After feeling miserable about my age from 28 to 34, I am here to share with you my 40 reasons to feel fabulous at 40 and beyond. Let’s enjoy this blessing called Life!

What day is today? It is my birthday!!! Woohoo!!! (pops the confetti) I never thought I would say that in my life, but I am excited to share this day every one for once.

I have so many reasons to be excited! The fact that I made it is already amazing. It is not like I have a wild life. Quite the opposite. I am probably one of the most boring persons you have ever met. But I always let stress and perfectionism have the best of me.

I do not know how old you are, maybe you cannot write your own 40 reasons to feel fabulous at 40 yet. Or maybe you are writing more chapters. But take the time to look around.

Think of at least 5 things you are thankful for or happy about. Write them down. Place them somewhere you can easily reach. Whenever you feel lost or in doubt, go back to your list. It is your ticket back to Balance. Let it be your inspiration, your source of motivation and strength.

When is your birthday? How do you like to celebrate it?
