In the black-and-white photo posted on Instagram last Thursday, Paltrow is seen smiling as she jumps in the air, clad in a bikini.

straitstimes : The post received more than 121,000 likes, with many of the comments responding to the accompanying essay, which was posted as a separate blog due to its length.

Writing on the website of Goop, the lifestyle company she founded in 2008, Paltrow admitted to feeling that “no sense of time (has) passed”.

However, despite her enviable beach-ready body, she noted that it was “less timeless”, showing scars and wrinkles.

“(But) while I do what I can to strive for good health and longevity, to stave off weakening muscles and receding bone, I have a mantra I insert into those reckless thoughts that try to derail me: I accept. I accept the marks and the loosening skin, the wrinkles. I accept my body and let go of the need to be perfect,” she said.

she added that moving forward, she wanted to “hold (herself) to a higher standard of compassion”.

Gwyneth Paltrow pens honest essay about turning 50 and owning past mistakes: ‘I betrayed myself to keep the peace’

She shared a candid essay on her lifestyle website Goop, revealing that while her past mistakes give her sleepless nights she has ‘learned from them all’.

metro : Gwyneth told her followers: ‘I have hurt people, never intentionally, but I have done so just the same. I have let people down by not being who they needed me to be. I have betrayed myself to keep the peace.

‘I have crossed lines, the thoughts of which sometimes rip me from sleep and suspend me into the hollowness of shame for a long, dark night.

‘Most regretfully, and so often, I have not spoken my truth to spare some perceived consequence, that hurting someone will tear us both apart.’

She admitted that she had struggled to set boundaries or stand up for herself in the past because she was afraid of upsetting people in her personal life and her career.
