If you’re feeling sluggish or uncomfortable in your skin, here are some ways to look and feel younger than your actual age.
As you grow older, you begin to appreciate the subtle things that came with a younger age.
Whether it is running for miles nonstop – or having that extra moisture in your skin – the perks of youthfulness can often gone under appreciated – till their gone.
While there’s no way to reverse time and age, you can practice mindful steps that can get you closer to your goal of feeling healthy and young again.
Besides eating well and drinking water, these three creative ways (below) can get your youthful juices flowing again.
As you might know, I wrote a bestselling book called Happy Habits.
Inside my book I share a range of habits which boost happiness.
In my research, I learned about the top habits which predict greater happiness and health.
Coming up in this article I’ll be sharing some simple ways to look and feel younger than your actual age.
1. Smile More
Given life’s harsh circumstances, you may not smile as often as you did during your childhood. Perhaps life dealt you a bad hand, or a negative experience changed you.
Whatever the case, hiding your smile from the world only puts you at risk of aging faster than those who don’t.
Plus the opposite is also true. You can jumpstart a happier mood, by faking a smile – until you naturally can make a smile!
Consistently studies report that by smiling more often, you not only boost your lifespan – you also prevent a host of conditions that include stress, blood pressure, and low immunity from attacking you.
If you are not confident about smiling because you have bad teeth, these affordable dentures can help improve the quality of your smile.
Plus it helps if you surround yourself with people who make you happy – or do more things which make you happy. Soon you’ll effortlessly begin to smile.
2. Get a Pet
If you’re now in a situation where you’re spending more time alone, you might start to feel lonely. So you might want to get a pet. Whether feline or canine, pets are a great company that boost your activity level and social interaction.
When you’re active and outgoing, you feel better about yourself and live a happier and longer life than your counterparts.
To choose the right pet for you, follow this series of steps in your decision process:
Consider Your Lifestyle
Pets are attention-loving animals. When you have a day job or travel a lot, it becomes impossible to maintain an active dog, for example. Instead, take stock of your life and assess the pet options that align with your schedule.
Never Impulse Buy
Just because a pet looks cute doesn’t mean you should make a purchase decision based on your immediate feelings. Do a background check of a pet’s behavioral patterns and health before rushing to buy.
In addition, consider what the long-term repercussions of having a pet mean to you before committing to buy.
Assess Your Home Space
The amount of space available in your home dictates how large and active your ideal pet should be. For example, a less active pet would be more practical if you live in a small apartment setting than a high-energy one like a mature dog.
3. Get Busy Learning
Continuous self-development is the secret to staying active mentally and physically.
In addition, learning new skills is a great way to keep your mind engaged and develop a sense of purpose even at an older age.
With my various personal development video courses, you can learn important life skills to help you to live a life you love. Plus there are other courses out there – to help with basic skills that include culinary training, language development, or personal wellness.
While taking online courses may be more convenient, attending physical classes helps you foster new friendships and create happy memories that leave you looking and feeling younger.
Conclusion: Feel Younger Than Your Actual Age
No one ever wants to look or feel older. However, since aging is a must, the best you can do is try out the above techniques to try and limit the aging process and maintain high energy levels all through.
