Over 40 & Single? How To Exude Confidence

By Coach Ronnie Ann Ryan. Posted on Jul 24th 2012.

Do you often feel invisible? You may be suffering from Invisible Woman Syndrome.

And, here are five places where you might feel invisible: (1) At the grocery store check-out, when the clerk doesn't look you in the eye; (2) Waiting in line when someone cuts right in front of you; (3) When you have your hand up to hail a cab and get passed by; (4) At a singles dance when you don't get asked to dance; (5) With online dating sites where you hardly get contacted.

As we age, we all go through changes, but that doesn't mean you will automatically become invisible. Now, I'm not going to tell you to diet, go to the gym or spend a lot of money on clothes. What I do want to talk about is your self-esteem. Because it's loss is truly what makes you invisible. 3 Simple Steps To Improve Your Self-Confidence

When you don't feel good about yourself, and you don't do much to combat this sinking feeling, the issue can strengthen and drag you down. You risk becoming numb to the excitement of life and all it has to offer. So what's a woman over 40 to do? You should fight back!

When you are connected to your feminine charm, you are in touch with your life force. When you make the most of who you are, you feel good about yourself. When you present your best self to the world, just as you are right now, you will be noticed for your confidence and have more allure and charisma.

Men are highly attracted to confident women just as women are attracted to confident men. Confident women dress up, wear colors that bring out their features, stand straight and maintain good posture. You might wear last year's pants and jacket, but dress it up with this year's accessories. You are, now, in touch with the look to start feeling good.

Everything you ever were still resides within you, so bring back the qualities and feelings that got you noticed earlier in life. Feel young and vibrant again. This is more about your attitude than anything else that happens with age. When you flirt with men, you interact in a playful, fun and engaging way using your feminine energies. It will get you noticed!
