Age isn’t measured in years alone; it’s measured in the moments that take your breath away. It’s about embracing wonder, finding simplicity, and refusing to let your spirit dim with age. To stay young at heart means never quitting living, squeezing every ounce of life, every single moment of every single day. It’s about embracing the journey, letting go of what doesn’t serve you, and choosing to see the world with the sometimes lost curiosity of a child. Go on an adventure to stay forever young, and don’t look back!
- The Journey is All That Matters: Age, weight, height and other numbers are just a still in time. Focus on what you now know, the internal strength, and the beauty in perspective you’ve gained.
- Choose People Well: Surround yourself with people who matter, who uplift you and who share your love for life. Negative people can be draining – don’t let them fray you; instead, choose understanding rather than judgment, then move on and away.
- Practice Curiosity: It sounds silly, but see things again for the first time, try it! Read, learn, and explore new things; most importantly, close your eyes and remember what it felt like to be a kid.
- Breathe In: It’s so easy to become desensitized by what the world hands us daily or the things we take for granted. Overcome this with a conscious effort to see the world with fresh eyes. Stand still, close your eyes and listen, literally, bend over and smell the flowers and admire their bloom, listen to the chatter of smiling voices and laughter, and take it all in!
- Feel Everything: It’s good to feel. Embrace it with your whole heart. Laughter causes healing, tears release tension, and tear-filled eyes sometimes help us see more clearly. Love is a gift given and received, even if it ends in heartache. Heartache is an opportunity to learn about ourselves and the choices we make.
- Your Happy Place: Where you hang your hat is usually where you call home, but home can be a park, an empty beach, or a park that brings back memories. A home is a place where you immerse yourself in things that live in your heart; if that place is where you live, even better.
- Invest in Your Mind & Body: See food as fuel; the better you fuel your body, the more you will get out of it in energy, focus, stamina, creativity, and so much more. Good mental and physical health unlocks and opens up possibilities.
- Release the weight of grudges. Forgiveness sets you free. Let go of anger and resentment – they hold you back more than the person you’re upset with.
- Connect with your loved ones. Tell people how much they mean to you, and make time for those who matter most.
- Live with purpose. Know your values, and let them guide your choices. Become the person you admire, one step at a time.
The clock doesn’t stop, but your heart can choose wonder over worry, kindness over bitterness, understanding over judgment and love over fear. Staying young at heart is not about denying the passage of years but about celebrating with a mindful spirit that permeates every fiber of your being that glows.
