5 DIY Anti-aging Tactics.
Do you want your life story to be a long and joyous one, without
having every line written on your face?
Yes, we all do! Is there anyone who doesn't want to look as good
as they can, for as long as they can?
While there are some very quick fixes such as, minor to major
cosmetic surgeries, there are some less extreme measures that
you can use to look and feel younger on a daily basis.
(1) Check your attitude! How do you feel about life? Is your
life going the way you want it to? Do you take responsibility
for what you have created, good or bad? How about accepting who
you are? Be grateful for what you have, family, friends, a job
etc. Then do an assessment of the things you want to change, if
any. Watch your self-talk, if you wouldn't say those things to
others, don't say them to yourself! Be aware of why you want to
make any change in your life. It must be something you have
committed to, else you will most likely fail and add one more
reason to criticize yourself.
(2)Know your nutritional needs! What you eat has a huge impact
on how you look and feel. The foods you eat help make and
maintain soft, smooth, glowing skin. Wrinkle free skin is
important in any anti-aging effort. The recommended daily food
requirements are good guidelins, but you must know how to
balance your food intake to keep your body performing at its
best. At any given age, we might need to boost specific
nutrients or hormones. Get regular checkups! Eat fresh fruits
and vegetables as snacks, instead of over-processed manufactured
"fast foods". Try not to rush your meals. When food is not given
enough time to be digested properly, it becomes a burden on your
body, causing un-neccessary wear and tear and premature aging!
(3)Take timeouts! When was the last time you had some fun? A
good laugh? If you cannot remember, it's been too long! Even if
you must laugh at yourself, find something to laugh about. Old
photos, old clothes you've kept that you will never wear again,
find something, anything. What about pampering? Done anything
special for yourself lately? A facial, or manicure? In -home or
at a salon, it doesn't really matter. It's the time you spend
just focusing on yourself that will make you feel special and
cared for. We all need that!
(4)Be interested and interesting! Yes, we are all short on time,
we are busy people, but you must make time to be interested in
others, your community, the world. You will find that is the
only way to be interesting yourself. Learn something new, a
language, a new style of cooking or dance. Learn about a culture
that's different than your own. Ageless, interesting individuals
always seem to want to know more about life. Try not to pry or
judge, just be open to sharing opinions and knowledge.
(5)Groomimg is ageless! When did you last update your looks? A
new hair style or wardrobe is a very effective anti-aging
tactic. Today there are so many flattering styles of dressing,
everyone of us can find one that works perfectly for us. Subtle
changes in hair coloring can make you look years younger. Lose a
few pounds if you need to. There is a diet that will work for
you. Find skin care that's right for your skin type. Take care
of your nails and teeth. Beautiful well cared for hands is a
must for you, if you want to appear younger!
Anti-aging is more a matter of making the most of what you have,
than the sporadic and temporary results gained by invasive and
expensive surgeries. Agelessness is more about maintenance over
the long-term than any qick fixes.
Meaningful beauty is not just smooth skin (which is nice) but it
is also an outlook on life, your life. Treat yourself and others
with respect. Balance your physical, emotional and spiritual
life. No one else can or will do it for you! Get rest when you
need it, play when you have the opportunity. Own your emotions,
accept responsiblity for your actions, apologise for your
mistakes, give and accept praise gracefully. One of the best
ways to anti-age yourself is to not only look good, but to be
pleasant and interesting to be around!
