Dearest Ana, you are like a delicate flower. 🌸 Genetics play the biggest part in how a person looks. I’m 77 and hardly have any wrinkles, thanks to my mother, who was so vain and taught me to moisturize, moisturize. At 82 she looked like 65. She still colored her hair till the day she died. She did all this to feel good about herself, not for anybody else. Love, warmth, and hugs to you my friend. ❤
The years may age you physically, but it is the life experiences that ages us mentally. It wasn’t until I was 50 that I began to experience how the older you get the more you are discounted. As I approached 60 I became less visible. You are no longer approached with opportunities. Your experience is seen as dated. Today more than ever, at least in the U.S. generations are labeled, stereotyped and pitted against each other. At 64 I’m labeled as a late “Boomer”. Mistakenly, Im stereotyped as someone that had it economically easy, polluted the earth… when in truth I grew up very simply in a small home where my parents gave us very little material wealth. I worked and lived at home in order to attend college. My husband’s college was paid by the military. So yes, we didn’t have school loans but we were both late 20’s before we could complete our degrees. I’ve continued a simple life and consider myself an environmentalist. This manipulation of generational division and competition is a marketing ploy. So making generalizations of any age does not serve society only the economy. It’s very difficult to live in a society that only values youth, when you are older and still have much to offer.
I'm a younger Millennial and I love Boomers; my parents are Boomers (61 and 62). Your generation did the best it could with the opportunities you were given, and I'm sure younger generations wouldn't have made drastically different decisions or made a different impact on the world. Also, you gave the world amazing music, movies, TV series, advances, and innovations. No wonder the 80s are most people's favorite decade. And I believe older people have so much more to share with the world thanks to their experience, wisdom, and everything they've seen. I was pretty dumb at 20. - Except for my optimism, there was nothing special going on about me because I haven't lived long enough to learn and genuinely experience life and its challenges. Sadly, our society is too focused on youth (and youth, indeed, is wasted on the young), but there are still many of us who respect and see older people. Moreover, we will all get there, there's no escape from our youth escaping us. I always remind my parents they're valued and still have so much to offer to the world. But younger people should definitely work on creating a less ageist society, and show respect and interest in those who've had more time on Earth.
To learn to age with grace and accept oneself as we are, is a big key to happiness in our later years. I also have a minimalistic routine and love the simplicity of it.
I have 3 children. My eldest son is 41 like you, and my youngest is 21! In some ways, it's all just a number! (btw I was 24 when I had my first, thus 44 when I had my last!) 41 is so much younger than you think it is when you're 41!
This was a perfect way to start my day! I will soon be 71. When I turned 70, it was like my body changed overnight; my skin looked older and my hair started thinning. Saying goodbye to friends has been very difficult for me. I am retired and I think it is harder to make friends as I don’t have the social outlets. I am eliminating a lot of excess clutter and changing my diet. I think it will bring a calmness to my life. Ana, you look beautiful and your complexion is flawless. Thank you for sharing your beauty tips. You always bring a smile to my face and joy into my life. You are a dear friend. ❤
Dear Ana what a great video! I have become 60 last July and I must write that I feel much more comfortable in myself.As a teenager and young adult and mom ,I was so insecure,so easily wounded,I don't recognize my past self.I simplified my life and I have done lots of work( psychoanalysis) with myself and I feel and look better than my 40s and 50s.Do you know a title of this book about taping? Or an internet link maybe?
@@efstathiakositzidou2490 Dear Efstathia, I don't remember the book's title, nor I have any link. But I bet there are so many trustworthy sources now, after almost 5 years since I read that book 😊
Thanks again for a very helpful video. I turned 61 in November, and I cannot believe it. I’m the youngest child and grandchild, so I feel like I’ve been lulled into the “baby of the family” mentality. Yesterday, I had the honor of treating my daughter and daughter-in-law to lunch. I feel like I’m part of the group, but as I listened to their (36 and 38 yo) conversations, I was struck with reality. I’m NOT of this generation. I feel older, I look older, I act older. Thanks to your topic, I realize I can combat this age-thing just by feeding myself right and moving my body. I don’t want to be 30 or even 40 again, but I do want to be able to take care of myself for as long as I can. It’s never too late. ☺️
I so agree with you about the comments on looking younger than your age. I think it's impolite. And it only goes one way - no one would say - oh you look older than your age because we 're conditioned to believe that youthfulness is everything. We all age differently - it's mostly down to genes and we can't do anything about it. People need to respect that. As an older woman I so agree that we just aren't allowed a place in society - unless we have supermodel looks at age 65+
I am highly sensitive and it has served me as much as hindered me. So many things are perceived as a weakness that are really just a different way of being. For all the migraines and overly empathetic moments of my life, I wouldn’t trade the beauty I can perceive or the soft spaces I can help lend to others who need to be understood.
We cannot return to the past nor spend too much time thinking about the future: the former leads to depression and the latter anxiety. It’s hard to do but whenever possible we should try to take things one day at a time. I find this to be harder as I get older. Thanks for the chat ❤
I'm also an HSP and definitely agree that it increases with age! I wouldn't even have said I was that sensitive until I got to my late 20s - I'm 42 now and super sensitive to everything, especially sound which drives me crazy frequently and people's energies. Sometimes it actually feels like a handicap, but I try to reassure myself that we HSPs have an important societal function of being the 'canary down the mine' (its not that much of a comfort, but it's better than feeling like it's a weakness!). I also think that it makes us kinder, more empathetic humans, which this world definitely needs more of, and better able to avoid risky situations and unpleasant or dangerous people 🙂. I also wish there was more recognition and help for midlife career changers! I've often said that if I ever become rich I will set up a foundation to give funding for this group (which I currently belong to haha)
I'm gonna turn 41 in June this year. I don't feel my age and - luckily - don't look 41 either. You are young and beautiful, inside and out. Remember, the best is yet to come ❤
@@Satsusssit's not! I've never said that. I'm just bringig facts. I said "luckily", because I like it. I think - may be wrong - looking young often means that my body is healthy and young as well. And that's a good thing, right?
I didn’t feel my age at 41. I did by the time I was 50. Had a few health crises. I am now 56 and I feel better than I did at 50. I changed quite a few things between 46 and 56. I was trying to be the definition of success but it wasn’t what my body says is success. I strive to live in harmony with that. Thanks for your video.
Dear Ana. 😊Just put aside the thoughts of weakness. As a 61-year-old, I have always considered my sensitivity to be a strength, even though it sometimes complicates life a bit compared to what others perceive as "normal". I smile just like you when you talk about the good genes and the sometimes awkward compliments. 😅 After all, we are just us and should be happy that we have the privilege of getting older. ❤ Sending you many good thoughts and many golden years ahead. 🙏
It doesn't take a hundred products to take care of ourselves. The best advice I can give is to hydrate inside and out. I drink a ton of water and moisturize my skin. At 63, I get many people telling me my skin looks beautiful. Not me, but my skin. Start doing this at a young age and never stop.
I appreciate your reflections of aging and life outlooks as we realize we’re aging and it’s not stopping. Now I’m 63…almost 64…..miles to go yet! I’m lucky my life is simple and pretty basic…and wonderful as a wandering hermit, observer, creative.💜🐇
Thank you for this lovely video. I am 41 too. Here is my list of insights: I do less compromise, I let go the idea of best friend, I am done with many bad habits, I’ve done enough therapy, I am grateful for my house, I am good in my job, I don’t judge myself and my ordinary life, I don’t drink anymore, I choose to don’t travel and stay in my village, I don’t fight with people (I go away), I don’t have energy for problems, I ask less from life and I am less ambitious, I enjoy nature, I try more and more to be healthy and nice to myself, I give priority to health before work, I declutter a lot, I let go, I want space for something new (again), I love to consider the value of what is staying too, I read books for the second time, I found my skincare routine, I found my style (I don’t regret my purchases anymore), I love everybody and don’t want specific friends, being free is a huge thing for me, I enjoy my free time.
Good Morning, Ana! So nice to have my morning coffee with you ☕. I've found that high sensativity is also associated with empaths. Being more in tuned with the energies around you means you are also more affected by them. I've seen throughout your videos that you are versed in self-care remedies, and they really do serve better than anything else (like medications). A hot cup of tea and a cozy sweater can address most ailments! More nature and less people has been a good adage for me as well! 🍂🌳🐇
Hi Ana - I am 54 and have to say that I am enjoying my 50s so much! Sure there are wrinkles and some joint issues, but I eat well and exercise. Just trying to grow old gracefully. I feel so much more secure and wiser now than I did in any other decade. Looking forward to everything else this wonderful life has to offer. 💕💕
Спасибо! Ценно слышать опыт от женщин старше 30-35, кажется, как будто в современных медиа очень этого не хватает. И очень ценно читать комментарии тех, кто еще старше. Мне 28, кажется только пару лет как возраст начал для меня существовать как заметная категория. Вся культурная шелуха про то, какие мы старые станем в 30, кажется дикостью. Про высокую чувствительность много думаю в контексте нейроотличий, и то, что с возрастом становится выраженнее несколько расстраивает. С другой стороны, с возрастом мы учимся уважать свои особенности, так что почесу бы и нет.
hello Ana. I am 53 this year. What i have learned so far about getting older has allowed me to give up ideas, clothing, certificates and previous versions of my self that i thought at one time were so encompassing and absolute. I did martial arts for fifteen years, twenty years ago. I lived and breathed it. This year i decided to give away my gei, destroy my certificates and let go of that part of myself. Yes, getting older forces us to say goodbye to earlier versions of ourselves. I have had to really restrict myself to not buy the latest anti aging skin care. I have realized that what ever cream or lotion i put on my face, the passage of years will still be there.
Ana - thank you for discussing such important issues on your videos - not just in this videos but many others also. I so enjoy your thoughtful discussions that examine what matters in life. It is so difficult to find this on You Tube. Other creators just give “life hacks” - which can be interesting (I liked you beauty hacks), but these other creators don’t go very deep and they present their content as if they know all the answers. I appreciate you and your channel!
Very interesting presentation. I am 70 years old and I feel very happy and grateful. I am full of vitality and energy. I feel beautiful . I don't regret any moment of my life. I think age is a number. Castor oil is my best companion for all the benefits it provide. Thank you for sharing your thoughts .
I’m back yes ❤ I am very sensitive too. Feel everything. More and more each year. I’m now 32 in this life, in this body ☺️ I like getting older because I can just be myself and feel less I have to do whatever other people do ☺️⭐️ I like simplicity too❤ Its beautiful. I love you so much my friend. 🥰⭐️ And you are such a beautiful soul!
In the european subsidy system for farmers you are considered a "young farmer" till the age of 40 and therefore get extra help to start your business. It probably depends a lot what's considered old or young ;)
What a thought provoking video. As someone who is a few years older than you, I have my own perspective on the process of moving through the years with gratitude, grace, humility, understanding, and joy. Each age has its "good points" and its "more challenging points". We move through life, make mistakes (sometime really dumb mistakes, which we have difficulty letting go of) and become - hopefully - wiser with each passing year. Spoiler Alert: You are not "old" Ana. You are a gifted, creative, thoughtful, strong, courageous, and adaptive individual, who is doing the best she can, each and every day. Sure, there are physical things that I could once accomplish, that now are a bit more challenging. Yet, with the proper attitude, and tools, and time, and creativity, I can and do just about everything I want to do. Each year of my life has helped me become a better person; physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. At this point in my life journey I find great value in simplicity, and great joy in the everyday activities that help me remain strong and healthy. Many years ago I began making food choices that, have gotten more and more specific over the years. These choices have assisted me in maintaining my overall health, for which I am thankful. I urge you to allow yourself to appreciate who you are and what you offer to the world; not only the CZcams universe, but those with whom you interact on a daily basis. All the best to you and Brian, as you continue to discover who you are and how you desire to live your individual and collective life. Peace & Blessings.
As a posture and strength coach, I couldn’t agree more that strength, mobility, and coordination are all equally important! If you have any hypermobility (just guessing based on some of the things you mentioned) using weights and other props such as the wall, or stepping on rocks/ nonflat surfaces, etc. for proprioceptive feedback (to help feel where your joints are in space) can be really helpful in stabilizing your joints. There is more and more research to show this helps with anxiety too, because folks with chronic joint instability have a high co-occurrence of anxiety (the body senses this instability and responds with a vague sense of overwhelm). Anyhow, I thought you might find that interesting, and it could potentially help strengthen and support your knee!
I turned 31 two weeks ago (Ana, if I'm not wrong, you're also an Aquarius?) and although I look my age, I feel much older. I've had many things happen in the past four years, including having COVID twice and losing work to AI, which has all aged me mentally. Sadly, I feel worn out, slightly hopeless, and uninterested in the future. I've been always interested in progress and consider myself a tech enthusiast. Still, all these rapid post-pandemic technological advances, the toxicity of social media, economic uncertainty, and wars make me feel like we entered a dystopian era. I don't see things getting better and I wish I could return to the past.
Dear Ana. First of all happy belated birthday 🎉. I wish you all the best and most important health. I loved this topic. No.1 is a topic I totally relate. I'm 48 and I get more sensitive the older I get. The worst part for me is that I easily absorb negative energies from other people. I don't know how to avoid this. It drives me crazy. Regarding beauty products I don't use a lot, no specific anti-age products, but I really like hyaluronic acid. I need to work on my face relaxation though, especially on my forehead 😉. I'm starting to get a few grey hair now, but I'm healthy, which is more important than the rest 🙏😊 Take care.
Dear Ana, great video again! Thank you! I think every age has its particular aestetics, like every age has its potentials and challenges. We are free to find out. That is just the oposite of fullfilling norms and convetions. Beauty can be found everywhere.
I love your insights. You have such interesting thoughts that I can relate to. I am 65 next month & am thankful every morning for waking up & feeling good ❤ Health is your Wealth. Have a lovely week ahead ❤
As 56 year old guy I can agree with getting older I all ways had anxiety problems but in the last few years I have noticed they have been getting worse I cant drink coffee any more and body pains often its like a wall one day your ok then wham its hear getting older is not fun but its a fact of life great vid thank you
Ana, you are beautiful and radiant in your conduct and appearance ❤your sensitivity is great awareness of life. You’re truly inspiring! congratulations on 41 years young!🎉
Dear Ana, Hvala na divnom videu. Zaista je glupo kako je u društvu izražen kult mladosti.Naravno da je mladost lepa sama po sebi ali godine donose ipak iskustvo. Ni ja nisam pristalica estetskih operacija lica.Stvarno mi je smešno videti zategnuto lice a ruke puno staračkih pega i vrat pun bora.Ne možemo prevariti prirodu. Meni je važnije da sam zdrava ali nažalost imam osteroartritis pa mi to malo umanjuje kvalitet života. Biti mlad duhom to je moja deviza.❤❤❤❤
I like this type of chat! I am much much older and to be honest after I turned 40 I stoped being preoccupied by my looks. Unfortunately. Once I turned 54 every day for me has been a gift but I have now no energy to recover the damage produced by neglect and my health is deteriorating while it could be a lot better if I payed more attention. I didn’t understood the tape use for facial care but I am using tape sometimes to reduce stress in my wrists. Thank you for the chat! It was delightful! May God grant you a healthy life!
So glad you brought us this content. I will be 50 this year. I am trying to embrace the next phase and working hard on a simpler life and am trying to nourish myself physically as well as mentally. I felt lonely dwelling on aging now more content and positive listening to your encouraging words! I am now not giving into my arthritic joints and tackling my health proactively. Thank you Ana x
I have high sensitivity to noise, light, migraines during storms, insomnia and hyperactivity during full moon, etc and a pretty crappy immune system but I don’t see it as a disability or anything like that, I believe I’m like that to compensate for other physical issues (like being short sighted). I used to have a heightened sense of smell (which I did see as a problem) but due to a certain virus I lost it almost fully and seemingly forever and now I miss it. The high sensitivity shouldn’t bother you, it’s adaptation, and I’ve never heard anyone saying that people who are like that are mentally behind in development or challenged, the opposite actually. Or maybe I misunderstood what you said.
Interesting, also in reading other comments. Sometimes, I think it really is the luck of the draw. I recently turned 59 and don't really feel old, except how come I have a daughter turning 40 next month?! And 6 grandchildren between 0-15... But that may also be because I have my mom (82) and I had my grandmother until 2017 (she was 101) and they have always been youthful and up-to-date in their world views and we are a close, female-dominated family. Personally I have noticed most difference since menopause; I was happy to allow my hair to go grey by the time I was 49 and now I notice how I am not seen by people in a superficial manner. Those who bother to actually hold a conversation with me are frequently visibly surprised that I am a "real" person with intelligent opinions and interests on a deeper level (especially when they see me knitting - is that my granny-disguise?!) - I guess it's others' loss if they don't bother to find out! While society doesn't seem to consider women old over 30 or 40 here in central Europe, I think trying to do/have it all is very stressful for many women and these days I tend to sit back and think they will find out for themselves what matters as they, too, age. My experience is that "myself" has crystallised out more as I've aged, and while yes, I have definitely become more sensitive, that is perhaps also partly accepting what I may previously simply not have recognised in myself! I'm sorry you have had so many negative experiences in your life, so many health issues and goodbyes, but perhaps it has led you to crystallise earlier than some other people - and I think that is a huge positive!!
I loved how you peppered in the shots of you making a little hot drink and snack between scenes. Thanks for sharing your insights as a 41-year-old. From a woman who just entered our 59th year in December.
I've been a subscriber of yours since the beginning of your channel, and I just wanted to let you know how much I look forward to your videos each week. I always find so much inspiration from them, and as a person in their 50's, who's embarking on a new career tomorrow, I very much enjoyed this one! 🤗
Hi, Ana! Thank you for sharing these insights and beauty tips. I'm HSP too, recently I've been reading the book "The Highly Sensitive Person: How to Thrive When the World Overwhelms You" by Elaine Aron. This book helps me understand my emotions and sensitivity better. I recommend you to read it, maybe it'll help you too! 🥰 Love your videos ❤️✨
Ana, this video is so beautiful and so real, you are such a kind, insightful person. My sister who died in 2018 and was a nurse for 50 years always said to me, Better old than dead. Have a wonderful week!
I resonate with your observations 🌼 thank you for sharing. You may enjoy The Emerald Podcast, esp the recent episodes on a mythopoetic perspective on HSP or intuitives. I wish you all the best 😊
hey Ana, i love it, how you talk about ageing with such an ease ❤ more of it please, if you feel like that :) because ageing is so much more than face lifting etc. :D i am 40, and with this age came so much more freedom for me....mentally. i don´t have to be a nice naive girl anymore .... i just can be myself. and i really love this age. thank you for the chat 🥰❤
You look absolutely gorgeous inside and outside. I am so sorry you left Serbia, because I think we need more nice people in our country. I am 47, and I think I look exactly right for my age. I am grateful that my health is still good and I don’t need any medication, only thing that irritates me about my age that I gained some unwanted body fat and excess kilos, that are very hard to lose at this age .
Feeling older is something I relate to! I'm 70 and want to maintain the best health possible. In answer to my question about adequate, effective exercise, my doctor gave me some good advice. He said to imagine what I'd like to do when I'm in my 90's and work towards making that possible. Love that. Funny, when I was 40 I realized I could have appreciated my 30 year old body more and then felt similarly when I entered my 50s. etc. So, now I treasure whatever age I am and hope to enjoy many more years. Also, I looked for the video you've linked us to here because I wanted to try the calendula cream you had mentioned. I couldn't find it so ordered some anyway. I'll be happy to view the video again, though, so thank you for the link! Happy belated birthday! I hope the year brings a lot of joy and peace.
I love this video Ana, ageing is a new fear of mine, and it's refreshing to see one of my favourite youtubers talking about it! And I love your top!! Is this the same pattern as the one with the earthy tones? I'd love to make them. Do you have the pattern up somewhere?
Hi I am in my late 50. I am fortunate that I do not take any medications. I am healthy. I can stilltouch my toes and sit on the floor with my legs crossed. I feel blessed.
Dear Ana, Me myself is in the process of discovery about my neurodivergent side. Being HSP all my life, I was diagnosticated this month with 'giftedness'. I'm 32 now and all the sings and stories from my youth till now make it a rock steady assumption. I beagan to follow you like a year or two ago because of your insinghts in life, your creativity and your vulnerability. The HSP makes my life richer. But there are several 'traps' and I really longed to know it while I was younger. In podcasts, articles and books about HSP they almost never talk about that it is one of the major characteristics of a gifted person. Lots of love. Thank for your content.
Im 67 with grey hair and no age related wrinkles. I have been told if I would dye my hair I would look much younger. Im not chasing youth ,I am working with be as healthy as I can be. All of this is based on my attitude that I don't care what society says .I am living my life for me with great appreciation as not many live to be 67 not on any medication and healthy.
Happy belated birthday Ana. I just turned 57 but people think I'm about 40, when I'm clean shaven they think I'm even younger. Like you, I do feel flattered yet a little awkward when people say that I look great for my age. I can't take all the credit. I do eat right, exercise, reduce stress and focus on staying optimistic but part of it is genetics. Overall I feel good but there are times that I feel extremely tired. I didn't start experiencing fatigue like this until around my early 50's. But I won't complain. It's just part of the aging process for many of us.
Well giving that no one wants to think about the world after so we do have a desire to draw the whole puzzle of life here in this world . And that's also why us humans dont wish to talk about ageing . But if you ever happen to consider and cognizance of another world after this , then in that case we may think that the end of this puzzle will be finish in the other side and there for the concept of ageing should be placed in middle of the puzzle not on the end of it . And i think , cashing any time of the life from childhood to the ageing is sheerly majestic . 🤔🤔🤔🌈🌈🌈🌹🌹🌹
I get told I look much younger than I am a lot too, and it especially is frustrating at work, because it means that people don't think I look old enough to have earned the expertise that I have. I get this a lot from men. It is harder to get my ideas taken seriously because they don't think I could have the years of education and experience that I have. And I didn't rush through school or anything; I earned my expertise at about the average pace of anyone completing similar work. I'm not "young" to be at the place that I am at, and I want to be taken as seriously as a man would be at this point. I think sexism is a big component of this problem.
My belief about high sensitivity is that it's important for the specy evolution otherwise it would have disapeared with evolution. So it's not a weakness it's a needed power. It's sad we can be considered as weak as we are usefull, but's it's a way not to listen to what we experience and means something. We are vital for humanity as we are like watchers we see or ear things first and can warn the others... Also we are first in feeling bad with modern life, being stress with noise, geting gluten intolerance, having migraines with magnetic waves... thing that are bad for everyone but they would need more of it to see the negative impact on them, in fact we protect them as our bodies shows imediatly what's wrong for human being but before the bodies of ordinary people are too impacted.... we were the first sick with little amounts of poisonous plants, we also were the first earing the saber tooth tigers at night... we are like fuses for others, sadly most people prefer to try not to listen to us saying we are weak and needy instead of changing things and the whole humanity is runing into a wall fast speed
You look fantastic, 40 is the new 28 I suppose 😊❤! Hypersensitivity is actually common in autistic people as well as in people with (c)PTSD. I have PTSD and CPTSD combined the consequence of which is 24/7 hypervigilance, the curse of being able to scan the room and know/feel what others feel before they even say a word, 24/7 anxiety, very severe migraines, hyperosmia ( synthetic fragrances are unbearable to me), all types of sensory hypersensitivity to a greater or lesser degree, and, at times, suicidal thoughts when I'm overwhelmed with pain. At 48 I have realized that most of my symptoms, including IBS, are very closely connected to my hormonal status (migraines in particular) but mostly to anxiety. Anxiety is, in my view, the source of all the problems; it destroys a person gradually, deregulates adrenals, thyroid, sex hormones, and the entire nervous system. Children brough up in a dysfunctional family system are robbed of the optimal neurological development. Their amygdala is much bigger and more active and the connection between amygdala and prefrontal cortex is either broken or not as strong as in healthy individuals. Parents are usually not aware of how much is in their power and that it is up to them what the next generation will be like. Generational trauma is the root of all evil, not money. If I feel relatively safe and am able to be calm for a day or two, my body reacts accordingly. I also realised that my symptoms were 80% less severe when I left this god forsaken country of mine (Poland) for the UK where I spent a few years. I had only 2 episodes of migraine in a few years, I could eat anything without constantly vomitting, whereas in Poland I have a migraine on a monthly basis for 3 to 6 days and it's not getting any better in premenopause period. My never ending anxiety and fear of people have been standing in my way for far too long so I decided to do whatever is in my power to break free from this prison-like existence and when my son graduates high school next year I'm leaving, hopefully to never ever come back. I wish you peace and sense of security. You will be able to do anything once you're feeling safe and at home ❤.
Dear Ana, I'm 68 and can vouch for everything you say about getting older, especially in regard to being HSP. Maybe it's because we become more inward focused and pay more attention to our reactions rather than our actions. There could of course also be physical causes. You did not mention short term memory lapses, or what I call my 'sieve brain.' Maybe yours is in better condition than mine! 😊 Best wishes to you and Brian. 🌷❤🌹
Настя, привет! Прекрасно выглядишь. Мне кажется, даже лучше, чем когда мы с тобой познакомились ещё в России. Значит, жизнь наладилась, очень рада за тебя. А ещё хочу сказать, что у тебя прекрасные брови. Я сейчас в свои почти 36 поняла, что люблю себя такой, какая я есть. Так что разрешила себе "отпустить свои брежневки", хожу красивая 😅. А волосы ты красишь? И про артрит, в свое время у очень уважаемых людей слышала про терапию красным светом. Можешь изучить вопрос, и тогда уже можно смело брать ипотеку до 150 лет 😂
Лена, привет! Спасибо за приятные комплименты ❤️ Брови - это прекрасно, так что я солидарничаю с твоими брежневками 😊 Волосы крашу, ага. Одно время ходила с седыми, но потом решила вернуться к цвету. Я начала седеть в 15 лет, так что сейчас уже практически даже не "соль с перцем", а больше "соль". Думаю, как только совсем побелею, то перестану красить. Спасибо за рекомендацию по красному свету, буду изучать!
@@anagoldberg Про волосы - недавно как раз видела такую красивую "старую перечницу". У меня пока не так много седых, но растут очень быстро. Так что красить в свой темный потом будет не вариант. Думаю, что либо буду ходить натуральной, или пробовать с элементами блонда, это называется типа "растягивание", как мелирование.
@@mysli_vsluh Мне кажется, тебе пойдет с элементами блонда! Ну и натюрель тоже. Есть много типов седых волос и они все смотрятся по-разному. Я еще рассматриваю вариант кардинального яркого оттенка (если совсем уж переклинит с годами)))
Yes Ana, I am 68 years old and I notice I have aged some much in the last ten years but I have accepted that’s life, maybe I should removed all the mirrors in my house I heard someone did🤪
Hi Ana thank you for this video i don’t know anything about the tape but I’m presuming it’s a natural way for the face I must look in to this as I like natural ways as much as possible I feel I have not taken true care off myself as I have put others first all the time but now I am aware of taking some care of myself for a change I’ve noticed recently my my physical strength is very weak so I’m looking for a way to help strengthen muscle and regain some strength back thank so much for your video
@@margarettownsley9500 I can't recommend a brand, as I bought the tape that was available at the nearby pharmacy. They all are very affordable and last long.
I turn 40 this year, don't really have conclusions about it yet. But I also choose to not modify my face to make it look younger. I am also curious how much grey hair I have. I used to have bright colors at my head for the last 2 years or so. But here in Spain it is useless because sun, sea air and sea water ruin colors very quickly. So now Igrow it back in my own color and I am very curious. I love grey hair somehow:)
I firmly believe, after suffering migraines for 35 years, that they are made worse by a low, overcast weather and barometric pressure fluctuations, no doubt in my mind whatsoever. Genetics predisposes many people to having migraines. Nothing helped me until Imitrex, or Sumatriptan, came on the market. I finally found a doctor who believed me, and was willing to try it, and I couldn't believe it when it actually worked. I don't think we are freaks, "HSP", or any other trendy term. I just think many of us have genetics and brain chemistry that causes migraines and we don't understand it all, yet. Be well and care for yourself.
Lovely video Ana, and happy birthday! I definitely think HSP are more sensitive to EMFs, like the solar flares you mentioned. There is definitely research into this and it is thought mutations in proteins that control voltage-gated calcium channel (VGCC) activation could be one driver. There really needs to be more research. This predisposes individuals to all sorts of neuropsychiatric symptoms. PMC3780531; PMID 26300312. I agree mobility/posture vital, but I have found at 62, strength training and increasing my protein intake has had a huge postive impact on my health and well being. I now more consciously strive for adequate protein (more like 20-25% protein rather than 15%) and use seitan, plant based protein powder, soy products to do this. As for for looking young, I dont really care about that, I would rather be strong. I dont want to be frail as I go into my 70s and 80s as it is huge downside for healthy aging. But I also dont want to be inflexible either, so need to do well rounded exercise as you suggest. Hugs to you and Brian!
HSP may have extra/ supra sensory issues quite possibly related to high functioning autism . Some claim this neurodiversity is actually a super power! Thanks for your take on minimalism. Happy birthday 🎉!
You have a beautiful face. Do you wear any makeup? I find the older i get the less makeup i use. Most women I know won't leave the house without it including myself. It is such a habit that I feel naked if i don't.
Hi Ana I know you are vegan and that should help with the health care threats you had and the arthritis. It also makes us look younger😉 I am on wholefood plantbased diet difference to vegan being that we don't use oil (as it clogs up arteries) You might be interested in looking into it. I studied it and it makes sense. The job side tes a lot of employers want people they can form but on that note I am 17 years older then you and started a new job last October. Because I am eholefoodplsntbased I had no struggles with menopause simply because by eating the way I leave the hormones out that come from meat and dairy and mess with our own. What drives me most nuts is that niw being near 60ties Doctors don't treat me like any individual but like an old person who should have many health issues as common in my age group. I don't have any of them because of the way I eat😉 I alo noticed that I am a lot calmer about what lives throws at us. Maybe because experience taught me that somehow we get through it. Ah I wish we could sit down with a cup of tea and talk about life. Take care Ana. Love from Scotland💗💕
Dearest Ana, you are like a delicate flower. 🌸 Genetics play the biggest part in how a person looks. I’m 77 and hardly have any wrinkles, thanks to my mother, who was so vain and taught me to moisturize, moisturize. At 82 she looked like 65. She still colored her hair till the day she died. She did all this to feel good about herself, not for anybody else. Love, warmth, and hugs to you my friend. ❤
Thank you, dear friend ❤️
The years may age you physically, but it is the life experiences that ages us mentally.
It wasn’t until I was 50 that I began to experience how the older you get the more you are discounted. As I approached 60 I became less visible. You are no longer approached with opportunities. Your experience is seen as dated. Today more than ever, at least in the U.S. generations are labeled, stereotyped and pitted against each other. At 64 I’m labeled as a late “Boomer”. Mistakenly, Im stereotyped as someone that had it economically easy, polluted the earth… when in truth I grew up very simply in a small home where my parents gave us very little material wealth. I worked and lived at home in order to attend college. My husband’s college was paid by the military. So yes, we didn’t have school loans but we were both late 20’s before we could complete our degrees. I’ve continued a simple life and consider myself an environmentalist. This manipulation of generational division and competition is a marketing ploy. So making generalizations of any age does not serve society only the economy. It’s very difficult to live in a society that only values youth, when you are older and still have much to offer.
"This manipulation of generational division and competition is a marketing ploy", couldn´t agree more. It´s the same in Sweden.
I'm a younger Millennial and I love Boomers; my parents are Boomers (61 and 62). Your generation did the best it could with the opportunities you were given, and I'm sure younger generations wouldn't have made drastically different decisions or made a different impact on the world. Also, you gave the world amazing music, movies, TV series, advances, and innovations. No wonder the 80s are most people's favorite decade.
And I believe older people have so much more to share with the world thanks to their experience, wisdom, and everything they've seen. I was pretty dumb at 20. - Except for my optimism, there was nothing special going on about me because I haven't lived long enough to learn and genuinely experience life and its challenges. Sadly, our society is too focused on youth (and youth, indeed, is wasted on the young), but there are still many of us who respect and see older people. Moreover, we will all get there, there's no escape from our youth escaping us.
I always remind my parents they're valued and still have so much to offer to the world. But younger people should definitely work on creating a less ageist society, and show respect and interest in those who've had more time on Earth.
Love should begin with us, the older.
To learn to age with grace and accept oneself as we are, is a big key to happiness in our later years.
I also have a minimalistic routine and love the simplicity of it.
I have 3 children. My eldest son is 41 like you, and my youngest is 21! In some ways, it's all just a number! (btw I was 24 when I had my first, thus 44 when I had my last!) 41 is so much younger than you think it is when you're 41!
This was a perfect way to start my day! I will soon be 71. When I turned 70, it was like my body changed overnight; my skin looked older and my hair started thinning. Saying goodbye to friends has been very difficult for me. I am retired and I think it is harder to make friends as I don’t have the social outlets. I am eliminating a lot of excess clutter and changing my diet. I think it will bring a calmness to my life. Ana, you look beautiful and your complexion is flawless. Thank you for sharing your beauty tips. You always bring a smile to my face and joy into my life. You are a dear friend. ❤
Oh, dear Ruthann, thank you for your kindness and resonating with me ❤️ Sending lots of love your way, my friend 🌷
Dear Ana what a great video! I have become 60 last July and I must write that I feel much more comfortable in myself.As a teenager and young adult and mom ,I was so insecure,so easily wounded,I don't recognize my past self.I simplified my life and I have done lots of work( psychoanalysis) with myself and I feel and look better than my 40s and 50s.Do you know a title of this book about taping? Or an internet link maybe?
@@efstathiakositzidou2490 Dear Efstathia, I don't remember the book's title, nor I have any link. But I bet there are so many trustworthy sources now, after almost 5 years since I read that book 😊
Thanks again for a very helpful video. I turned 61 in November, and I cannot believe it. I’m the youngest child and grandchild, so I feel like I’ve been lulled into the “baby of the family” mentality. Yesterday, I had the honor of treating my daughter and daughter-in-law to lunch. I feel like I’m part of the group, but as I listened to their (36 and 38 yo) conversations, I was struck with reality. I’m NOT of this generation. I feel older, I look older, I act older. Thanks to your topic, I realize I can combat this age-thing just by feeding myself right and moving my body.
I don’t want to be 30 or even 40 again, but I do want to be able to take care of myself for as long as I can. It’s never too late. ☺️
Thank you for shaering your insightful experience, Kami ❤️ Indeed, health is the most precious asset that we can grow.
I so agree with you about the comments on looking younger than your age. I think it's impolite. And it only goes one way - no one would say - oh you look older than your age because we 're conditioned to believe that youthfulness is everything. We all age differently - it's mostly down to genes and we can't do anything about it. People need to respect that. As an older woman I so agree that we just aren't allowed a place in society - unless we have supermodel looks at age 65+
I am highly sensitive and it has served me as much as hindered me. So many things are perceived as a weakness that are really just a different way of being. For all the migraines and overly empathetic moments of my life, I wouldn’t trade the beauty I can perceive or the soft spaces I can help lend to others who need to be understood.
We cannot return to the past nor spend too much time thinking about the future: the former leads to depression and the latter anxiety. It’s hard to do but whenever possible we should try to take things one day at a time. I find this to be harder as I get older. Thanks for the chat ❤
I look back to the past and think about the future, but in short terms, that allows me to appreciate the growth and plan to continue growing.
I'm also an HSP and definitely agree that it increases with age! I wouldn't even have said I was that sensitive until I got to my late 20s - I'm 42 now and super sensitive to everything, especially sound which drives me crazy frequently and people's energies. Sometimes it actually feels like a handicap, but I try to reassure myself that we HSPs have an important societal function of being the 'canary down the mine' (its not that much of a comfort, but it's better than feeling like it's a weakness!). I also think that it makes us kinder, more empathetic humans, which this world definitely needs more of, and better able to avoid risky situations and unpleasant or dangerous people 🙂. I also wish there was more recognition and help for midlife career changers! I've often said that if I ever become rich I will set up a foundation to give funding for this group (which I currently belong to haha)
I'm gonna turn 41 in June this year. I don't feel my age and - luckily - don't look 41 either.
You are young and beautiful, inside and out.
Remember, the best is yet to come ❤
It's so true- the best is yet to come! Thank you, Katarzyna ❤️
What does 41 look like ? And why is it a bad thing to look our age ?
@@Satsusssit's not! I've never said that. I'm just bringig facts.
I said "luckily", because I like it. I think - may be wrong - looking young often means that my body is healthy and young as well. And that's a good thing, right?
I didn’t feel my age at 41. I did by the time I was 50. Had a few health crises. I am now 56 and I feel better than I did at 50. I changed quite a few things between 46 and 56. I was trying to be the definition of success but it wasn’t what my body says is success. I strive to live in harmony with that. Thanks for your video.
Dear Ana. 😊Just put aside the thoughts of weakness. As a 61-year-old, I have always considered my sensitivity to be a strength, even though it sometimes complicates life a bit compared to what others perceive as "normal". I smile just like you when you talk about the good genes and the sometimes awkward compliments. 😅 After all, we are just us and should be happy that we have the privilege of getting older. ❤
Sending you many good thoughts and many golden years ahead. 🙏
Oh, I agree so much - getting older is a priviledge! Thank you, dear friend ❤️
It doesn't take a hundred products to take care of ourselves. The best advice I can give is to hydrate inside and out. I drink a ton of water and moisturize my skin. At 63, I get many people telling me my skin looks beautiful. Not me, but my skin. Start doing this at a young age and never stop.
I appreciate your reflections of aging and life outlooks as we realize we’re aging and it’s not stopping. Now I’m 63…almost 64…..miles to go yet! I’m lucky my life is simple and pretty basic…and wonderful as a wandering hermit, observer, creative.💜🐇
Thank you for this lovely video. I am 41 too. Here is my list of insights: I do less compromise, I let go the idea of best friend, I am done with many bad habits, I’ve done enough therapy, I am grateful for my house, I am good in my job, I don’t judge myself and my ordinary life, I don’t drink anymore, I choose to don’t travel and stay in my village, I don’t fight with people (I go away), I don’t have energy for problems, I ask less from life and I am less ambitious, I enjoy nature, I try more and more to be healthy and nice to myself, I give priority to health before work, I declutter a lot, I let go, I want space for something new (again), I love to consider the value of what is staying too, I read books for the second time, I found my skincare routine, I found my style (I don’t regret my purchases anymore), I love everybody and don’t want specific friends, being free is a huge thing for me, I enjoy my free time.
Good Morning, Ana! So nice to have my morning coffee with you ☕. I've found that high sensativity is also associated with empaths. Being more in tuned with the energies around you means you are also more affected by them. I've seen throughout your videos that you are versed in self-care remedies, and they really do serve better than anything else (like medications). A hot cup of tea and a cozy sweater can address most ailments! More nature and less people has been a good adage for me as well! 🍂🌳🐇
Hi Ana - I am 54 and have to say that I am enjoying my 50s so much! Sure there are wrinkles and some joint issues, but I eat well and exercise. Just trying to grow old gracefully. I feel so much more secure and wiser now than I did in any other decade. Looking forward to everything else this wonderful life has to offer. 💕💕
Спасибо! Ценно слышать опыт от женщин старше 30-35, кажется, как будто в современных медиа очень этого не хватает. И очень ценно читать комментарии тех, кто еще старше. Мне 28, кажется только пару лет как возраст начал для меня существовать как заметная категория. Вся культурная шелуха про то, какие мы старые станем в 30, кажется дикостью.
Про высокую чувствительность много думаю в контексте нейроотличий, и то, что с возрастом становится выраженнее несколько расстраивает. С другой стороны, с возрастом мы учимся уважать свои особенности, так что почесу бы и нет.
hello Ana. I am 53 this year. What i have learned so far about getting older has allowed me to give up ideas, clothing, certificates and previous versions of my self that i thought at one time were so encompassing and absolute. I did martial arts for fifteen years, twenty years ago. I lived and breathed it. This year i decided to give away my gei, destroy my certificates and let go of that part of myself. Yes, getting older forces us to say goodbye to earlier versions of ourselves. I have had to really restrict myself to not buy the latest anti aging skin care. I have realized that what ever cream or lotion i put on my face, the passage of years will still be there.
Ana - thank you for discussing such important issues on your videos - not just in this videos but many others also. I so enjoy your thoughtful discussions that examine what matters in life. It is so difficult to find this on You Tube. Other creators just give “life hacks” - which can be interesting (I liked you beauty hacks), but these other creators don’t go very deep and they present their content as if they know all the answers. I appreciate you and your channel!
Thank you for your kind words ❤️
You are beautiful
Very interesting presentation. I am 70 years old and I feel very happy and grateful. I am full of vitality and energy. I feel beautiful . I don't regret any moment of my life. I think age is a number. Castor oil is my best companion for all the benefits it provide. Thank you for sharing your thoughts .
Age is just a number for sure! I love castor oil too and use it for my hair from time to time. Sending love, dear Maria ❤️
My dear Ana. Congratulations 🎉
" age cannot be an excuse. "
love your spirit 😊
I’m back yes ❤
I am very sensitive too. Feel everything. More and more each year.
I’m now 32 in this life, in this body ☺️
I like getting older because I can just be myself and feel less I have to do whatever other people do ☺️⭐️
I like simplicity too❤ Its beautiful.
I love you so much my friend.
🥰⭐️
And you are such a beautiful soul!
In the european subsidy system for farmers you are considered a "young farmer" till the age of 40 and therefore get extra help to start your business. It probably depends a lot what's considered old or young ;)
What a thought provoking video. As someone who is a few years older than you, I have my own perspective on the process of moving through the years with gratitude, grace, humility, understanding, and joy. Each age has its "good points" and its "more challenging points". We move through life, make mistakes (sometime really dumb mistakes, which we have difficulty letting go of) and become - hopefully - wiser with each passing year.
Spoiler Alert: You are not "old" Ana. You are a gifted, creative, thoughtful, strong, courageous, and adaptive individual, who is doing the best she can, each and every day.
Sure, there are physical things that I could once accomplish, that now are a bit more challenging. Yet, with the proper attitude, and tools, and time, and creativity, I can and do just about everything I want to do. Each year of my life has helped me become a better person; physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. At this point in my life journey I find great value in simplicity, and great joy in the everyday activities that help me remain strong and healthy. Many years ago I began making food choices that, have gotten more and more specific over the years. These choices have assisted me in maintaining my overall health, for which I am thankful.
I urge you to allow yourself to appreciate who you are and what you offer to the world; not only the CZcams universe, but those with whom you interact on a daily basis. All the best to you and Brian, as you continue to discover who you are and how you desire to live your individual and collective life. Peace & Blessings.
Thank you for sharing your insightful perspective, dear Willowbei. As always, very inspiring!
As a posture and strength coach, I couldn’t agree more that strength, mobility, and coordination are all equally important! If you have any hypermobility (just guessing based on some of the things you mentioned) using weights and other props such as the wall, or stepping on rocks/ nonflat surfaces, etc. for proprioceptive feedback (to help feel where your joints are in space) can be really helpful in stabilizing your joints. There is more and more research to show this helps with anxiety too, because folks with chronic joint instability have a high co-occurrence of anxiety (the body senses this instability and responds with a vague sense of overwhelm). Anyhow, I thought you might find that interesting, and it could potentially help strengthen and support your knee!
Thank you for this important information, Mandy❤️ It's helpful!
Since I follow your YT channel, I always have to say "paka-paka" at the end, at the same time as you ☺💓 send you positive vibes 🙂
Aww, it's so sweet! 🥰
Happy Birthday Ana.🎉💛🌻🌿
I believe that being Highly Sensitive is a Superpower!
It's so nice to see you relaxed, at peace and happy in your new home! Let your Tbilisi journey bring you many wonderful days!
I turned 31 two weeks ago (Ana, if I'm not wrong, you're also an Aquarius?) and although I look my age, I feel much older. I've had many things happen in the past four years, including having COVID twice and losing work to AI, which has all aged me mentally. Sadly, I feel worn out, slightly hopeless, and uninterested in the future. I've been always interested in progress and consider myself a tech enthusiast. Still, all these rapid post-pandemic technological advances, the toxicity of social media, economic uncertainty, and wars make me feel like we entered a dystopian era. I don't see things getting better and I wish I could return to the past.
Capricorn.
Dear Ana. First of all happy belated birthday 🎉. I wish you all the best and most important health. I loved this topic. No.1 is a topic I totally relate. I'm 48 and I get more sensitive the older I get. The worst part for me is that I easily absorb negative energies from other people. I don't know how to avoid this. It drives me crazy. Regarding beauty products I don't use a lot, no specific anti-age products, but I really like hyaluronic acid. I need to work on my face relaxation though, especially on my forehead 😉. I'm starting to get a few grey hair now, but I'm healthy, which is more important than the rest 🙏😊 Take care.
Thank you so much, Anita ❤️ Health is the most important - I agree! It's also the best investment. Sending love, my friend 🌸
Please share your facial self care routine
Dear Ana, great video again! Thank you! I think every age has its particular aestetics, like every age has its potentials and challenges. We are free to find out. That is just the oposite of fullfilling norms and convetions. Beauty can be found everywhere.
I love your insights. You have such interesting thoughts that I can relate to. I am 65 next month & am thankful every morning for waking up & feeling good ❤ Health is your Wealth. Have a lovely week ahead ❤
Thank you, Ana!
As 56 year old guy I can agree with getting older I all ways had anxiety problems but in the last few years I have noticed they have been getting worse I cant drink coffee any more and body pains often its like a wall one day your ok then wham its hear getting older is not fun but its a fact of life great vid thank you
I loved this video 🥰
Great video Ana
I am 60 years old and juat developed a big pimple on the end of my nose. It happens. You just have to laugh about stuff like that.
A wonderful video, dear Ana❤️.
Thank you for being honest and sharing in this video
thanks for your videos Ana, love from kazakhstan
Ana, you are beautiful and radiant in your conduct and appearance ❤your sensitivity is great awareness of life. You’re truly inspiring! congratulations on 41 years young!🎉
Thank you so much, Ashlynn ❤️
Dear Ana,
Hvala na divnom videu.
Zaista je glupo kako je u društvu izražen kult mladosti.Naravno da je mladost lepa sama po sebi ali godine donose ipak iskustvo.
Ni ja nisam pristalica estetskih operacija lica.Stvarno mi je smešno videti zategnuto lice a ruke puno staračkih pega i vrat pun bora.Ne možemo prevariti prirodu.
Meni je važnije da sam zdrava ali nažalost imam osteroartritis pa mi to malo umanjuje kvalitet života.
Biti mlad duhom to je moja deviza.❤❤❤❤
Thank you, dear Nena ❤️
I like this type of chat! I am much much older and to be honest after I turned 40 I stoped being preoccupied by my looks. Unfortunately. Once I turned 54 every day for me has been a gift but I have now no energy to recover the damage produced by neglect and my health is deteriorating while it could be a lot better if I payed more attention. I didn’t understood the tape use for facial care but I am using tape sometimes to reduce stress in my wrists. Thank you for the chat! It was delightful! May God grant you a healthy life!
So glad you brought us this content. I will be 50 this year. I am trying to embrace the next phase and working hard on a simpler life and am trying to nourish myself physically as well as mentally. I felt lonely dwelling on aging now more content and positive listening to your encouraging words!
I am now not giving into my arthritic joints and tackling my health proactively. Thank you Ana x
I have high sensitivity to noise, light, migraines during storms, insomnia and hyperactivity during full moon, etc and a pretty crappy immune system but I don’t see it as a disability or anything like that, I believe I’m like that to compensate for other physical issues (like being short sighted). I used to have a heightened sense of smell (which I did see as a problem) but due to a certain virus I lost it almost fully and seemingly forever and now I miss it.
The high sensitivity shouldn’t bother you, it’s adaptation, and I’ve never heard anyone saying that people who are like that are mentally behind in development or challenged, the opposite actually. Or maybe I misunderstood what you said.
Your videos are the most comforting thing, such a break from the superficiality of most of social media
I'm so glad you enjoy my videos ❤️ Thank you for being here!
Interesting, also in reading other comments.
Sometimes, I think it really is the luck of the draw. I recently turned 59 and don't really feel old, except how come I have a daughter turning 40 next month?! And 6 grandchildren between 0-15... But that may also be because I have my mom (82) and I had my grandmother until 2017 (she was 101) and they have always been youthful and up-to-date in their world views and we are a close, female-dominated family. Personally I have noticed most difference since menopause; I was happy to allow my hair to go grey by the time I was 49 and now I notice how I am not seen by people in a superficial manner. Those who bother to actually hold a conversation with me are frequently visibly surprised that I am a "real" person with intelligent opinions and interests on a deeper level (especially when they see me knitting - is that my granny-disguise?!) - I guess it's others' loss if they don't bother to find out! While society doesn't seem to consider women old over 30 or 40 here in central Europe, I think trying to do/have it all is very stressful for many women and these days I tend to sit back and think they will find out for themselves what matters as they, too, age. My experience is that "myself" has crystallised out more as I've aged, and while yes, I have definitely become more sensitive, that is perhaps also partly accepting what I may previously simply not have recognised in myself! I'm sorry you have had so many negative experiences in your life, so many health issues and goodbyes, but perhaps it has led you to crystallise earlier than some other people - and I think that is a huge positive!!
Thank you for sharing your insights, my friend 🌷
I loved how you peppered in the shots of you making a little hot drink and snack between scenes. Thanks for sharing your insights as a 41-year-old. From a woman who just entered our 59th year in December.
All true imo.
I've been a subscriber of yours since the beginning of your channel, and I just wanted to let you know how much I look forward to your videos each week. I always find so much inspiration from them, and as a person in their 50's, who's embarking on a new career tomorrow, I very much enjoyed this one! 🤗
It's so sweet of you to say this, Michael.Thank you! Wishing you all the best on your new career path 🤗
Hi, Ana! Thank you for sharing these insights and beauty tips. I'm HSP too, recently I've been reading the book "The Highly Sensitive Person: How to Thrive When the World Overwhelms You" by Elaine Aron. This book helps me understand my emotions and sensitivity better. I recommend you to read it, maybe it'll help you too! 🥰
Love your videos ❤️✨
Thank you for the book suggestion, my friend! ❤️
Ana, this video is so beautiful and so real, you are such a kind, insightful person. My sister who died in 2018 and was a nurse for 50 years always said to me, Better old than dead. Have a wonderful week!
Thank you, Marcia ❤️
I resonate with your observations 🌼 thank you for sharing. You may enjoy The Emerald Podcast, esp the recent episodes on a mythopoetic perspective on HSP or intuitives. I wish you all the best 😊
Thank you for the suggestion, my friend ❤️
hey Ana, i love it, how you talk about ageing with such an ease ❤ more of it please, if you feel like that :) because ageing is so much more than face lifting etc. :D i am 40, and with this age came so much more freedom for me....mentally. i don´t have to be a nice naive girl anymore .... i just can be myself. and i really love this age. thank you for the chat 🥰❤
Hey Zuzan❤️ Oh, how much I can relate to your insight about mental freedom!
You look absolutely gorgeous inside and outside. I am so sorry you left Serbia, because I think we need more nice people in our country.
I am 47, and I think I look exactly right for my age. I am grateful that my health is still good and I don’t need any medication, only thing that irritates me about my age that I gained some unwanted body fat and excess kilos, that are very hard to lose at this age .
Feeling older is something I relate to! I'm 70 and want to maintain the best health possible. In answer to my question about adequate, effective exercise, my doctor gave me some good advice. He said to imagine what I'd like to do when I'm in my 90's and work towards making that possible. Love that. Funny, when I was 40 I realized I could have appreciated my 30 year old body more and then felt similarly when I entered my 50s. etc. So, now I treasure whatever age I am and hope to enjoy many more years. Also, I looked for the video you've linked us to here because I wanted to try the calendula cream you had mentioned. I couldn't find it so ordered some anyway. I'll be happy to view the video again, though, so thank you for the link! Happy belated birthday! I hope the year brings a lot of joy and peace.
The advice from your doctor is great! I will follow it too 😊Thank you for your kind words, dear Marilyn ❤️
I love this video Ana, ageing is a new fear of mine, and it's refreshing to see one of my favourite youtubers talking about it! And I love your top!! Is this the same pattern as the one with the earthy tones? I'd love to make them. Do you have the pattern up somewhere?
Hi I am in my late 50. I am fortunate that I do not take any medications. I am healthy. I can stilltouch my toes and sit on the floor with my legs crossed. I feel blessed.
Dear Ana, Me myself is in the process of discovery about my neurodivergent side. Being HSP all my life, I was diagnosticated this month with 'giftedness'. I'm 32 now and all the sings and stories from my youth till now make it a rock steady assumption. I beagan to follow you like a year or two ago because of your insinghts in life, your creativity and your vulnerability. The HSP makes my life richer. But there are several 'traps' and I really longed to know it while I was younger. In podcasts, articles and books about HSP they almost never talk about that it is one of the major characteristics of a gifted person. Lots of love. Thank for your content.
Dear Elsi, thank you for sharing your insight! I'm interested to reasearch this connection between high sensitivity and giftedness. Sending love ❤️
Im 67 with grey hair and no age related wrinkles. I have been told if I would dye my hair I would look much younger. Im not chasing youth ,I am working with be as healthy as I can be. All of this is based on my attitude that I don't care what society says .I am living my life for me with great appreciation as not many live to be 67 not on any medication and healthy.
Happy belated birthday Ana. I just turned 57 but people think I'm about 40, when I'm clean shaven they think I'm even younger. Like you, I do feel flattered yet a little awkward when people say that I look great for my age. I can't take all the credit. I do eat right, exercise, reduce stress and focus on staying optimistic but part of it is genetics. Overall I feel good but there are times that I feel extremely tired. I didn't start experiencing fatigue like this until around my early 50's. But I won't complain. It's just part of the aging process for many of us.
Thank you, dear William 🌷I can relate to experiencing fatigue too.
You are so lovely.

I loved this video 💜
We are the exact same age! I think you are beautiful, you look like Audrey Hepburn!
Aww, it's cool to know that we're the same age! ❤️
Awww, we're the same age. Only a month apart 😉☺️.
Yay, this is cool to know! ❤️
Well giving that no one wants to think about the world after so we do have a desire to draw the whole puzzle of life here in this world .
And that's also why us humans dont wish to talk about ageing .
But if you ever happen to consider and cognizance of another world after this , then in that case we may think that the end of this puzzle will be finish in the other side and there for the concept of ageing should be placed in middle of the puzzle not on the end of it .
And i think , cashing any time of the life from childhood to the ageing is sheerly majestic .

I get told I look much younger than I am a lot too, and it especially is frustrating at work, because it means that people don't think I look old enough to have earned the expertise that I have. I get this a lot from men. It is harder to get my ideas taken seriously because they don't think I could have the years of education and experience that I have. And I didn't rush through school or anything; I earned my expertise at about the average pace of anyone completing similar work. I'm not "young" to be at the place that I am at, and I want to be taken as seriously as a man would be at this point. I think sexism is a big component of this problem.
My belief about high sensitivity is that it's important for the specy evolution otherwise it would have disapeared with evolution. So it's not a weakness it's a needed power. It's sad we can be considered as weak as we are usefull, but's it's a way not to listen to what we experience and means something. We are vital for humanity as we are like watchers we see or ear things first and can warn the others... Also we are first in feeling bad with modern life, being stress with noise, geting gluten intolerance, having migraines with magnetic waves... thing that are bad for everyone but they would need more of it to see the negative impact on them, in fact we protect them as our bodies shows imediatly what's wrong for human being but before the bodies of ordinary people are too impacted.... we were the first sick with little amounts of poisonous plants, we also were the first earing the saber tooth tigers at night... we are like fuses for others, sadly most people prefer to try not to listen to us saying we are weak and needy instead of changing things and the whole humanity is runing into a wall fast speed
This makes so much sense, Anne-Cecile!
You look fantastic, 40 is the new 28 I suppose 😊❤!
Hypersensitivity is actually common in autistic people as well as in people with (c)PTSD. I have PTSD and CPTSD combined the consequence of which is 24/7 hypervigilance, the curse of being able to scan the room and know/feel what others feel before they even say a word, 24/7 anxiety, very severe migraines, hyperosmia ( synthetic fragrances are unbearable to me), all types of sensory hypersensitivity to a greater or lesser degree, and, at times, suicidal thoughts when I'm overwhelmed with pain. At 48 I have realized that most of my symptoms, including IBS, are very closely connected to my hormonal status (migraines in particular) but mostly to anxiety. Anxiety is, in my view, the source of all the problems; it destroys a person gradually, deregulates adrenals, thyroid, sex hormones, and the entire nervous system. Children brough up in a dysfunctional family system are robbed of the optimal neurological development. Their amygdala is much bigger and more active and the connection between amygdala and prefrontal cortex is either broken or not as strong as in healthy individuals. Parents are usually not aware of how much is in their power and that it is up to them what the next generation will be like. Generational trauma is the root of all evil, not money.
If I feel relatively safe and am able to be calm for a day or two, my body reacts accordingly. I also realised that my symptoms were 80% less severe when I left this god forsaken country of mine (Poland) for the UK where I spent a few years. I had only 2 episodes of migraine in a few years, I could eat anything without constantly vomitting, whereas in Poland I have a migraine on a monthly basis for 3 to 6 days and it's not getting any better in premenopause period. My never ending anxiety and fear of people have been standing in my way for far too long so I decided to do whatever is in my power to break free from this prison-like existence and when my son graduates high school next year I'm leaving, hopefully to never ever come back.
I wish you peace and sense of security. You will be able to do anything once you're feeling safe and at home ❤.
Thank you for sharing your very insightful experience, dear friend. I'm wishing your plans for neext year come true! ❤️
@@anagoldberg ❤thank you, Ana. I wish you all the best, too ❤
Dear Ana, I'm 68 and can vouch for everything you say about getting older, especially in regard to being HSP. Maybe it's because we become more inward focused and pay more attention to our reactions rather than our actions. There could of course also be physical causes. You did not mention short term memory lapses, or what I call my 'sieve brain.' Maybe yours is in better condition than mine! 😊 Best wishes to you and Brian. 🌷❤🌹
Thank you, dear Rowanne 🤗 I agree, with years we tend to turn more inwards.
Настя, привет! Прекрасно выглядишь. Мне кажется, даже лучше, чем когда мы с тобой познакомились ещё в России. Значит, жизнь наладилась, очень рада за тебя. А ещё хочу сказать, что у тебя прекрасные брови. Я сейчас в свои почти 36 поняла, что люблю себя такой, какая я есть. Так что разрешила себе "отпустить свои брежневки", хожу красивая 😅. А волосы ты красишь? И про артрит, в свое время у очень уважаемых людей слышала про терапию красным светом. Можешь изучить вопрос, и тогда уже можно смело брать ипотеку до 150 лет 😂
Лена, привет! Спасибо за приятные комплименты ❤️ Брови - это прекрасно, так что я солидарничаю с твоими брежневками 😊 Волосы крашу, ага. Одно время ходила с седыми, но потом решила вернуться к цвету. Я начала седеть в 15 лет, так что сейчас уже практически даже не "соль с перцем", а больше "соль". Думаю, как только совсем побелею, то перестану красить. Спасибо за рекомендацию по красному свету, буду изучать!
@@anagoldberg Про волосы - недавно как раз видела такую красивую "старую перечницу". У меня пока не так много седых, но растут очень быстро. Так что красить в свой темный потом будет не вариант. Думаю, что либо буду ходить натуральной, или пробовать с элементами блонда, это называется типа "растягивание", как мелирование.
@@mysli_vsluh Мне кажется, тебе пойдет с элементами блонда! Ну и натюрель тоже. Есть много типов седых волос и они все смотрятся по-разному. Я еще рассматриваю вариант кардинального яркого оттенка (если совсем уж переклинит с годами)))
Yes Ana, I am 68 years old and I notice I have aged some much in the last ten years but I have accepted that’s life, maybe I should removed all the mirrors in my house I heard someone did🤪
Hi Ana thank you for this video i don’t know anything about the tape but I’m presuming it’s a natural way for the face I must look in to this as I like natural ways as much as possible I feel I have not taken true care off myself as I have put others first all the time but now I am aware of taking some care of myself for a change I’ve noticed recently my my physical strength is very weak so I’m looking for a way to help strengthen muscle and regain some strength back thank so much for your video
Hi Margaret, I can 100% recommend taping, just make sure to find good taping schemes. They can also alleviate muscle/joint pain if needed.
@@anagoldberg hi Ana it sounds very interesting can you recommend a reputable seller as I haven’t a clue who to buy from many thanks
@@margarettownsley9500 I can't recommend a brand, as I bought the tape that was available at the nearby pharmacy. They all are very affordable and last long.
@@anagoldberg thank you Ana I will try and do some research on google hopefully find a decent one 🌻
Can you explain the taping more, for example how long do you leave it on? Or can you recommend a book or video? I'd like to learn! 😊
I turn 40 this year, don't really have conclusions about it yet. But I also choose to not modify my face to make it look younger. I am also curious how much grey hair I have. I used to have bright colors at my head for the last 2 years or so. But here in Spain it is useless because sun, sea air and sea water ruin colors very quickly. So now Igrow it back in my own color and I am very curious. I love grey hair somehow:)
I firmly believe, after suffering migraines for 35 years, that they are made worse by a low, overcast weather and barometric pressure fluctuations, no doubt in my mind whatsoever. Genetics predisposes many people to having migraines. Nothing helped me until Imitrex, or Sumatriptan, came on the market. I finally found a doctor who believed me, and was willing to try it, and I couldn't believe it when it actually worked. I don't think we are freaks, "HSP", or any other trendy term. I just think many of us have genetics and brain chemistry that causes migraines and we don't understand it all, yet. Be well and care for yourself.
😊😊
41 isn’t older , who, or what is making think that way , your still young, Please 🙏
Lovely video Ana, and happy birthday! I definitely think HSP are more sensitive to EMFs, like the solar flares you mentioned. There is definitely research into this and it is thought mutations in proteins that control voltage-gated calcium channel (VGCC) activation could be one driver. There really needs to be more research. This predisposes individuals to all sorts of neuropsychiatric symptoms. PMC3780531; PMID 26300312. I agree mobility/posture vital, but I have found at 62, strength training and increasing my protein intake has had a huge postive impact on my health and well being. I now more consciously strive for adequate protein (more like 20-25% protein rather than 15%) and use seitan, plant based protein powder, soy products to do this. As for for looking young, I dont really care about that, I would rather be strong. I dont want to be frail as I go into my 70s and 80s as it is huge downside for healthy aging. But I also dont want to be inflexible either, so need to do well rounded exercise as you suggest. Hugs to you and Brian!
Wow, thank you fot this insight, Claire! So interesting. Hugs to you too ❤️
HSP may have extra/ supra sensory issues quite possibly related to high functioning autism . Some claim this neurodiversity is actually a super power! Thanks for your take on minimalism. Happy birthday 🎉!
You have a beautiful face. Do you wear any makeup? I find the older i get the less makeup i use. Most women I know won't leave the house without it including myself. It is such a habit that I feel naked if i don't.
I wear mascara sometimes and lipstick, but nothing else.
Hi Ana I know you are vegan and that should help with the health care threats you had and the arthritis. It also makes us look younger😉 I am on wholefood plantbased diet difference to vegan being that we don't use oil (as it clogs up arteries) You might be interested in looking into it. I studied it and it makes sense. The job side tes a lot of employers want people they can form but on that note I am 17 years older then you and started a new job last October. Because I am eholefoodplsntbased I had no struggles with menopause simply because by eating the way I leave the hormones out that come from meat and dairy and mess with our own. What drives me most nuts is that niw being near 60ties Doctors don't treat me like any individual but like an old person who should have many health issues as common in my age group. I don't have any of them because of the way I eat😉 I alo noticed that I am a lot calmer about what lives throws at us. Maybe because experience taught me that somehow we get through it. Ah I wish we could sit down with a cup of tea and talk about life. Take care Ana. Love from Scotland💗💕
Weird question, do you sweeten your tea?
Nope, I don't 😊
I thought you were 22, I'm also sensitive from birth..
You look 25
You look 31!!!!! :)
You must be kidding ,girl..41? That is like the new 25! Stop talking about age...maybe start again around your 80's
Well you can’t generalise. Because you are a 40-something that has a body of a 20-something. Most women don’t look like you do.
❤
