Older women reveal what they wish they knew when they were younger

Embedded image permalink

Seventy per cent of British women feel under pressure to be the “perfect woman”, according to a survey by Sanctuary.
  • Pressure to be the "perfect mother, the perfect wife, the perfect friend. Pressure to be successful, to be a boss, a leader".
  • To combat this, the spa has released a video featuring older women urging the younger generation to "relax, breathe and let go" every once in a while and revealing the things they wish they'd spent more time doing when they were younger.
  • I’d give myself time to indulge in the things I now understand are the most important.

  • What I wouldn’t give to extend those goodnight kisses, instead of moaning about having to get up early in the morning.
  • What I wouldn’t give for an extra second of cuddling my babies before they became too big to hold.
  • What I wouldn’t give for five more minutes on the dance floor while my legs were still strong enough to hold me.
