Quiz: Are you ageing confidently?

If you believe you can change, you will. Set small, achievable goals, and spend time doing little things each day that are good for you and make you feel good about yourself. Don’t waste time worrying about what was or fearing what might be.

Here are some confidence tricks to try:

1 Think positively. Every time you think a negative thought, swap it for a more optimistic one. The more you do this, the easier it becomes.

2 Talk yourself up. You have to believe you’re lovable, or you’ll never feel good in your own skin.

3 Socialise. The more outgoing you are, and the more you mix with a variety of age groups, the younger and fresher you’ll feel.

4 Look at what you’re wearing. When you’re getting dressed, put on clothes that make you feel fantastic. Don’t hide away!

5 Take regular exercise. It will clear your brain, boost your mood and energise your body.
