Have you reached your 40s? Do you miss the old you? It is common to get to your 40s and start reminiscing about the past. You miss the person that you were and the energy that you use to have. You lose the skin that you had and the way your hair looked.
Many of us look for ways to get the old versions back. We want to feel young again. After all, age is just a number, right? We are only as old as we feel!
Well, it is time to feel like you are in your 20s again. Here’s a look at the best tips to do that right now.
Get the Thought of Age Out of Your Head
One of the first things you will need to do is change the way that you think. There are plenty of people in their 90s that still look and feel like they are 20 years younger. They go walking and kayaking, enjoying every minute of their lives. They do not see their age as a deterrent.
Too many of us see age and think we are too old for something. At 40, we feel like the best years of our lives are over. People have expectations of us, whether it is raising a family or being sensible in a career. Sure, there are some things that we need to do. If you have young kids, you cannot just abandon them and throw caution to the wind. However, if your kids are already grown and out of the house, you can think about the way 20-somethings lived, and you have a little more freedom.
Get the idea of expectations for your age out of your head. Remember that you are only as old as you feel. If you let expectations drag you down, you will feel older than you are.
