Think on these things: 1. No one really dies of "old age," because it is not an illness. Old age can be a time of joy, freedom and peace. 2. What you have been led to believe about aging is primarily negative. Don't buy the program. 3. Be a rebel. Be outrageous. Be ecstatically eccentric. Be creative. Be the person you have dreamed of being. 4. Be gentle with yourself as you challenge yourself to do something you've never done before. And hang in there. 5. Remember that your body is an amazing self-healing organism. Your capacity for self-healing is far greater than you have been led to believe. 6. Your attitude, your beliefs and daily thoughts about your body, mind and aging process determine your health and well being to a much greater extent than you have ever imagined. 7. Consider what you've heard all your life about "the will to live." We learned as children about people dying when they shouldn't have because they lacked it. We also learned about people living when they weren't supposed to because they had it. How strong is your "will to live?" Strengthen it by putting as much joy and love into your life as possible. 8. Start today "finding the good" in yourself and the world around you. This is the absolutely all-time best thing you can do to insure a healthy, happy aging process. Become a Goodfinder and practice the Art of Appreciation. 9. There is no doubt that those who have a strong spiritual faith get sick less often, recover more quickly, and live longer happier lives. We need a positive spiritual belief system as much as we need food, air and water. 10. If you have a strong, uplifting spiritual focus, build and maintain it. If you don't, start looking until you find the beliefs and practices that work the best for you.
Create A Positive Vision Of Yourself As You Age With Elegance You know the picture of aging that you don't want? Loss of mental and physical function, isolation and total painful decline. Not a pretty picture. You do not have to go quietly into that dark night! Yet, if you have a negative program going about aging and don't take care of yourself, that may be exactly where you end up. So, here's a better choice:Establish a vision of your future self smiling, breathing deeply and energetically engaged in your life in multiple ways. See yourself as you want to be. Visualize yourself exercising, eating well, engaged in activities and laughing with friends. Feel the emotions that go with this. Believe it. Make up your mind that is where you're going. Look forward to it. Expect it. Get specific and clear about your vision. Set clear goals for your physical, financial, intellectual, emotional and spiritual growth. Keep a journal, and write about your current life as if you had already reached all of your goals. Feel it. See it. This is your capacity to create your own reality. You can do it. You can make it happen. You have everything you need to create the life you want for yourself.
