This #ThinkingThirsday, I’m reflecting on aging 🤔

In professional practice as a Holistic Facilitator of Body Work & Inner Work, I hear people comment on aging often 👵🏻🧓🏽👴🏾

Not only do we see the natural process as negative and uncomfortable, there’s shame and scorn too often perceived 😔

Our colonial cultural perspective has an embedded hierarchy of people who are better and worse, worthy and unworthy 🙃

Unproductive people, with deteriorating bodies are near the bottom of the heap, in this twisted, toxic value system — the prejudice & discrimination of ageism 😢

Does this sound familiar?

Granted I’m 41, not yet in menopause, but I’m inspired seeing people enter their 2nd & 3rd Act with empowered vitality, bucking the trend 🤗

When people tell me “aging sucks”, I ask them “how well do you take care of yourself?”

I see aging as a privilege, blessing and comes with responsibility, to ourselves and others 💞

It’s never too late to shift perspective, change habits, and practice self growth 🦋
