Things i think I am too old doing♥

A lot of people say that age is just a number, but let's face it we will all get old and there are things that we are no longer comfortable doing.  At 50 here are some of the things I feel I'm too old doing.

1. Wearing too short clothes - Though I don't wear micro mini skirts but I wore short-shorts during my younger years.  But now I am not really comfortable wearing that kind of shorts anymore  and same with micro mini dresses.

I said goodbye to short-shorts and now I go for medium length or Bermuda shorts.  The same with dress I am more comfortable to wear medium length dress with a few inches above the knee.

2. Wearing too much accessories - I believe as you age - "less is more".

Before I used to wear a lot of accessories: like stacking a lot of bracelets or bangles, necklaces.. but now I am more on the minimalist side - I'm good with just 2 or 3 bracelets.  I am okay with stud earrings and a bracelet or bangles.

I ditched wearing cocktail rings at the moment I am now into wearing two rings in one hand and a ring on the other.

3. Wearing uncomfortable shoes :  For the past 10 years I have already stopped wearing sky high heels shoes, because I started having back and foot pain.

I still do wear heels - two or three inches is fine but it's a no-no for the 6 inches heels I used to wear before.  At work I use ballet flats and sneakers for malling or meet up days with family and friends.

4. Working out for more than 1 hour : I can no longer do this anymore.  I am afraid of hurting myself  (again): one time I sprained my ankle by exerting too much effort on working out.  I got my vertigo for over speeding on the tread mill.. so lesson learned.

I do 30 to 45 minutes Zumba every weekend (or if I don't have work), but I make it a point to walk more.  I don't use the escalator and elevator at work I take the stairs.  I do stretching more to tone my muscles because lately I do feel my muscles are too stiff and it truly helps in managing my joint pains.

5.  Keeping quiet and not expressing myself :  I no longer keep my mouth shut whenever I think I need to say or express something.  When I turned 40 I realized that I should learn to speak my mind.  Yes, there are moments I still control it to prevent arguments.  Because arguments normally gives us stress and we don't want that.  (*wink!)  Most of the time I do say what I feel and I choose my battles.

Few years ago I was bullied by someone she thought I was still the same shy and quiet person..it happened twice.  She kept on telling me that I should have not done this or that.  Excuse me, I am not her puppet. Please...ahaha.  I finished my responsibilities and left the group afterwards.     

6.  Spending time with people I don't really like :  I started this a couple of years ago: getting rid of toxic people in my life.  Gone are the dramas, gossips that add stress to my life.

Life is too short, might as well spend it with family and friends that you truly love and care about.  Believe me, removing unpleasant people in your life is such a relief.

7.  Complaining too much :  I try to see the good in everything.  Maybe I reached the point in my life that I value - gratefulness more than everything.  

If I am disappointed (we're only human it's normal) I just think that I am still blessed.
