A Youthful Life Begins With This Anti Aging Solution

Most of us would probably like to get back some of those years from our youth. Those nostalgic times when we had less responsibility, more energy and a more carefree outlook on life. The truth is that even if we could get those days back, they might not include some of the richness of our current life experiences. So, in our search for an anti aging solution, maybe the best of both worlds is to incorporate a youthful outlook into our lives, where we are now.

A youthful outlook can mean many things, but for the purpose of this discussion I will focus on how it can be related to stress. This is not to say that everyone comes from a stress-free youth. For some people, certain stages during youth are quite stressful and can be hard to overcome. As for me, I do remember times in my youth that were completely stress-free. I think that that had less to do with the circumstances of the day, than my attitude toward them. There just was not a lot of worry that the Earth was going to spin off into the Sun, if I didn’t get things just right.

Fast forward to today. What is a reasonable way to avoid the stress of deadlines and commitments and still not rearrange the solar system? First we have to be ready to give up the stress. Stress can certainly be addictive. Sometimes it feels like stress is the only source of energy that we have. The next key to our anti aging solution is to realize that we often have little influence on the outcome of a particular situation. Sometimes we do, but just as often we don’t. Try noting your effect on a situation, in which you are not in a position to make any of the critical decisions. The likely hood is that no amount of worry on your part will result in a change in the outcome. All you have done is to increase the level of stress on your body, which leads to disease and helps the aging process along.

There is a great little prayer that asks for the courage to change what can be changed, accept what can’t be changed and the wisdom to know the difference. That is very powerful. If you can incorporate that mentality into your life, you will have embraced one of the best anti aging solutions possible.
