Which mindset are you? 🤔 I’ve always had a g $Which mindset are you? 🤔 I’ve always had a growth mindset, but four years ago, my life fell apart, and I felt completely stuck. I thought I had no way out and even doubted my own worth. I was convinced I couldn’t turn things around.😫 But you know what? The old me was still in there 😍, and I found a way out. I followed my dreams persistently and here I am now living my kinda life turning 51! Did you know that neuroscience supports that you can learn new things and change your way of thinking at any age? 🧠 Your brain can rewire and grow with effort, learning, and persistence, no matter how old you are! A growth mindset believes in this potential that with hard work and dedication, you can change, evolve, and reach your goals at any point in life. 💪 (Okay, I know I’m not going to be an astronaut :rocket: at this age, but you get the point…) A fixed mindset? It assumes things are set in stone and there is nothing you can do to change it. We all get those feelings sometimes. But trust me, you’re never too old to grow and chase your dreams. 🌟 So, which mindset are you choosing today? ⬇️ Remember, not all days are equal it can be even both on the same day 😂 \#GrowthMindset #Neuroplasticity #50AndThriving #BrainPower #MidlifeTransformation #NeverTooLate #AgelessMindset$

Autumn colors in springtime 💛

Yes, this was shot last spring, not autumn, by @bisher_sawan . It was freezing cold 🥶 (around 0°C), but we managed to get some color-pop shots as planned.

Sometimes, just a gentle twist to look back is all it takes to capture a unique angle. In this case, we wanted to highlight the back and shoulders of this dress. 👌

Do you miss summer already or are you looking forward to winter? 🤩👇

Pro tip: Always tilt your shoulders just a little 🥰 it keeps them from being completely level and adds extra character to the photo. 📸

Is this what you call positive thinking? 😅 Hot

Is this what you call positive thinking? 😅

Hot flushes—every menopausal woman’s not-so-best friend! It’s such a common symptom, and for a while, it felt like my body was a constant furnace. I was waking up to a practically soaked bed, even started sleeping on a towel! 😳

After trying different things, I found something that really helped me: swapping my morning coffee cow’s milk for a soy drink. 🌱 Soy contains natural phytoestrogens that can help balance hormones, which made a huge difference for me!

Other foods that contain natural oestrogens include:
🥦 Broccoli
🌱 Flaxseeds
🍲 Tofu
🍛 Lentils
🥣 Chickpeas

💡 However, a word of caution: Phytoestrogens aren’t for everyone. If you have a history of breast cancer or other hormone-sensitive conditions, it’s important to consult with a doctor before making dietary changes. Everyone’s body responds differently, so always seek professional advice!

🔥 How bad have your hot flushes been, and what’s worked for you to find relief? Let’s talk about it in the comments! 👇

I wish I had known this sooner... 🤯

Why does it always seem like we need to hit rock bottom before we can rise to the top? ⬇️➡️⬆️ Or is it always like that? For me, it feels like it is. Interestingly, neuroscience supports this! 🧠

Neuroscience suggests that when we reach our lowest points, our brains actually become more open to change. 🧠 It’s in these moments that our brain creates new pathways, helping us shift our perspective and adopt new mindsets more easily. This process of neuroplasticity is what allows us to adapt and rebuild, often stronger than before. 🔄💪

When I was at my lowest, I realized there had to be a way to a better life. So, I took a random shot 🎯 and decided to take matters into my own hands to find a way out of my depression.

I remember @trudestokke giving a speech and saying, ‘If you feel stuck and need direction, start with this book.’ The book was _The Four Agreements_ by Don Miguel Ruiz, and it made me cry 😢. It helped me realize I had everything upside down. Since then, I’ve kept reading—analyzing my thoughts, finding solutions (no wonder my company is called @ongelmatratkee, roughly translated to ‘Problems Solved’ 🛠️😂).

I’ve read so much about the human mind that I eventually began studying it further 📚. Understanding the brain doesn’t take away the feelings, but it helps explain them. It gives perspective and helps navigate through them.

So, be curious. 🌱 Question the status quo. If something feels hopeless and you’re stuck, you might just be looking at it from the wrong angle 🔄. And, read books—lots of them. 📚💡

And thank you Trude 💖 For giving the hint that sparked my journey 🤗

Pose on the wall 📸

When it comes to posing, a simple wall has so many options. You can use your hands and legs in so many different ways...

Here are a few tips to help you nail your next shot:

1️⃣ One Hand Up Against the Wall: This move gives you that strong, confident vibe. Just place one hand on the wall, lean in, and let the magic happen!
2️⃣ Both Hands Up: Go bold with both hands against the wall, lean back a little, and feel the energy shift. It makes the pose so much more dynamic!
3️⃣ Mix Up Your Angles: Don’t be afraid to play with angles—pop a knee, tilt your head, or shift your hips for a more creative and interesting pose.

Remember, the wall isn’t just there for support—it’s part of the pose! 📸✨

Try these tips and tag me in your photos! I’d love to see how you 📸 "Work the wall!"🤩

Hint 💡She's been gone for 23 years already, but now that my father passed away we emptied my parents house 🏡 and some of my father's parents stuff came up.

I said instantly yes to the leather jackets. 🤩 Two men's size and one women's.

How old would you guess this is? I remember my grandparents wearing these when I was a kid so I would think somewhere from late 60's or early 70's 🤔 What do you think?

Love this no matter how old and in pristine condition 👌
