Unreal.
There are plenty of things to look forward to when you’re in your 40s.
Your 30s are over, for one. You’ll hopefully be fairly settled in your career. You may even have a mortgage and everything – exciting.
There is one other thing that’s pretty good about turning 40 too – as a woman, you’re more likely to be happier than you’ve ever been before.
And this happiness will continue well into your 50s too.
Ideal.
According to research carried out in the UK, 44 is ‘the age’ for women to be at their happiest and healthiest, with 70 percent of women in their 40s and 50s saying that they’ve never been so delighted with life.
As well as this, almost half of women surveyed said they don’t have the same insecurities that they used to have in their younger years and 66 percent said they feel more confident about their bodies.
The poll conducted by Ryvita also showed that half of women in their 40s and 50s report having better sex than they did in their 20s and 30s.
Over half also said that they’re less critical of themselves now compared to in previous decades.
A lot to look forward to then for a lot of us.
