Goddesses never age

There are some books you read that you know will change your life. 

I recently read Goddesses Never Age by Dr Christiane Northrup and was so inspired that i want to encourage all women to read it.

Apologies, men, this one is for us women, but be assured that you will benefit as much (well, almost as much!). Having read it, watch for the materialisation of the ageless goddess before your eyes … I promise your lives will be much more pleasurable!

Christiane’s central premise in her book is this: age really is just a number, and agelessness means not buying into the idea that a number determines everything, from your state of health to your attractiveness to your value. You can beyounger at 60 than you were at 30 because you’ve changed your attitude and lifestyle.

Ageless living is courageous living 

It means being undistracted by the petty dramas of life because you have enough experience to know what’s not worth worrying about and what ought to be prioritised.

Goddesses Never Age is not your run-of-the-mill self-help book. It challenges us to relinquish myths that we have internalised and that age us … myths about women, about our relationships with each other, about our bodies.

In this book, Christiane challenges us to grow older withgusto rather than to deteriorate with age.  Then, she says, you won’t be old and you won’t be young: you will be something else … an ageless goddess!

“We are not proponents of long life. We are proponents of joyful life, and when you find yourself in joy, the longevity usually follows. We do not count the success of a life by its length; we count it by its joy,” says Christiane.

Inspiring take-aways

• People with positive perceptions about ageing live on average seven-and-a-half years longer than people who don’t hold that belief.
• Being vivacious and fully engaged by our experiences and enjoying our creativity protects our brain health … and keeps Alzheimer’s away.
• Your thoughts and your beliefs are the single most important indicators of your state of health.
• The anti-ageing prescription is to love life, to try new things and to savour your experiences.

Happy reading!  I would love you to share your Ageless Goddess story with me.
