Which hill is this? How big is the hill and what does this mean?
The saying actually means this ... when you reach 40; you have reached the top of the hill. You have spent the previous 39 years going up hill and now you are about to go down hill.
Now as you are reading this notice your thoughts. Do you automatically think that by going down hill life will become worse? You will be more tired, more aches and pains, memory will suffer and stress and anxiety will increase?
Well, you didn't read it right did you.
It said ... you will go down hill!
Have you ever walked up a hill? Is it harder to walk up a hill or down hill? I assume you are thinking it is easier to walk down hill, why? Because it is easier, you even have gravity on your side.
So the saying means when you reach 40, life will become easier!
If life is going to be easier once you reach 40, then a few things will happen. You will have less aches and pains; you will have more energy and less stress and anxiety.
After all, life is going to be better. The saying implies you have learnt form experience and therefore you have found better ways to deal with life's stresses.
Your pressures, stress and anxiety at work will get less ... the anxiety and stress of financed will be easier ... family and relationships will be more rewarding and fun filled.
Life will be better ... totally.
Can I ask you a personal question?
How old are you now? 40 ... 50 ... older? Or are you 30 ... 35?
If you are younger than 40 can you see life approaching as being better, having less anxiety and stress, less health problems ... or is it the opposite. Anxiety and stress levels are increasing at great knots of speed.
If you are over 40 ... is life better than I t was when you were 40. Are the anxiety and stress levels easy to deal with ... or not.
So this saying which has been around for centuries is true ... or it should be.
So if life is not getting better, what are you doing about it? Are you learning ways to reduce your anxiety and stress levels? Are you trying to be healthier?
Or are you just waiting and hoping to be okay?
If you are waiting for a miracle, keep waiting. What you should be doing is learning the many self-help ways you can combat your stress and anxiety levels. Doing day to day exercises that take only minutes to do.
You then should look forward to being better as you age ... less stress ... less anxiety... more energy ... better health ... and a longer life.
