7 Ways To Feel Younger!
With a raise of hands who is feeling the signs of aging?? I swear every time I look in the mirror I see more gray hairs popping up! This getting old business is for the birds! I am not a fan! Who’s with me?! I wish I could boycott getting old, but apparently it has to happen…Some law of nature that really is just not fair.
But as much as I have to admit how much I hate getting old… it does have its perks! I pay way less for car insurance, and I have a heck of a lot more money in my bank account AND I am way more secure! At this point in my life, I am very comfortable in my own skin! That has taken a long while. And getting older has helped with that!
Now for the fun part… Yes, we are getting older! But what can we do about it to feel YOUNGER and more ALIVE?!?
Here are 7 sure-fire ways to feel younger!
Drum roll, please…..
1. Get your SLEEP! A body that is rested properly has more energy and vitality. Aim for 8 hours every night! For tips on that check out this post.
2. Eat CLEAN it’s amazing how energized you will feel after a couple of weeks of skipping processed garbage and eating healthy whole foods. That alone will take off 10 years! Whenever I start to feel sluggish and crappy it typically has to do with how I have been eating… As much I wish I could just eat cake all the time. 🙁
3. Take time to PLAY! I want you to honestly ask yourself when the last time you actually let go and just played??? I bet it’s been a bit! This past weekend I went to a bloggers conference and the wrap-up party involved dancing… There is something completely freeing about dancing your boo-tay off and not caring a dang thing about what others think. I’m pretty sure there were some who thought I was three sheets to the wind 🙂 But who cares I had the time of my LIFE! And I felt like a wild teenager again, it was liberating.
4. EXERCISE – This one should not come as a surprise since I am pretty evangelical about the need to exercise. Exercising will help keep your heart healthy and help decrease stress and give you a much-needed mood boost… But here is the caveat; you must pick something you love! If you hate running and dread it – don’t do it! Pick something you love and bring you happiness whatever it is!
5. TREAT Yo’ Self – Pampering yourself and taking time for yourself will help you feel rejuvenated and help recharge your batteries! Bonus points for a fabulous facial! Which is a great way to keep your skin looking younger! 😉
6. BE POSITIVE! Age is way more about how we feel than an actual number! The more positive and hopeful we are the brighter we shine. We’ve all met that one person who looks 20 years older just because they are sooo negative! Don’t be that person! 🙂
7. MitoQ – About six months back I was asked to review MitoQ – I really love the product! It helps me feel younger and more energetic while taking it! So what’s so cool about MitoQ you ask? MitoQ (pronounced My-toe-Q) is a brand new type of antioxidant called a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant, that has the potential to slow the aging process. (Yep slowing aging at the cellular level- Can I get a Hallelujah!?) Since my review, MitoQ has also been selected to participate in the NIA’s Interventions Testing Program due to its ‘significant potential to reverse or decelerate the aging process! (Super cool, right?!?) Plus MitoQ won Product of the Year for 2015, by an independent product review site, ‘Truth In Aging – This stuff is pretty much amazing especially if you are in your late 30s to early 40s or beyond… {Cough cough not to say that I am… lol} You need to check it out!
MitoQ is a fantastic investment in your health! If you want to try it out for yourself and see if it helps you look and feel younger, as it did me. Grab a bottle on Amazon!
I wish I had a picture of me dancing at the blogger conference – because that would leave you laughing for sure! But I’ll leave you with this… Because ultimately we are as old as we feel!
Laughing and trying my best not to worry about too many things! 😉 Those are my ways I stay young 🙂
