How to Stay Young, Happy and Healthy
Throw out non-essential numbers.
This includes age, weight and height.
Let the doctor worry about them.
That is why you pay him/her.
Keep only cheerful friends.
The grouches pull you down.
If you really need a grouch,
there are probably a few dozen of your relatives to do the job.
Keep learning.
Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening .whatever.
Just never let the brain idle.
Enjoy the simple things.
When the children are young.
that is all that you can afford.
When they are in college.
that is all that you can afford.
When they are grown and you are on retirement.
that is all that you can afford!
Laugh often, long and loud.
Laugh until you gasp for breath.
Laugh so much that you can be tracked in the store by your distinctive laughter.
The tears happen.
Endure, grieve, and move on.
The only person who is with us our entire life is
. ourselves.
Surround yourself with what you love,
whether it is family, pets, keepsakes,
music, plants, hobbies . whatever.
Your home is your refuge.
Cherish your health.
If it is good . preserve it.
If it is unstable . improve it.
If it is beyond what you can improve . get help.
Don't take guilt trips.
Go to the mall, the next county, a foreign country. but not guilt.
Tell the people you love,
that you love them .
at every opportunity.
Remember .
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,
but by the moments that take our breath away.
I read a story I really liked once (I think it was in Chicken Soup for the Soul). It was about a couple who bought a brand new car and crashed it. As soon as they got it repaired, it was stolen. The moral was "Honey, we can have a crashed/stolen car and be happy or we can have a crashed/stolen car and be sad. Either way, we've got a crashed/stolen car."
I really like this saying, and I use it a lot. Crap happens. You can try to keep a good attitude, or you can sulk about it. The only difference is how you feel. Crap will still happen.
YES..just keep saying to yourself.
"It's NOT forever!"
That's not totally realistic, but it is true that our moods are affected by how we choose to react to an event. I absolutely love the answer above though.
through some situations, yes. not all, unfortunately.
Yes, absolutely.
It requires changing your focus from the things that are disturbing and focusing on the things that are good.
In the Biblbe we are told to think on the things that are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, honorable, praiseworthy, anything of virtue or of good report. (See Philippians 4:8-10)
When my kids were little we used to do alphabet praise. Starting with the letter "A" we would thank God for everything we could think of that started with that letter. When we'd finish with "A" we'd move to "B' and on through to "Z". Try it sometime. You'll be amazed.
Wherever we fix our eyes/thoughts, our emotions are sure to follow. There is something good in everyone's life, everyday. Don't lose sight of those good things.
