Let's start with telling you the
truth! Yes, life is not going to be easy on you! It will even become harder as
you age and reach your senior years. Truth!
So, what are you going to do
about it? Will you keep complaining, keep getting frustrated and stop giving in
at each and every step of your life? Will you keep getting slanted and accept
knowing that life is simply like that?
Or will you start tackling the
problems with a mindset of winning, learning and getting better with each
obstacle life throws at you way?
This definitely is the better
option as what will we gain out of being pessimistic and sad at the fact that
life will never be easy? What will come out of us if we keep struggling and
suffering, whereas we can just embrace our difficulties to grow and enjoy the
struggle?
Yes, I may sound strange but I am
telling you the truth.
There are some very promising
studies conducted that have asserted again and again that simply having a
positive attitude towards your life adds years to your life. In other words,
your attitude determines how long and how healthy you will live. The most
prominent of these studies is the one conducted by the researchers at the Yale
and Miami University and they have found out that positive thinking and
optimistic attitude can add as much as 7 and a half more years to your life.
So, the choice is upon us! And we
from Comfort Keepers are here to help you achieve the positive state of mind
and being. Follow these simple tips and contact us to know more.
Read Motivational Books
There are so many books out there
on this topic of positive attitude and how to build and sustain it that you may
get lost while finding out which one would be better. So, we have sorted the
most suitable ones for you. Have a look at these two titles- “Live Long, Die
Short: A Guide to Authentic Health and Successful Aging” by Roger Landry and
“Keep Moving: And Other Tips and Truths About Aging” by Dick Van Dyke.
Watch Inspirational Videos at Ted
There are plenty of great
inspirational speakers out there whom you can access on YouTube Ted talks
channel. Tune in and listen what they have to say. You will find ample amount
of high energy positivity within you.
Unlock Your Untapped Potential
We all have some of our own
unique strengths and weaknesses. We may have passed all of our lives without
really realizing those. So, try to find out yours, you may never know what
awaits to surprise you. On the other hand another approach at getting back at
life could very well be overcoming our weaknesses or turning them into
strengths. Just take as example Fauja Singh who picked up distance running at
the age of 89. Thanks to his positive thinking, we saw him celebrating his
100th birthday by crossing the finish line at the Toronto Marathon.
Redirect Negative Responses
Simply put, when we feel tired we
feel like just lying down and giving up for the day! And the cycle continues.
What you can do is to choose not to feel tired by making some lifestyle changes
and leading a routine life. Start regular physical exercises and meditate or do
yoga! Or even better make a list of all the things that you think you can’t do
and move on to accomplish each one of them. And know that you can!
You Are Never Too Old
The old saying that you are too
old to start new things has really become old. In reality, you are never too
old to embark on new adventures and start new projects. Keep living your life
like it really is- infinite and eternal.
For any kind of help and support
regarding senior care and well-being do not hesitate to contact Comfort
Keepers.
