Ten year anniversaries of your birth date are always exciting and are a definite cause for celebration!

For some, this can be a great time for reflection and to look back at what you have achieved and how you have enjoyed your life so far. For others, reaching such a milestone can be a bit troubling, as you may fret whether you have really achieved enough and where you might be in another ten years.

We should all reflect on our statge in life, where we are personally, financially and emotionally. And sometimes the woman who is raising her family when she reaches the big four-oh may reflect a bit on her sex appeal and wonder whether she has still "got it!"

It's very true to say that we all become more philosophical as we age. This is a consequence of being able to reflect on many of life's rich experiences and in many cases knowing how to put these experiences into practice. Each decade milestone will find us in a very different place in our book of life and we will look back on our memories in a different way and look forward to what we have ahead of us with a fresh perspective. As such, considering whether you are sexy or not as a 40-something mum will undoubtedly unveil a whole list of different answers than it would if you were 30.

Those of us who have experienced and loved being a 40-year-old mum, know that our sexuality owes a lot to our maturity, from an emotional and mental perspective. We don't feel insecure and have a certain amount of natural dignity which comes with our position.

We are much more composed, and know how to deal with any situation when it arises by displaying a sassy attitude, allowing us to feel inherently good about ourselves and to resolve problems with a lot more ease.

Professional coaching solutions exist for mums at every stage of their life journey and can often help us to come to terms with our milestones. It's important to understand what "sexy" means and most importantly of all, what it means to you.

Physically you will have a different appearance of course, but with your maturity you need to learn to trust yourself to make the most of your looks every day. For example, do as the old screen sirens did - learn how you look better in certain lights and always present your best side to a camera! Emotionally and mentally, however it is likely that you are much sexier and more appealing for every year that you age.

Be secure in your status and believe in yourself and what you have achieved. Look at your children and be rightly proud of the loving relationship you have with your partner. Remember that life is only really enjoyable when you truly love yourself, first and foremost. Seek out online life coaching experts if you feel a little overwhelmed when you are approaching or get to those special milestones that everyone makes such a big deal about!

Remember that life begins at 40 and when coaching for women in this position I often remind them that the biggest favour they can do themselves is to think and act "young." Ask yourself this question - if you didn't know what your actual age was, how old would you think you were? Hopefully the answer to this question isn't "90"! Now, go strut your stuff, fabulous 40 mum!
