STEPS TO STAY YOUNG AT HEART DESPITE AGING

By: Princy Narang Engaginglifethoughts.blogspot.com Growing old with time is a continuous and the most well known fact of life. But growing old doesn’t mean getting aged as one can remain young forever by remaining young at heart. Even there is famous quote by Walt Disney that “Growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional”. No matter how much is your age, you can stay young at heart till you want to. Although we cannot deny the fact that the biological clock will keep ticking but you can still stay the same if you feel it from inside. Thus it can be said we always remain the same age as inside. Moreover getting older is in the mind and not in heart.

Now let us see what we need to do to stay young forever and ever:

• Stop acting your age rather forget it and just act the way you want to be: Most of us keep on thinking that whatever we should do should suit our age but the key to remain young is that there is nothing which you cannot do even if it means going on trips, diving in sea, eating ice creams etc. One should do whatever they want to and not to think of how others will feel.

• 8 hour of beauty sleep will help you to have a fresh and beautiful face. When you are beautiful from outside then you will feel young at heart.

• Always try to look at the brighter side of life. This can be done by practicing to think positive and removing all the internal and external negativity.

• Regular Exercise and walk help to maintain health. Also we say that Healthy mind and heart resides in healthy body.

• Have faith in yourself and always be thankful to God and society. In today’s time it is evident that people keep on cribbing about what they are devoid off rather than being happy about what all they have and how can they use those for the betterment of themselves and society. You all should be grateful to everyone to whom you are associated with. This will make you happy from inside and being happy means being young.

• Laughing a lot helps to remain full of energy and youth.

• Socialise with more and more people specially who are young and even spend time with kids as they are full of excitement and happy energy and thus will enable you to be energetic.     

• Keep yourself updated about current technology and social media as it will help you in standing equal to the young generation.

• Wear fashionable clothes and shoes without worrying whether it will suit your age or not. As you are never too old to do fashion.

• Being spontaneous is the key to a youthful heart as it enables you to live for the moment. You should stop worrying about future and try to live each and every second of life.

• Travel to new places, eat new and different cuisines, try out different sports, hobbies, play games and talk to new people. Even George Bernard Shaw once said “We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing”.

•  Stop grumbling, cribbing and complaining about the flaws in the world rather try to visualize the beauty of life.

• Pamper yourself: go to gym/ spa/ parlour and maintain your overall outlook.

• Fall in love with your partner all the over again.

•  Help the underprivileged as it will give you true happiness.

• Learn something new like swimming, piano playing, painting or even learning a new language.

All this shows how you can have a youthful heart despite growing old. Moreover there is a famous quote by James A Garfield that “If wrinkles must be written upon our brows, let them not be written upon the heart. The spirit should never grow old.”

Thus by going through the above it can be easily deduced you can remain forever young despite aging because age is just a number.
