5 Tips That Keeps People Young

1. Stay young.

Many people think, when young, that they don’t need to worry about eating right, exercising, cutting out bad habits and staying in good physical shape. And for a while they’re right, at least until they’re not. It’s far easier to get in shape when you’re young and keep it than correct it later in life. And it will keep you young longer.

2. Think young.

Many people, as they age, think of themselves as old. Every birthday is a day of regret. They remind themselves of all they can’t do. And they’re right. Instead, forget about your age. Think instead about all you still want to do and accomplish. And all the blessings you have. And you’ll find you start feeling as young as you think.

3. Talk young.

Along with thinking old many people start talking old. They talk about their aches and what they can’t do. And honestly, they talk themselves into it. Rather, talk about all you still want to do and all you’re enjoying doing. Focus on the gift of each new day. And you’ll discover again the wonder of feeling young.

4. Relate young.

Many older people only have older friends who they commiserate with about being old. And pretty soon younger people don’t really want to hang out with them because, well, it’s depressing. Instead, keep engaged with younger people. Your children, grand children and younger friends. They’ll keep you young.

5. Act young.

Too many older people get old before they are old. They may be older but they act like they’re on their deathbed. And soon they feel as old as they act and start a downward spiral. Instead, act like you did when young. Wake up expecting a great new day filled with new adventures. Then live out your day in wonder and joy. And you’ll feel as young as you act.

Sure growing older is part of life that comes to us all. Becoming an elderly person is a part of life you can put off.

Growing older chronologically is a fact. Growing older in attitude is a choice.
