How do you live a long life? Take a two-mile walk every morning before breakfast.
The most important thing in life is how you live your life. When you live well you will also extend your life span. Here are the top 5 secrets of living well and living longer:
1. One thing to treasure - Health
Only those people who are lucky enough to recover from critical illnesses
will appreciate and cherish good heath. How do you find out that you are in good health? It is very simple. You are fine when you don’t feel anything about your bodily functions. On the other hand, when you feel aches and pains here and there, these are warning signs that your health is not in order. Your health deteriorates over time due to the following:
• Eating irregularly
• Eating the wrong kinds of food
• Insufficient sleep or sleep late
• Lack of exercise
• Living in a polluted environment
• Negative emotions such as frustration, anxiety, hopelessness, a lack of confidence, and depression
2. Two things to be - Forgive and forget
To have a positive mental attitude is to forgive and forget what others have done to you. Holding a grudge and thoughts of vengeance will only hurt you more. You are not at ease. Your heart beats faster and your mind is under pressure when you fill your mind with anger and hatred. When you forgive and forget you are at peace, you let go and your mind is calm and cool. It is good for your soul and your spirit.
3. Three things to forget - Age, grievances, worries
There is nothing to be concerned about age. It has nothing to do with your state of health. As you grow older you are wiser and you are in better shape because you know more about healthy living. You are more mature and mellow. In short, life is more meaningful as you grow older.
Don’t complain and protest. For the things that you can change do change them. For those things, you can’t change just live with it.
I remember a beautiful poem about two days in your life you don’t have to worry about. One is yesterday and the other is tomorrow (enjoy the poem at the end of the post). When you live in the moment and do your best mindfully, yesterday will be a sweet memory and tomorrow will be as real as can be. Don’t worry, just be happy and enjoy this very moment.
4. Four things to have - A house of your own, something to do, a partner and friends
Life is wonderful when you have these four things. A roof over your head and you don’t have to sleep in the street. There is always something interesting to do to fill the time. There is someone to share your sorrow and happiness and your ups and downs in life. There are friends to be with so you are not isolated.
5. Five things to be happy with - What you have, a happy family, able to indulge in personal interests, helping others, and traveling
Happiness is to enjoy what you have and not thinking of acquiring what you don’t have in order to be happy. Happiness will not come because you will not be satisfied with what you have. There are so many broken homes around and thanks to God that you are the husband and father of a few lively kids living happily together under one roof. Happiness is also doing things you enjoy or exploring new things in life. Doing random acts of kindness is a beneficial way to boost your happiness. What better way to enjoy life than to travel to strange places to know first hand the way of life of other people and marvel the sight and sound of foreign countries
Longevity is about looking after your health, self-love, a kind heart, healthy relationships and be satisfied and happy in life.
Wish you a happy and long life.
