Tips From 7 Steps For A Healthy Youthful Midlife And Beyond Book

By James White


The difference between youth and old age is that youth rely on expectations and hope while old age is about experience. This is the experience that Cynthia Olsen has shared in 7 Steps for a Healthy Youthful Midlife and Beyond Book as she highlights the struggles of midlife and how to live an enjoyable and fruitful life. Here is a brief look at some of the tips given and how they can be applied in life.

There is nothing like midlife crisis. You will encounter real crisis in life that will deserve that name. When you use such heavy and negative words over yourself, it becomes difficult to face the things you will encounter. The truth is that history has stories of people who changed their lives in their 50s and even 60s. You still have the opportunity if you approach it positively.

Get off the routines. Routines are advocated when beginning a journey. In fact, this is one of the pillars of success because it brings certainty. However, when they dominate your life, they will work against you. Drop them and begin to explore other options that reinvigorate your being.

The age debate will mislead you. The society sets standards for people based on their age. However, those are expectations of other people and might not resonate with your own. They will only make you to feel bitter and an under achiever. Forget what your age mates have done or are doing. Chat a new path that introduces you to new cloths, dance moves, places, etc. Engage in new things that make you happy.

End the negative lecture about yourself. The reality is that some of your friends will ahead of you and there are childhood dreams that you are yet to achieve. This is not a reason to be harsh on yourself. The best way to cheer yourself is through positive words. They motivate you and give you the energy you need.

When keeping old friendships, it is time to create new ones. The fact that you are advised to create meaningful relationships does not negate the old ones. Old friendship will always remind you of the far you have come. The purpose of new friends is to take you to the next level. It will be a weak journey if you are going into the future without a past.

Make an investment in your mental and physical health. There is a tendency of people overworking and forgetting their health, only to spend the money in hospitals. Fill crossword puzzles, learn a new skill like piano and write poetry, among other things for your mental health. Exercise, eat right and spend time outdoors for your physical health. Enter into competitions and challenging activities just to keep yourself youthful.

Do not forget to celebrate the milestones you achieve in life. People begin to drop birthdays as age catches up with them. It is unknown to them that this also heralds loss of interest in their dreams and passion in life. Celebrate like children and remind yourself of the victories you have had. It will fire you into your next goal and achievement.
