5 DIY Anti-aging Tactics

Do you want your life story to be a long and joyous one,without having every line written on your face?

Yes, we all do!Is there anyone who doesn't want to look as good as they can,for as long as they can?

While there are some very quick fixes such as, minor to majorcosmetic surgeries, there are some less extreme measuresthat you can use to look and feel younger on a daily basis.

(1) Check your attitude!

How do you feel about life?

Is your life going the way you want it to?

Do you take responsibility for what you have created,good or bad?

How about accepting who you are?

Be grateful for what you have, family, friends, a job etc.Then do an assessment of the things you want to change, ifany.

Watch your self-talk, if you wouldn't say those things to others, don't say them to yourself!

Be aware of why you want to make any change in your life.It must be something you have committed to, else you willmost likely fail and add one more reason to criticize yourself.

(2)Know your nutritional needs!

What you eat has a huge impact on how you look and feel.

The foods you eat help make and maintain soft, smooth,glowing skin.

Wrinkle free skin is important in any anti-aging effort.

The recommended daily food requirements are good guidelines, butyou must know how to balance your food intake to keep yourbody performing at its best.

At any given age, we might need to boost specific nutrientsor hormones.

Get regular checkups!

Eat fresh fruits and vegetables as snacks, instead ofover-processed manufactured "fast foods".

Try not to rush your meals.

When food is not given enough time to be digested properly,it becomes a burden on your body, causing un-neccessary wearand tear and premature aging!

(3)Take timeouts!

When was the last time you had some fun?

A good laugh?

If you cannot remember, it's been too long!

Even if you must laugh at yourself, find something to laugh about.

Old photos, old clothes you've kept that you will neverwear again, find something, anything.

What about pampering?

Done anything special for yourself lately?

A facial, or manicure?

In -home or at a salon, it doesn't really matter.

It's the time you spend just focusing on yourself that willmake you feel special and cared for.

We all need that!

(4)Be interested and interesting!

Yes, we are all short on time, we are busy people, but you mustmake time to be interested in others, your community, the world.You will find that is the only way to be interesting yourself.

Learn something new, a language, a new style of cooking or dance.Learn about a culture that's different than your own.

Ageless, interesting individuals always seem to want to know moreabout life.

Try not to pry or judge, just be open to sharing opinions andknowledge.
