Top 10 Things I Don't Worry About Over 50

[@selectshelley]

Try turning 70! I'm still hiking steep mountains, taking relaxing walks in the surf at sunset, still laughing and crying with friends, still dating as much as I want, still learning all kinds of things and trying new things; the list goes on. So much is in your attirude! You are a wonderful guide, Dominique! Shelley from San Diego

[@lucillekochan]

Nicely said!..I'm 70 and I don't worry about any of the 10 things you mentioned..I'm just happy to breathe each day....and never procrastinate

[@dominiquesachsetv]

Lucille Kochan Amen!

[@sherrymiles311]

62 and I feel the same. I just found you and I have watched listened to many of your videos today.

[@janicekeen2949]

It gets even better after 70.......agree with Lucille happy to be with family & friends!! However, I can’t help still worrying about my children & grandchildren in this crazy world we live in today.

[@cindie7280]

@@janicekeen2949 But sweetie, worrying won't change a thing, except maybe lighten up on the wrinkles we have. God Bless you. And leave it in God's hands.

[@tracycollins2390]

Since I've turned 50, I've found myself not letting things bother me as much: so what if I have a blemish or my hair isn't fabulous; so what if other drivers want to go faster than me; who cares if I don't win every argument (I'd rather be happy than right). All this time I chalked it up to being too tired to be so invested but, wait, could it be... MATURITY??

[@conniewitt478]

I read a quote when I turned 50 and it completely changed my perspective on aging: "Never regret growing older. It's a privilege that's been denied to many."

I got engaged to the love of my life at fifty! We will be married April 2021 ( fingers crossed Covid is controlled by then ) . I also went to Paris, Prague, Germany and Belgium in my fiftieth year and started my own skincare line( a passion project ) after deciding to leave a very stressful lifelong fashion career. I Truly believe life started for me at fifty and I am grateful for every day of life now which I may have not been so in touch with before . This was a fantastic video!

[@lisaryherd4685]

Angela Vassallo Congratulations, best wishes to you in all your life endeavors!!!

[@mariemulrooney9116]

Great video

[@mickmoo2306]

When i turned 50 I took my relationship with my Lord more serious. Working through asking lots of forgiveness and making things right with him.

[@tamiskala1745]

Loved this video! I turned 50 this year and decided to leave an 8 year relationship with my boyfriend. After years of realizing he wasn't putting as much attention & affection into us as I was, it become very lonely & my joy was gone. Your advice is inspirational & reminded me that there is so much to be thankful for and don't settle with something that doesn't make you happy. You're a doll!

[@murphy1384]

I agree with everything you said. I am hitting another milestone on Dec 31 & I can't wait to see what this next decade holds for me. Turning 70 has no fear for me & I can't wait, my 60's were incredible & full of surprises. I live in a Senior Community & we have friends who are here one day & the next day gone but I feel we are better to have known them & cherished them for the time they were here. We have learned to accept our friends for who they are & vice versa. I really enjoy your videos.....life is like a "box of chocolates" & I eat them when I went to or don't want to. Life is too short. God bless you for being you.

[@lindadrew5047]

[@andreapulver2127]

Now that I am over 50, I don't worry about being alone. When I was younger, I overstayed in relationships because I was afraid of being by myself. Every moment was filled with worry about being left. Now I am confident enough to do things by myself and enjoy my solitude. I like other people, but I'm not driven to be with them to avoid lonliness and depression.

[@suzyengland3829]

Perhaps your most inspiring video yet! Just hit 49 last month and can honestly say I have loved my 40s. I no longer worry about "saying no" to friends, co-worker, projects, invitations, etc. It has taken me a good portion of my adult years to embrace this concept but it is so freeing!! Thanks for another great message, Dominique! Blessings to you and your family.

[@shirleywhite7726]

I am 63 years old. I recently lost my second (and final) brother to suicide. I have learned that almost nothing I used to care about matters anymore. Definitely all the things on your list, but most importantly is to never let anything stand in the way of expressing your love and spending time with your loved ones. No job, housework, previous commitment, etc. is worth it. And worrying about what others think is such a waste of time! Life is finite, live it the best you can!

[@lmccauley7319]

So sorry for your loss of your brother. May God wrap his loving arms around you and bring you comfort and peace.

[@debihumphrey3734]

I cannot imagine what it feels like to lose a loved one to suicide. However, I did lose my only son when he was only 19, so I think I can at least partly understand the depth of your loss. You have learned what I think are the most important lessons from your loss. Bless you, for you will spread the love to those who need it from you. I think that's why we're put on this Earth.

[@suecone2198]

I am now in my 70's and when I turned 50 I had the same feelings you just stated. It would be so great for everyone in their 20's to know the world will not come to an end if their life isn't perfect. We all have challenges in our life. Some are good & some aren't, but in the end they make us who we are. I feel God put us all here for a reason and sometimes it takes a little longer to discover that. God bless and keep you and thanks!!🤠

I live in Australia and just stumbled on your channel while searching for something else on youtube. You are one classy lady full of encouragement and inspiration for other women, I love your honesty, your gentle yet strong manner, your self-acceptance, your heart to build others up, and I also love that you speak candidly about your faith. Thanks for the great channel, I am learning a lot and feeling very encouraged xx

[@joyap3261]

Indeed you are one classy knowledgeable lady You inspired me alot 😊

[@juliewarwick1346]

Love your channel Dominique. The 50’s are a fabulous decade. My children are older, I am no longer a people pleaser, I am retired now and loving life. We know ourselves better and absolutely right, get your compass straight. God first, then self, then others. And yes, once over menopause is great. Focusing on nutrition, exercise, balance in life. Spot on! Respecting our bodies.

[@mischelleholland1457]

I think it was divine intervention that I watched your video tonight. The past month I have been so worried and fearful about my house being repaired due to hurricane Harvey. I am 65 and a widow. I did not have flood insurance because I was told if I flooded my whole town would flood, so foolishly did not carry it. I live in Vidor, Texas where 80% of the houses received flood damage. This has been a miserable month for me, but I have finely acknowledged that my fears have made me a very negative person and not helped my situation. I am a strong, determined, educated woman. I will do whatever is necessary to restore my home. I may have to come out of retirement and go back to work, but at least I have my health and therefore have that option. Thank you for your inspiration. I have a great testimony that God has put people in my life when I need them. He put you in my path tonight.

[@jessicalt4121]

Mischelle Holland oh I’m very sorry u are going through this. You can do it and get through this a stronger and better person. I wish u well!

[@debihumphrey3734]

You have the best attitude I can imagine for someone in your situation. I know it's a year later now, so I hope that you are making it OK. Somehow I feel sure you are.

[@amelsabri469]

Hope you are satisfied with your house now. Indeed we have to be thankful to God of what we have and use what we have to help who need it; charity could be a smile; a good word; an action to help; to inspire!! Women are stronger mentally!! Because they talk freely about negative and positive emotions. They support each other; that's why we can overcome hardship with God help. Always remember God ; he holds our breath!! May God protect us from COVID 19 complications!!

[@joaroy6028]

I am 57. When I turned 50 something “freed up” in me. I called it my Jubilee year. I started writing a blog, writing poetry, doing photography, etc. I am no longer worried about my age... I love being an older, mature woman!

[@MascaratoMidnight]

I started my youtube channel in my 40's because I felt a lot of freedom too.

[@hopenoneya8161]

I'm comfortable being alone, and have reconciled to the fact I am enough, no man completes me. I am 56 yrs old and although my health isn't the greatest, my mind, heart and soul remain youthful.

[@elyssaberger5901]

Love this video! For me it happened at 40 and I was so surprised. From 40-50 was my best years ever! Now turning 54 this year, finding this video was such an awesome reminder of all the things I just don’t care about anymore, which is so freeing not to be weighed down by. Thanks for all your authentic videos. I’m not even a make up / hair person but I so enjoy watching them all! I find a lot of products I try from you and new things to experiment with... it’s always fun to watch and learn from you 🙏🏻

[@alexandracabral3611]

Hi Dominique, it is the 1st time on your KZbin page. I must say how refreshing it is to hear your list of 50 things not to worry about after 50. I am a 50 year old Divorced woman who has spent my whole life being a people pleaser. I am kind, thoughtful, loving generous and honest seldom getting any of that in return. Food played a major part in my life, my parents had a Portuguese restaurant and love food I understand what foods are good for me, yes I treat myself but never abuse food. I am proud to be a Portuguese Woman and as long as I live I will never forget my roots. When I was married I had a similar house rules with my kids. The house rules made me the most hated parent ever. I was always battling with my kids whinging and my Ex Husband under mining me. I have found since getting Divorced 3 years ago that I feel and look the best I have ever felt. I am Me, and do not care if people like me. I don't need acknowledgement as I know I am a good person. I am working on worrying less and trying not to give it too much headspace. Overall I am looking forward to this next chapter in my life. Finding True unconditional love and simply being Happy. Thank you for bringing this to my attention and making me feel much better about my choices. 🇵🇹💚🌺♒🦋❤️

[@renelrytting1811]

Loved this post! I just began graduate school, and I'm 53! It's nice to hear your validating comments and reassurance that I'm not "too old" to be starting a whole new endeavor!

[@cindygarrett6015]

Beautifully done! Getting older is actually freeing especially knowing that we are in control of NOTHING! That’s why faith is so vital. ❤️

[@janinalou6232]

You are so wise. I am 61 yrs old and you just put everything in a nut shell with your 10 things... I could identify with every point. Number 10 is hard. I am the mother of 5 and it seems their worries and fears become my worries and fears. But, I keep telling myself that it is all in "God's hands and time. I enjoy your videos. Keep them coming.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Not getting periods anymore was one of the best things ever to happen to me, I was one of those unfortunate women who suffered horribly from them and had to take two days off from work out of every 26. So, I never accumulated any vacation! No more worrying about “supplies”, accidents, etc. - what wonderful freedom.

[@mariatrotter6889]

I love this chat. I am in my mid 50's and agree with everything you have said. I love myself for who I am and make no excuses. I do not need anyone's approval or drama. My family and spiritual life are number one. I'm confident in my own skin and choices. I love this age. Staying healthy. Eat to live too. thank you Dominique.

I have learned my cancer has made me a stronger person. It is something I have. it doesn't have me!! 💚

[@debihumphrey3734]

I, too, have recently realized that some very deep hurts and hardships I went through early in life have had the hidden blessing of helping me to become a much stronger person. It's wonderful to realize that some very good things really can come from some very bad things. It's not just a cliche after all. Best wishes and good health to you.

[@lunababy7504]

Put God first and all the things will fall in its place.

[@lindsaybezet3517]

Great advice, Dominique, but I say with respect that you need to be cautious speaking your mind, like you suggested. You can really damage some relationships that may be important in your life. Relationships come with boundaries and respect, and sometimes holding your tongue when you really want to express your opinion can save a relationship from being damaged. As Joyce Meyer says, where you don't have a responsibility, you don't have to have an opinion. Something to think about. God bless 🙂

[@Justheavenlyflowers]

I’m over 50 and I now don’t hold onto bad relationships! Iv always thought that if I tried harder it would be better, it’s not!

[@carolefreeman2544]

That was Brilliant! At 60 years of experience, it is only in the last 10 years that I have discovered how really important my thoughts and feelings are. I am so blessed to have reached an age where so many never had the chance. I have raised a wonderful daughter, who is now very independent and has her own life with its ups and downs as everyone does, but as much as I love her, I know that she will manage quite well with out my help because she is a grown women. I have a wonderful husband, who never is demanding or in any way controlling my life but is there for me if needed. I am me. If you don't like it, well too bad. I am free of caring what others think. My concern is enjoying life to the fullest. As you stated, I try to push away worry and fear, because as my mantra states...this too shall pass! So no reason to add wrinkles and frown lines for something you can not control. Thank you for your Vlog, it really hit home. PS: You are an inspiration!

The Lord has certainly smiled on me 🙏🏼 Talk about being free I am a rare bird in that I have long white hair which has always been a "no no" in the area in which I live if you are over 40......

[@eiyiyiyi]

I'll be 71 on Monday and can truly say that I do love who I am. Sure, I have laugh lines and wrinkles and I've earned every one through my life's experiences, smiles and tears. My face is not a blank canvas, it's the sum total of all my years. My hair is white and I adore it. Feels like a crown of silver glitter to me. I no longer care about what others think of me ... their opinions are none of my business. I try to live my life in such a way that I don't intentionally offend or hurt anyone but if I do, unintentionally, I'm quick to apologize. If I had it all to do over again, I'd do it the same way, the good and the not so good. All of it makes me who I am today. Thank you for posting this. You are so spot on in all 10 of your points. Especially not fearing the next decade. Embrace it and it can be a great time.

This video spoke so many things to me! I've always been young at heart and, although I'm 58 years old, I've felt as if I was around the age of 45. Recently, I've had major health issues that have brightly turned the light on and brought it to my attention that I am indeed my age.

I can now do what I want, when I want, have more money for myself and the best part is my husband is behind me 100% And, yes, each decade brings new horizons. I, too, feared getting older as each decade reached closer and closer but I am now wiser, respected and loved by so many. Since I discovered your channel on KZbin, you have given me such inspiration. Thank you for everything that you do, from makeup, to hairstyles, and best of all, all the wonderful advice and comments that you give us. The only thing I need to work on is fear. Fear to fly, fear to be in a large crowd, etc etc.and for those reasons I do not watch the 6 or 10 o'clock news anymore. Nevertheless, I still hear the tragic and sad news via the internet.

I am 45 pounds over weight and just feel discusted that I've let myself get to this point. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I felt like it was just you and I talking.

[@arlenelim8333]

Please just get back in shape. If it will take several months, so be it. I took me 3 months to lose the obesity. And still working to lose more fat. I give myself no excuses. I do it for no one. I am alone with a special child. I am able to look good. It brings me so much reason to smile. It is self-love at its finest.

[@arlenelim8333]

3 months, 6 months or a year of simple jogs, with no gears but old clothes and old shoes, on any quiet side street - my kind of 'me ' time. Let's do this. Alone, solitary yet smiling to oneself.

Loved this! One of the things I stopped when I turned 50 was passing people on two lane roads. Takes too much effort to try and pass someone on hilly, curvy, roller coaster roads if it's only going to save a few minutes. Plus I actually leave earlier to go places. Huge change for me.

[@hannahpereira2706]

Me too!

[@audreywalker2392]

Love this! Good list to consider whether you're 50 or not...thanks for putting this positive outlook out there

[@dominiquesachsetv]

Audrey Walker It’s my pleasure! Thank you

[@nancysteriti9212]

Well Dominique; first I love your video's; have been a fan forever. And I'm going to be 72 and I'll tell you, it's the best age! I love my age and for me, it's all about self worth and attitude. Of course your video's are helpful with hair and makeup!

[@natashasanders8785]

This came at the right time! I have never feared getting older. But there's something about getting close to 40 that changes your perspective on life. You start thinking about things you never thought about in your 20's like menopause and retirement. I just turned 39 and although I'm excited about turning 40, I'm a little nervous about it too. But I am definitely expecting my 40s to be better than I imagine! 😉

[@susanrehm1057]

Applause! That was beautiful. I'm 58 now and life keeps getting better and better. I have also left behind caring what others think. It's so freeing and liberating! Thank you so much for making this video.

[@Agathasapothecaryproducts]

Thank you for being such an encourager! Between my 50th & 60th birthdays I did the following: Started a pet apothecary to help pet owners keep their pets healthy naturally, wrote two children's books and started two blogs I'm finishing an ebook to help new puppy owners raise amazing puppies. God has blessed all of these endeavors in an amazing way and we are able to send large sums of money every month to help a school for deaf children in Africa, missionaries around the world, medical missions trips to needy areas, the list goes on, I am humbled at how God has made these years of my life more creative and productive and FUN than all of the last decades combined!

"Opportunity for something new, instead of something that I feel that I'm losing". I so needed to hear that, thank you:)

[@camicri4263]

Amen times 10! I am turning 57 in November and so thankful that I finally going to be able to fix my health challenges, loose the weight and be the best I can be and maybe make a difference in someone's life, show that is possible. Forgive myself for staying in this rot for more than 26 years. I'm working on my personal development, studying health and taking the steps to achieve it. I know it won't be perfect with parts missing but it will be close! God is so good! Thanks!

[@laurieweinberger7821]

Just found your channel, and I love it. I am turning 61 next month, and I'm absolutely fine with it. It has taken me a long time to learn how to love myself, and not let others change my internal "good sense" meter. Thanks so much for reiterating what most of us know but sometimes forget.

[@danapride]

Wow! As an older woman, I can really appreciate these top 10. I admire your self esteem. Thank you for this wonderful video to set us ladies free.

[@ashlinglynam1985]

Excellent advice Dominique, I’ve just turned 30 and will take your advice onboard ❤️ thank you x

[@carolpappas8227]

Growing up Greek, we always heard that our grand and great grandparents in Greece celebrated their name days - many old Greeks were not even sure when their birthdays were or how old they were. It didn't matter! I love this thinking and have since I was a kid, so I treat my birthday as a celebration of me. I think the name day thing is such a better idea than worrying about the number. November 13th is always Carol day. I always enjoy your videos. Thank you.

[@lmccauley7319]

Love that! Cool. :)

[@nataliagousseva2772]

Carol, I can relate to your Greek story, I was lucky in my life to live in Cyprus for 10 years. Greek equals Zoe or real life to me. Each time I am feeling down I turn on the Greek music and dance my soul away. Greek dancing is also a great exercise to keep your body and soul fit. Khronia bolla.

[@annetteberg6981]

I loved this. Someone once told me when you win an argument, everyone loses. I just turned 50 and this is one thing that I have learned over the years and that nothing good comes out of proving you are right. You have made someone feel bad and then they feel negatively toward you, lose/lose. Best lesson in life I ever learned. Just listen to what they have to say let it go!

[@anthemouzakitis7408]

Thank you so much for that wisdom. I’m 65 and needed this advice!

[@larissamartinsen4166]

Dominique, you are simply fantastic: sofisticated, life-wise, lively and glowing, yet down-to-earth at the same time.

[@kayekog]

Oh, Dominique, you outdid yourself with this video and I loved it. You were so honest, insightful and encouraging. I appreciate you pulling this list together. I'm going to share it and I haven't done that very much. Thank you! Great job.

[@WelshIrishLady]

"You can thank me later that you're not Joe!" I love that! Reminded me to send a prayer up to my late father for not letting me run wild like one of my friends whose life is now a complete mess nearly 30 years later!

[@pamelafritzheuser9682]

Thank you Dominique for very intelligent words! I found you by chance on KZbin and love all your videos. This one makes me feel especially good, you are so spot on with your insights. Especially the first one, not worrying about what others think. Many greetings from a 50 year old working mother of three, living in Stockholm, Sweden

[@renekeller8701]

Dominique I recently subscribed to your channel, thank you for being such an inspiration and being real. Im 51 in 3months time and about 5yrs ago started living life for me requiring no validation or approval from others as this juicy peach might not be everyone's favourite fruit. Such a liberating feeling. Simply love your videos and content. ❤

Isn’t it so great that “as we live, we learn?” I’m 68 and loving it. Thanks for reminding me😊❤️😊

[@lizsanchez1847]

Love this video! At 57 I see how the things that impacted me or I allowed to control my life are no longer an issue. I've learned not to literally "sweat the small stuff." I truly realize now that I have the choice to control the issues and not allow them control me or my life.

[@JM-jo9dg]

I love the coin necklace. I have been a sub for a long time now and I have to say this is my favorite video you have done. I love you are so positive, I could relate to everything you said. I am a bit older than you and have lived with fear and worry my whole life. I worry when there is nothing to worry about, especially when you have kids who are grown, the worry never stops because we always want the best for them, to stay healthy, happy and prosperous. Thank you for your thoughts.

[@michellethomas7140]

Dominique THANK YOU! I just turned 50 on October 3, I've always been a worrier, always overly cared about what others thought about me, be it my family or friends. What you said about doing all you can and leave the rest to God, my husband has always said that "if you do all you can, turn the rest over to Heavenly Father and he'll take care of the balance!" Thank you for being so inspiring! Love from Phoenix, AZ

[@donnasnuggs3736]

I have been binge-watching a few of your videos this evening and I wasn't even going to watch this one. But something made me click onto it and it truly affected me in a way I didn't expect. I'm about to turn 57 next month and I do feel I'm at a crossroads with what I want to do with my life now that my children are grown. This video was such an INSPIRATION!! Your no-nonsense, positive encouragement spoke directly to me. Thank you! You're the girlfriend I needed at this moment.

[@soniabutler6280]

Thanks for the encouragement, especially on the worry thing: as the mother of three sons with aspergers (a form of autism) I've had to plan and anticipate what their needs and anxieties will be for so long that it's eating into my own life appraisal You have reminded me to hold on to myself and learn again to 'rest' in myself to be able to listen to that still small voice, that is confident and comfortable and sometimes seeks challenge beyond my comfort zone. You are always a blessing and I thank God for you xx

Please don’t ever stop making your videos! They are all so fun and helpful in so many ways and you give me hope that even though I am getting older I can still be beautiful inside and out. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your beautiful soul and for always taking the time out of your busy schedule to make these videos for us ladies.❤️

[@carolannmurphy3363]

Hallelujah Dominique . Tick, tick, tick to all top ten. I have to come to realize all of your suggestions are dead on as we age. Ageing is so freeing. All the trivial little things we put so much emphasis on during our young lives was such a complete waste. Ageing is so comfortable. You go girl.

I just discovered your KZbin channel and want to tell you how much I enjoyed and agreed with this video. I am not in my 50s yet but I have started to feel this way about myself, others, and life in general. When you embrace this mindset, it puts your experiences in perspective. Life is a journey and we are here for a reason. Thank you!

[@silkestadler2647]

I will be 35 in a month and really enjoyed your video: It inspired me to embrace my age at any time in life and not to fear getting older. I share your experience that I am always more happy where I am now than I was when I was younger - and I am confident that this will continue to be so, because I increasingly discover what I want and what is essential in my life.
