Seven Secrets to Staying Young
I am inspired today by so many things and in particular my
thirst for learning. It seems that there is so much more to
discover and it comes at me at such a fast pace it is sometimes
a challenge to keep up. Yet, I feel I must if I want to remain
"forever young". Of course I don't purport to looking and
dressing much younger than I am, as that may seem rather telling
- and probably wouldn't work. I do believe, however, that there
are many things one can do to stay young in mind and spirit. 1.
Surround yourself with young, vibrant people. I am constantly
energized being around my younger business partners, networking
associates, and friends. They keep me thinking young and staying
current. It is from them that I have actually learned to take
more risks - whether it is a small thing such as advertising on
Craig's list, blogging, or a very huge thing like climbing a 50
ft pole and jumping off onto a zipline. which I might add I was
very proud of and can't believe I actually did. It felt great to
know that my young friends were cheering me on and encouraging
me every step of the way. 2. Exercise and eat well. There is the
constant battle of making the choice between convenience or
healthy. I think the secret is no secret at all, just
moderation. Enjoy and make healthy choices most of the time.
Just don't beat yourself up when you don't. Remember to take the
stairs instead of the elevator and all that other good stuff. ..
and keep moving! Take up dancing, perhaps. Refer to my first
secret to staying young, and hang around young people. That will
keep you motivated to stay active... and you may even find
yourself re-energized. 3. Stay current... if you can carry on a
topical conversation, whether it is about the latest Harry
Potter plot or who will be the next president of the United
States (will a woman or an African American get the nod), it
means that people will see you as "with it" and vibrant. 4. Keep
on top of the latest trends... Are you on Facebook or Hi 5? Do
you download music from I-Tunes to your i-pod? Do you know what
a PVR/DVR is? I am constantly reminded of my age when so many of
my friends don't have a clue about any of these things, or if
they do they are too overwhelmed to think about learning more.
5. Don't let your hair go gray - Now I'm actually talking to the
females here, because we all know that gray hair on men is
"distinguished", but in women it is a sure sign of "letting
things go". The Duchess of Windsor said you can never be too
thin or too rich. I believe you can add to that ... you can
never have enough highlights! 6. Stimulate your mind. Now this
is extremely important and a telltale sign of old age (as we
know it). Forgetting things - names, dates, directions etc is
not good. Keep your mind stimulated! If you are a verbal person
do crosswords or play scrabble. If you are a numbers person do
sodoku puzzles, play cards. Do jigsaw puzzles, take a course,...
do ANYTHING that keeps your mind working. 7. Supplement...There
are two major factors that affect our health on a daily basis,
and we probably don't even realize to what extent, and those are
free radicals and inflammation. Both of these can make us sick,
tired, and feeling old before our time. With the right
supplement both of these can be helped. Look for something
natural that is a strong anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory,
that is easy to take and most of all tastes delicious.
Ultimately, if you take good care of yourself and have a
positive attitude you will enjoy life at any age. You are only
as old as you feel - although it doesn't hurt when people say
"You don't look your age!" ... in fact it makes all the work
worth it.
