More thoughts guaranteed to make you seem younger and feel younger.
9. Learn how to handle stress
Check to se if your stress has been overlapping into your play time. People should play cards, tenn is or golf or participate in some kind of fun time…without taking all the fun out of their recreation and losing their cool.
It is far too easy to cut your schedules so tight they you have to rush to relax and end up being worn out from trying not to be worn out.
And if you must worry, put it in your schedule. Set aside thirty minutes a week to actually write down what it is that’s driving you bananas.
Set a timer and when it goes off, quit worrying. It really can help you keep your problems in proper perspective.
In other words, get a gratitude attitude. Make thanksgiving more than a day. Make it a
way of life.
10. Give Compliments
Cultivate any ur ges to congratulate.
When you feel an attack of praise coming on seek out the object of your affection and praise them to the hilt.
Don’t squelch or mute your expressions of admiration. If you feel uncomfortable doing it verbally, write a note.
But do it!
It is impossible to praise anyone too much, when the praise is earned. Remember, even a mosquito get a pat on the back when he does a good job.
11. Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.
There is a gentleman who daily walks two miles through our neighborhood with a plastic bag in hand. And along the way he picks up the paper and cans, etc. that sometimes litter our streets. No one has asked him to do it. No one is paying him to do it. But I’m sure he receives a million dollars worth of satisfaction.
A woman I know of takes doughnuts and coffee to school crossing guards along with a word of thanks for protecting her children.
One pundit describes such actions as dropping a pebble into the pool of humanity and watching the positive affect. Call it divine foolishness, this business of doing good for goodness sake. Gently disturbing the status quo. Quite out of focus with selfishness. I rather think it can be called the Bright Beacon of Betterness, a brilliant unpublished message with headlines for the heart.
12. Get a good night’s sleep
Without sleep there are tears in the fabric of your being. How to fall under the spell of Morpheus? Don’t fight it. Cooperate your way to blessed resting. Read a book. Watch a video, not an action thriller. Write a letter. Go outside and get re-acquainted with the reverent quiet of earn morn.
Go to bed at the same time each evening. Don’t take your briefcase to bed with you. Meals with carbohydrates are calming. Repeat the word sleep over and over, one hundred times or more. If you can find. you have stopped and are still awake, start over again.
If you continue to sleep poorly or almost not at all, take a don’t-feel=guilt-nap during the day, if possible. Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein failed night dream but napped regularly.
