Are you thirtyphobic? Yes, you read that right. It is a fear of turning 30 or reaching the age of 30. Well, thirtyphobic is just a word I invented (peace) Anyway let's get serious. Many people especially girls are quite hesitant to embrace being 30. This is because 30 is considered as the first stage in aging according to some old notion. Well I think most of the people I know are afraid of getting old. The thousand anti-aging products and articles on how to delay aging are some of the few evidences that most people have fear in turning 30.
While there are people who don't make it a big deal, but you'll be surprise that others do. As for me, I am not afraid of it, it's part of our life and we have to accept the fact that we are going to get old, die and turn into ash. Instead of putting on anti aging creams on your face and body, you should just embrace it and be happy with yourself. According to Dailymail UK "a study carried out by Danish researchers, published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, found that rather than passing through the skin the liposomes break into pieces almost as soon as they make contact." In short, anti aging creams are not effective.
There's no problem in making yourself look good to at least hid the signs of aging but you must also focus your attention to some areas such as:
- Keeping a healthy lifestyle - lessen the eating of junk foods, fastfoods and the likes. You know what they do to your body - THEY MAKE YOU LOOK OLDER FAST.
- Remain positive and get rid of negative thoughts - If you want to avoid having stripes (wrinkles) on your face, stop stressing yourself out with unnecessary thoughts.
- Develop a group of friends that you can laugh with - make sure they don't bring you headaches and problems or else they will add more stress to your life, hence making you look older.
- Pray - Always talk to God. Maintain a good relationship with Him and you know you'll be fine even you get older. He will be your strength in times of fear and problems.
Be Happy - it's the best anti aging treatment. :)
