We all like to receive those compliments where someone thinks we are a good few years younger then we actually are! Here are a few simple tips you can apply to your thinking that will change the way you look at age.

1. Throw out nonessential numbers.

This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay them!

2. Keep only cheerful friends.

I'm sure you have spent time with someone and walked away feeling so heavy and burdened. These people age you! They seem to always have problems and issues that they need to talk on and on about! They will pull you down. I'm not saying you do not see them, but just limit the time you spend with them and focus on the friendships that uplift you.

3. Keep learning.

Try and learn and new skill every year. It may be to learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle.

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud.

If life and responsibilities have been getting you down and you feel burdened, go see a comedian and laugh and laugh! You will feel so much better afterwards!

6. The tears happen.

Life is not always easy and it is not always lovely. But, remember that the only person, who is with you your entire life, is yourself. Be ALIVE while you are alive.

7. Cherish your health.

If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

8. Don't take guilt trips.

It can be so easy to ponder on what life could have bee if only.... don't do this. You will end up spiraling down and down! If you are not happy with life, set a few goals to change the things you need to change. Focus on the future, not the past.
