Home Actress Maria Bello HD Instagram Photos and Wallpapers February 2024 Maria Bello Instagram - I took the PAUSE with the hope that I could find a more conscious way forward into the second half of my life. It is not lost on me how lucky I am that I had the opportunity to move to Paris as my partner @dominiquecrenn started a restaurant @goldenpoppy. I didn’t have much acting work so I was focusing on writing. But you take yourself with you wherever you go. As beautiful as Paris is, I found myself bereft at my changing mind and body at the beginning of my PAUSE. I felt static and confused and that was only intensified by my changing hormones and night sweats. Some days the only thing that could get me out of my funk was “flaneusing”. A Flaneur in France was historically a man who walked the city. The feminist word for a Flaneur is Flâneuse. I would find a destination, an hour or two from our house, and Flâneuse(or slowly walk) my way there. I would pause at a cafe to have coffee or stop at music being played on a bridge. It worked almost every time. It’s important to get out of ourselves wherever we are. Whether that’s taking time to Flâneuse around our neighborhood, our mall or a city. It gave me time to reflect on how I defined my life and how I would redefine it in the second half. Slowly, I began to recreate my life...#mariasmenopause #secondhalfoflife #menopause #thePAUSE

Maria Bello Instagram – Task #1 of Jung’s 7 tasks of mid-life – Facing the reality of aging and dying. I’m on a lovely vacation with my family. I feel grounded and free here. AND YET.. my father fell last night in the senior home he is now living in and was sent to the hospital. My mother was, as always, by his side. But she couldn’t sleep with him in the hospital bed because she had to have some tests done this morning at 6am. She has cancer and has been going through treatment for a few months. I’m sure as always she will be fine. She’s a tough cookie. They also sold their house that they lived in for 60 years. AND YET… now in the second half of my life, I see, like ALL of us – our parents and people we care about getting closer to death. It’s inevitable. And I’m still enjoying it here on our vacation. I know I can’t stop them from aging. I know I can’t stop them from dying. In my PAUSE, I learned to accept this fact. It is, and was, bizarrely freeing. Try it. You’re brave enough to go there. Take your ten minutes everyday as you PAUSE and face the reality of this. There is a gift waiting for you as you move through that point called Mid-Life and get to the other side.
Maria Bello Instagram – The renowned psychiatrist and artist, Carl Jung, helped me consciously enter the PAUSE with his theory of the 7 tasks for crossing over to the second half of life. His Red Book that @patriciaarquette bought me 20 years ago is still on my coffee table. I knew a little about Jung. I even had a Jungian therapist at one point for a few years. So when I was at my lowest – in the middle of my menopause before i took the conscious PAUSE – where I could barely smile or look at myself in a mirror – I discovered something of his that changed my whole experience. Jung had a theory about the second half of life. He ascertained that mid-life was just as important a transition as birth and death – a crossing over. But no one was talking about it. (And still aren’t). He saw in his clients a disappointment, disillusionment and depression for a few years when they were between the first half of life and the second half. So Jung came up with 7 tasks that people need to face in midlife to cross over like a badass as they move through the transition into the second half of life. Are you in the midst of crossing over? Let’s talk about it. If you’re interested in buying a copy of The Red Book or any of Jung’s books, please consider shopping from an indie bookshop like I do w/ @harrietts_bookshop #mariasmenopause #midlifemidwife #midlifemidwives
