How to stay young the fun easy way!


It's really quite simple...
1. Play I don't remember who said this but it is so true....We don't cease to play because we grow old. We grow old because we cease to play. I don't care whether you play golf, tiddly winks or just get on the floor and play with the kids. It's essential for your mental health to play as much as possible.
2. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until your belly hurts. Hang out with others who like to laugh. And stay away from negative grumpy people, they suck the energy and life right out of you.
3. Learn to love and appreciate all that you have. Probably, this should be number one on the list. Start giving gratitude as a habit and you will feel lighter. We as a society have lost touch with reality. We live in the most affluent society in the world and yet we complain because we don't have enough. One trip to parts of Africa would cure you for good!
4. Take care of your body, it's the only one you will get! If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. It it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
5. Surround yourself with the positive things you love. Family, friends, pets, music, plants, hobbies, pictures....your home is your refuge, make it the best it can be.
6. Stay connected. To nature, to loved ones and to your dreams.
7. Always be the student. There is little that makes you feel more alive than to learn something new. Never let the brain get idle. You've heard that saying....An idle mind is the devil's workshop. And the devil's name is Alzheimers!
8. Don't sweat the small stuff because it's all small stuff.
9. Tears happen! Endure, grieve and move on. The only person who is with you, your entire life is yourself. You owe it yourself and to those you love to.....Live while you are alive!
10. Tell everyone you love how much you love them and do it often!
If you have any other ideas on this subject, I would love to hear them?
And there is this from some wise guy, named...Plato
"he who is calm and happy nature
will hardly feel the pressure of age"
Plato
Eduardo
