It would be nice to feel as energetic as at the age of 20. To feel the inflow of inner strength and the certainty that everything, for whatever you undertake, is all under the power.
According to the author of the book "Building a better life" by Carolina Adams Miller, this can be achieved by following simple rules.
Therefore, to return the youthful fuse, enthusiasm and optimism is necessary:
Go to bed early
The most effective way to restore strength is a dream, during which our body is restored and the body is filled with vital energy. In the modern world, most people are too busy to afford a full rest, and this is just an important factor affecting our health.
To eat healthy food
Change the diet and always include fruits and vegetables in it. Vitamins and antioxidants fill the body with energy and will add vitality.
Go in for sports
In this case, correctly selected strength exercises will come to the aid, with which the muscle fibers will become more elastic and the body will be less vulnerable to injuries and bruises. During exercises, use exercises with dumbbells.
Take care of appearance
It is not necessary to go to extremes and every day to visit spa salons, however, you can not neglect the procedures for taking care of the appearance. Adjust yourself to the fact that you can look good at any age. Take time to care for your hair, skin, teeth and you will feel young and confident.
Act
Even if you have already taken the first steps in order to change, do not stop. To feel yourself again young and full of strength, take on something new, not yet tried. This method can be called a shock therapy for the brain, but there is nothing to do with pain, only drive and new sensations. You can change everything - from the usual route to work before visiting discotheques, museums or courses, which you would like to enroll, but have not done so.
[Back to the past
If in your student years you adored rock, jazz or other musical direction, then remember about the past, upload a few tracks and plunge into the past. According to scientists, nostalgia for the past will give an opportunity to "try on" the image of youth, and not make, as many believe, feel like a "fossil".
Positive is always and everywhere
The world is cruel and juvenile optimism has subsided a little, but this should not prevent you from "disabling" a pessimistic mood that damps the colors of the surrounding world, still so beautiful and impressive. Try not to focus on negative emotions, live the present and educate yourself in a positive attitude.
