Aging with a Plan.

by Abed
(India)

I am a moderately healthy man and reaching 60 years of age.

During my service of more than 35 years in and Indian Pharmaceutical Company, my work place felt like my home. Now since I am just nearing my retirement age this makes me a feeling that I am getting old and may be sidelined at my own home and suspect that my happiness may be deprived of.

In order to deviate from this feeling, I have made it sure that I should feel young and for this, I have made following list which I hope will be helpful for those who might have the same feeling of getting aged:

1. Feel young at heart, not reminding myself that I am old.

2. Taking activities duly enjoyed by the youngsters which will helps me to learn new things and enjoy youngster's company.

3. Closely monitoring activities and life of young generation

4. Constant exercise daily - possibly in the early morning and evening

5. Taking standard vegetable diet as fat/overweight makes feel older.

6. Good sleeping with essential rest.

7. Sharing a sense of humour with your young partners as keeping good cheer is very much important for good health.

8. Keeping quiet, not losing your temper and be patient, supportive and loving relationships.

9. Keeping busy with any activities - sometimes social, residential, gardening, etc., Here I am very much helpful with my yoga. Ayurveda is much helpful.

10. Maintaining a positive outlook towards life.

11. Appreciating myself, be gentle to other's feeling with a very patient hearing to others grievances.

12. Avoiding comparison with others.
