Home Actress Maria Bello HD Instagram Photos and Wallpapers February 2024 Maria Bello Instagram - Yep, this is AGING. The second photo was taken almost 30 years ago and the first one is now-ish. I hated this now-ish photo during my PAUSE and all of the photos of me with crinkled eyes, smoking lines on my lips and droopy lids. That’s all I saw—the imperfections. I would compare photos Iike these—the old me and the new me, and of course it made me feel horrible about the new me. During my PAUSE I had to dig deep to look at my own judgement and ask, “Who taught me to hate aging? And why?” Every housewife on tv was seemingly getting younger, so why was I looking older and older? And then, flaneusing around Paris one day, towards the end of my PAUSE, I came upon a Gertrude Stein exhibit. She wasn’t young or pretty in a conventional sense, yet she carried herself in the second half of life in a powerful way. Picasso painted her in this phase and so did Warhol among many because they saw what I saw when I looked at her—POWER. I thought about her face with its creases and carves and her smile that read—“I don’t give a damn,” then I looked at my own face in the mirror, I said out loud, “Own it”. Own your history and age and crinkles and power and POSSIBILITY. You’ve earned it. I said this on repeat whenever I wanted to judge my aging. And that helped get me through the PAUSE. Post your 30 years ago and you now. Own it. Tell me what you like about your new self. #midlifemidwife #secondhalfoflife

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
