to the doctor as a reminder. But excuse me, because we are painting the situation in a negative way and here we have come to turn the tortilla around. Birthday has positive things. Do you know the advantages of turning one more year?
Advantages of having a birthday
In a society that values youth and physical appearance above all things, it is difficult to find the positive side of birthdays. But it has. You do not believe it? There are no reasons not to celebrate your next birthday with joy and in style. That is why we suggest that you sit in front of your cake and, before blowing out the many candles, think about the number of positive things that a new year has to offer.
- You know more. It is what they call experience. Your experiences, your memories, everything you have felt and experienced make you a wiser woman and, therefore, more prepared to enjoy life and to face any unforeseen event.
- You are richer. Age implies wealth, although unfortunately not money. We are referring to inner wealth, which is also valid for facing the day to day with more serenity and for knowing those little secrets that make up happiness.
- You define your criteria. Over the years you have a more defined and coherent criterion in your family, social and love relationships. Now you know how to recognize a toxic relationship at first sight and you make sure to stay well away from those kinds of people who don’t like you well.
- You love better. Yes, you are of a certain age and perhaps several sentimental failures behind you. But don’t take it as failures, but as trials before finding true love. Because if the experience in love gives you something, it is that you learn to love better, to love healthier.
- You value what you have. Your parents, your friends, your sisters, your children, your partner, your job, your hobbies… you have a lot of people and things around you that contribute to making you happy and now is when you begin to really value them, distinguish the important things in life.
- You know yourself better. Surely in all these years you have dedicated a little time to introspection or to know yourself. Good, because it’s just what you need to know what you like and what you don’t, what suits you and what doesn’t. In short, now you know what makes you happy and what doesn’t.
- You are stronger. Do you remember when you were younger and you were so lost that everything was beyond you? Years and experience teach you that you are stronger than you think and that you can get out of any situation. And that if you fall, you get up and continue.
- You are more independent. Even if you are surrounded by people, you are more independent. It is the years that you are turning that make you realize that in order to be yourself you must avoid emotional dependency and maintain your own space, your own life.
- Without complex. The theory says that as you get older you accept yourself as you are and, therefore, those complexes from your youth are forgotten. Well, to be realistic, you may be faced with new hang-ups, but now you know how to overcome them more easily.
- You are freer. The years give you the most precious thing, which is freedom. Freedom to be yourself, to be authentic and to follow your own values. Freedom to live life as you choose.
