Staying Young

Don’t Feel Guilty

Aging can come on you when you’re faced with unnecessary pressures in life.  You can be blamed for some of the unhappiness that someone else is dealing with and it wouldn’t be your fault.  However, since you’re closest to them, they have to blame someone. 

How you are affected by it, or rather how you allow it to affect you can make the difference in whether or not you choose to rise above it.  Allowing situations to affect you that you have no control over does nothing but bring stress and grief. 

We all know that stress is an anti-friend to staying young.  You may have to distance or even break off from that person in order to get the peace that you need.

Cry When You Need To

Most people cry when they’re feeling a sense of emotional pain and hurt.  This may come from the way someone has treated you, or some other event in your life.  It is not wrong to cry.   A lot of times, it’s best to get it out. 

Crying can actually make you feel better, as long as you don’t overdo it.  Crying can release some of the pent up feelings you have inside your body.  If you keep them holed up, it can affect your health and eventually cause you to look old before your time.

Laughter

It’s good to laugh, as long as it’s not ridiculing or making fun of anyone.  Laughing has some benefits as far as your health is concerned.  You can actually laugh your cares away.  Laughing can remove some of the pain that you may be experiencing. 

Laughing is considered a therapeutic process.  You don’t necessarily have to have a reason to laugh, you can just laugh because you want to.  Laughing also relieves you of any stress you may have pent up inside of you. 

It’s good to release it and let it go.  Did you know that laughter can strengthen your immune system?  It can also help you to retain your memory and provide exercise to your muscles and your heart.

Enjoy The Simple Things In Life

This is something a lot of us fail to do.  People spend so much time worrying about things that are out of their control instead of focusing on things that are constructive.  Some of the things are so simple, that you don’t have to spend a lot of money doing them. 

Try taking a walk in the park or going to the library.  You may want to take a writing class.  You may think these are not the most exciting things to do, but when you think about it, they are constructive activities that can add to your well-being.
