Eight innocent behaviours that age you twice as fast

I don’t know about you, but I love life enough to want to experience it for as long as possible. What do we do that ages us in mind and body?…CONTINUE READING

Here are my thoughts:
Ruminating on shit you regret.

There’s no more efficient waste of your time than sitting up in bed at 3am in the morning in a sweat, thinking about the time you said that weird thing and Shirley looked at you funny.

We’re all human, and we all do silly, dumb stuff. Regretting anything is never time well spent because you can’t change what happened.

You need to find within yourself the capacity to quickly move on from your stumbles and your perceived losses.

Letting go is a muscle, and you get better with practice.
Whining like a teenager.

Whining is to resist reality, and resistance is physical stress.

When we decide to whine about something we don’t like, we’re choosing to weaken ourselves physically.

Do this day after day after day, and guess what?…
A high consumption to creation ratio.

We’re all united on this Earth by a common, enlivening pursuit: to create things.

Whether it’s a piece of art, a book, a family, a cooked meal or a baby, this is what it’s all about.

So when we consume more than we create, this is the message we broadcast: I’m denying my humanity.

I’m closed to my alive expression, my birthright.

Ever noticed how some of the most prolific creators live so long?

So quit sulking, get off your arse, relocate your creative spirit, and do it with a ferocity that inspires your neighbour.
Skipping your daily walk.

Beyond documented records of some of the coolest, most inspiring people who walked regularly, you know how good walking is for you.

The physical and mental benefits are vast and far-reaching. Walk more to feel better today, be more creative, and to live longer.
