So let’s talk about ends...the end of 2020, to be specific.😅
What would you like to put behind you?
I asked my client, Ginny, what she wanted to leave behind in 2020.
She laughed and said, “That’s easy. My mask!”
Coleen said, “The Quarantine 15 I put on waiting for the lockdown(s) to end and the workout clothes I hung out in all day, every day, (and never worked out!).”
I confess I want to travel again. I visualize the future I want to see.
I get into a meditative state and literally live my best life now. I see myself traveling freely, going to work, and getting together with friends for lunch again!
It’s all about ownership and taking control.
Yes, I can let wearing a mask bother me. Really, it’s not the greatest thing for your skin. Have you heard of Maske yet?
I miss going to Pearl Chinese Cuisine at Bayview Village and having some Dim Sum for lunch. Their Steamed Spinach & Shrimp Dumping is fantastic. You’ve got to try them and support them when they’re allowed to open up again!
I’m concerned about my 90-year-old mother and what all this wackiness is doing to her health—mentally and physically.
But I choose not to let any of this bother me.
I can choose to focus on all the negatives that are going on, things that bother me but are out of my control that I can’t do anything about.
OR
I can take charge of the situation, remember all the blessings I have (my husband who spoils me, a growing business with a new partner, an exciting new way (and new technique that’s helping more women look young and beautiful with less effort), and go on and live the way I want to live, and not let COVID take over my life.
It’s like the serenity prayer.
As 2020 comes to an end, I choose to accept the things I cannot change, have the courage to change the things I can, and pray for wisdom to know the difference.
The same can be said about aging.
There are so many choices to make when it comes to aging.
Some choose just to let aging take over their life and choose not to do anything about it, wishing they would’ve started taking care of themselves earlier.
Some never accept aging as a natural process of life and go to the extreme and turn themselves into someone they don’t even recognize in the mirror.
Fillers, Botox, surgery? All out there for the asking but risky and temporary.
My friend’s husband said: Women (and men) who get “things injected” are just renting their face for a short period of time. You never stop paying for it. The rent money goes up every year, while the room gets older and deteriorates.
I thought that was a brilliant insight!
If we have no choice but to pay the plastic surgeon or Avon just so we can look better in the mirror, we’re just renting our face from them!
What if I tell you there’s a better way?
There’s a way for you to “own your face.”
A way for you to take back control again.
A way for you to slow down or even reverse the effect of gravity pulling on your face.
A natural way to lift and tone your face and brighten your dull skin without having to pay the plastic surgeon or Avon forever and ever.
Something good and positive that’ll help you say goodbye to 2020 on a high note and help you look your best for 2021.
