I find it so interesting that we grow up having certain beliefs about style and age. Because I usually work with women 30+, the subject of aging and different aspects of it does come up quite often.
On one hand, there are so many worries which stem from our beliefs as well as expectations of the wider society of what is appropriate and what not, how one should look, what colours and lengths we should bid farewell to once we hit certain age mark. On the other hand, there are those questions of how to maintain that youthful look and how not to feel old.
The way we look and feel about ourselves depends on how we approach the different forms of age:
Chronological age is our actual age based on when we were born
Biological age is the measure of how well we function and look physically which depends on our lifestyle, habits, energy levels and our image
Psychological age is about how we perceive life and ourselves; our mindset and outlook on life
As much as we do not have a power to stop our chronological age, we are in a total control of our biological and psychological age! A number can be truly just a number if we make a decision of how to live our life, how to take care of our bodies, our image and our attitude.
Many of us belief that youth is more attractive and more desirable; we tend to yearn to go back in time to look like we did 10 or so years ago. But when you pause and really think about your life experiences, how you grew as a person and what you have learnt; would you really want to go back in time? If we make a conscious decision of embracing our current selves with this wealth of experience and wisdom, it will be easier to focus on taking care of our internal/ external image as well as our outlook on life.
In this post, I want to share some tips on how to boost our biological age and ensure we maintain that youthful look.
