STOP THE AGING PROCESS
That makes a great headline, but how do youactually do that'
I was looking at a photo of myself from 40 years
ago and wondered where that beautiful girl went.
And yet, every person I showed it to said the
exact same thing-"You are still beautiful." Of
course, in a totally different way.
And certainly, I am aware of what the years bring
you, and have tried everything possible to slow
it down. I try to eat right, although I admit to
cheating every now and then, work out two hours
every day and keep inventing new businesses and
re-inventing myself. Still I know my knees hurt,
my feet are a mess and I'm not as limber as I
once was.
But let's get to the good things. Age really is
in your mind, not on your skin. If you are
strong in your mind and heart, you are strong as
a person. Keeping up with the present and
understanding what the future might bring is
certainly one way to stay fresh and up to date
with current events and exciting new trends.
Purpose is very important when getting up every
day and if you don't have one, and simply let the
day take its course, you'll find that you have
far less direction, more time spent on
unimportant things and you'll be pulled in every
way you don't want. While a lot of people think
it is wonderful to have no responsibility,
freedom to do what they want when they want, and
to just exist, there is proven data suggesting
that without purpose and a plan, you become
depressed, lethargic and accomplish nothing.
So here on my suggestions to stop the aging
process!
1. Get up with a smile on your face knowing it
will be an absolutely terrific day.
2. Have at least one goal set for yourself. It
can be regarding family, a hobby, a part time job
or a movie you want to see.
3. Take 5 minutes to be thankful for everything
you have and forget all the things you don't have.
4. Make at least one phone call to put sunshine
into someone else's life.
5. Spend 30 minutes doing some form of physical
exercise-whether it is yoga, tai-chi, aerobics,
swimming or going for a walk.
6. Read for 15 minutes on a subject that gives
you great pleasure or is new information.
7. Re-invent yourself today. Try at least one
new thing that you've never done before.
Make yourself a first class package that everyone
is attracted to-and you will be attracted to
yourself too!
