It would be nice to feel as energetic as you did at the age of 20. To feel a surge of inner strength and confidence that whatever you undertake, you can do it.
According to Caroline Adams Miller, author of Building a Better Life, this can be achieved by following simple rules.
Therefore, to bring back youthful ardor, enthusiasm and optimism you need to:
Go to bed early
The most effective way to restore strength is sleep, during which our body is restored and filled with vital energy. In the modern world, most people are too busy to afford a full rest, and this is precisely an important factor affecting our health.
Eat healthy food
Change your diet and be sure to include fruits and vegetables. Vitamins and antioxidants will fill your body with energy and add vitality.
Do some sports
In this case, properly selected strength exercises will come to the rescue, with the help of which muscle fibers will become more elastic and the body will be less vulnerable to injuries and bruises. During training, use exercises with dumbbells.
Take care of your appearance
You shouldn't go to extremes and visit spa salons every day, but you can't neglect your appearance care procedures either. Set yourself up for the fact that you can look good at any age. Take time to take care of your hair, skin, teeth, and you will feel young and confident.
Take action
Even if you have already taken the first steps to change, do not stop. To feel young and full of energy again, take on something new, something you have not tried yet. This method can be called shock therapy for the brain, but pain has nothing to do with it, only drive and new sensations. You can change everything - from your usual route to work to visiting discos, museums or courses that you wanted to sign up for, but never did.
[ Back to the past
If you loved rock, jazz or another musical genre in your student years, then remember the past, download a few tracks and dive into the past. According to scientists, nostalgia for the past will give you the opportunity to “try on” the image of your youth, and will not make you feel like a “fossil”, as many believe.
Positive always and everywhere
The world is cruel and youthful optimism has died down a bit, but this should not prevent you from “switching off” the pessimistic mood in yourself, which dulls the colors of the surrounding world, which is still so beautiful and impressive. Try not to dwell on negative emotions, live in the present and cultivate a positive attitude in yourself.
