Children are more expert in happiness and faith than adults and indeed the adult who can carry the spirit of a child into middle and old age is truly a genius. Why?
Well this is quite simply because such an adult will preserve the happy and carefree spirit that only the young seem to be endowed with and this of course will be vital and necessary for anti-aging.
This reminds me of a lyric from a one of the songs on my Ipod: "With a child's heart...nothing's gonna get me down"
If you are a Jackson 5 fan or a lover of good ol' soul music, that lyric should come to mind, it was sung by a pre-adolescent Michael Jackson and it brings to mind that even aging can be stopped (or at least slowed down) if your heart remains child-like.
Not childish, but child-like.
That friend is the optimal tool for anti-aging.
Remember, as a man thinketh so is he. If you think old, you will be old, if you think young, anti-aging will come naturally.
This is not to say, exercise and diet should be kicked out of the mix, no..., they all need to go hand-in-hand. But the most effective anti-aging exercise is perhaps thinking with a child-like quality in regards to life.
Remember the quote by Jesus "Unless you are like a child, ye shall not inherit the kingdom of heaven"
He went on to say: "The kingdom of heaven is within you"
And what is the kingdom of heaven? Happiness, Bliss, eternal youth...qualities we all seek with the various anti-aging strategies we try.
Keep in mind that laughter, keeping company with friends and family (that raise your spirits), interacting with children, animals and nature and just remembering to take things easy are other factors that aid in delaying the aging process and retaining the child-like outlook on life, when needed.
Getting older or having spent more time on the earth doesn’t have to equate to ‘growing old’, You too can reverse (or slow) the aging process.
Having a Child’s Heart could be the first step.
Here’s to staying and feeling younger looking AND to health.
