Feel Younger Now

Stop waking up in the morning and dreading having to look in the mirror because you look old. Instead, wake up to a relaxing full-body stretch and yawn unapologetically. Smile afterwards and see if that doesn't help you feel younger.

If maintaining a youthful state-of-mind was as easy as that, everybody could just wake up to a good mood. Well, that can be a start. However, staying youthful means more than just those fancy chemicals advertised on TV promising you a youthful glow after seven days or so.

If you really want to take feeling younger seriously, first, examine the things and the values which are attributed to aging.

SAY YES TO FUN

Remember when you were a teenager? When the world seemed to lack boundaries and when rules are made to be broken? Feel that rush. In order to feel younger now you will need to make some adjustments. Its just that when we get older, our priorities can become skewed. Readjust them again and insert some fun into it. Eat ice cream in a cone, swing on a swing, ride a bike; these are simple ways to feel younger now.

TURN THAT FROWN UPSIDE DOWN

If you're in a stressful situation, smiling will ease the tension. Moreover, notice the women over 40 who always smile. They have an unexplainable, beautiful, youthful aura that works like an invisible halo that makes them always pleasing to the eye. You too, can be like them. Its all about attracting positivity in your life. Start by smiling.

GET THOSE MUSCLES MOVING

Get those muscles moving! Take an early morning walk or jog and release more endorphins! Try walking to your destination instead of driving if possible. Or at least park farther away and walk.  Its about time that you get out of your home and welcome the world outside!

If you haven't exercised in a while you might try backyard sports like Frisbee, badminton and croquet. However, if your time is limited, try doing a fifteen minute full-body stretch right after you wake up. It gives you time to wake up and plan your day ahead. Moreover, it also improves your flexibility.

The best thing about this is that you don't have to eat  special foods or buy special equipment. Youth is all about embracing life to the fullest.
