I’ve always found Christmas for being a curious mix of excitement and fear.
On the one hand, I will all celebrate with that small slight stimulation of the cake, friends and trust that comes with your “special day” outfit.
On the other hand, there is often a small voice on the back of the head, reminding me that time is touching, and I don’t get younger.
But I realized that anxious feeling of aging is mainly related to the fear of unknown, what will happen, as he may be.
Oprah WinfreyLet us remind you that “be grateful for each age, then you are blessed,” he seems to have a call to strengthen action.
Instead of grating on each new candle on the cake, I learned to change my point of view and enjoy wisdom and self-confidence that tends to come only.
I like to think about aging as a form of art, we can learn to master if we keep our outfit with the right tools.
Below I want to share eight habits that have changed as older.
They are simple and something to do, but a deep redistrator when applied every day.
1. Appreciate gratitude every morning
When I wake up, I try to take only one or two minutes to think about what I am thankful.
Some days it is as simple as being grateful I slept in the morning sunshine.
Other days I’m afraid I’m doing what I do and be with my favorite people.
In the morning, this small act of gratitude is masking me every day with a more open and positive mindset.
My worldview changed about the growing old people when I realized that I should not be mourning the passage of time, when there is a lot to celebrate every day.
I have seen customers transform their relationship with the aging simply by presenting another gratitude rite, regardless of whether it calls thoughts to speak loud words.

If you are not in the pen and paper, the fast mental list is as powerful.
2. Move your body in a cheerful way
Exercise can mean different things for different people.
I have had customers who love intensive cardiovascular sessions at the gym and others prefer to walk in the neighborhood or taking a yoga class.
Personally, I have pushed up to Yoga, as it mixes thinking, strength and flexibility, plus it is quite wonderful for stress help.
We all know that regular movement is important for physical health, but what can be seen as a way of celebrating what your body can do?
Each time you stretch, raise, run or dance, you remind you that you have a mobility reward.
Sometimes I think, if we are less afraid, if we think about it as an opportunity to discover our body and adjust to time.
When I smile my sneakers or roll my yoga carpet, it is not just for calorie burning. I give my mind a gentle restart.
3. Keep your mind open to study
If we are truly grateful for each year, it makes no sense to keep those years new information, fresh prospects, and enrich experiences.
I have always been a Avid reader, particularly Bren Brown, Maya Angele or even Silvia block.
The more I learn, the more vivid and alive I feel.
Whether you take a new language, sign up for a cooking class, or explore the online course on a completely random topic, this continuous tuition flights to study keep your mind sharply.
You may have read my post with a relationship patterns where I reflected how important self-discipline is.
Self-employment often comes to seek knowledge, reflecting and applying what to fit.
When I hear that someone says that “too old” to try something new, I can’t help but think.
The willingness to expand our horizons keeps us young.
4. Surround yourself with a relationship raising
It’s not just about romance, although I admit that I have a soft place to have the stories of life-raising lifers for the past decades.
Healthy friendship and family ties also form every new life of life.
Aging becomes much more enjoyable when we are connected to auxiliary social circle.
When you are surrounded by friends and loved ones who raise your spirit, remind you of your value and list your growth, the process of aging begins to feel like a collective journey.
I have seen it that this happens at my advice sessions. The existence of a solid support system can dramatically change someone’s prospect of what it means to turn a certain era.
If you have ever been anxious to grow older, consider contact with friends who can make you happy with every step of the way.
5. Accept calm and thinking
Hurting course during the day, checking emails, to spin social media can easily make us feel that life is flying.
But what will happen if we slow down, even every day for just a few precious moments?
Mindfulness can be as simple as paying attention to your breathing noticing how you fill your lungs and focus on your feet.
Being fully present, we are more aware of the passage of time, but in a calm, measured manner, which is more like appreciation and less anxiety.
I like to think about thinking, because by clicking the “Pause” button on the noise around us.
That calm moment is a reminder that aging should not be pursued against time.
It can be a mild journey that we are taste, the second is the second.
6: indicate each small victory
We are often waiting for great moments such as advancement, the end of the long-term program, or completing the main destination of life, followed.
But gently aging means celebrating the small victories that fill the gaps between these great opportunities.
You may have prepared a delicious meal from scratch, found a better way to adjust the complex conversation, or you may be stuck in a daily walk in a week.
Bren Brown Well known. “We don’t have to do alone alone. We never meant. ”
Sometimes recognizing those small victories means to share with others, be a friend or put it in the social media.
These celebrations are mini affirmations that our daily activities are important.
This habit made me much more fun for me.
There is always something to celebrate, which means that this year there is a reason to evaluate here this year.
7. Leave perfection and focus on authenticity
Performance is such a complex concept. It promises a feeling of control, but often leaves us worried, self-critical and fearful to show our vulnerability.
At some point I realized that being clinging to impossible standards actually keeps me from enjoying every year of my life.
The validity does not require you to have the perfect skin, perfect figure or achievements.
It only asks that you appear yourself.
When you accept authenticity, the fear of aging decreases because you are no longer worried about living an external ideal.
You just appreciate the journey, wrinkles, laughter lines and everyone knows each of your personal history head.
8. Back to others and set a goal
I’m big to keep up to the end, friends.
We all know that finding the goal makes life more meaningful, but I don’t think we are talking about how to grow old in a beautiful adventure.
Whether it is younger, the volunteer is voluntary in the community, or just being there is a tough place with a sense of exercise that exceeds our individual concerns.
Maya Angele He once said: “When you learn, you teach. When you get, give. “
This mantra can guide us every past year as our experience and the opportunity to share wisdom.
Even in my advice practice I feel like I get better all I do every year.
The more I give, the more I realize that it keeps a lot of life before serving, loving and learning.
When we fill in others, we remind that life is not just about counting years. It’s about making the calculation of those years.
And it’s gently aging axis. It’s not just about the avoidance of wrinkles or staying young in heart. It’s about shedding your gifts that they need them.
Final Thoughts:
If there is one thing I hope you will take all this, it’s the idea that aging should be seen as a form of art, we are constantly purified.
Every year we become richer in memories, lessons and experiences.
Instead of staying away from time to time, we can choose to celebrate the opportunity to add more shadows, tissues and patterns to our personal masterpiece.
In a world that often strengthens youth as a final prize, let us keep the words of Oprah Winfrey. Be grateful for every age you bless.
