Mind Over Matter
What does your mind tell you? Verses what your body tells you?
When you are in your 20s... Mind & Body mostly agree.
When you're 30, Your mind sees you as 20. (10 years younger)
When you're 40, Your mind sees you as 30. (10 years younger)
When 50s... Your mind sees you as 35-40. (10-15 years younger)
When you hit 60 years old, your mind sees you still 45.
When you hit 60 years old, your mind sees you still 45.
Funny how your mind always see you as being younger.
Perhaps it's only natural.
Your mind seemingly refuses to listen to the body...
Not accepting the inevitable and unavoidable facts.
At 70, the mind occasionally accepts the limitations of the physical body. But being mostly healthy, the mind still rejects the limitations of the body. Therein lies the issue.
So... As the body ages, the mind remains younger. Our at least I hope this continues. So, as the years advance, how does one cope with a older body and a younger mind. First off... extra caution doing anything. Think about it twice, do once... okay, maybe three times to think. Extra caution on steps and ladders... and power tools... and even hammer and nails. Oh... and knives. Yep, that about covers it for now.
The rational mind... Knowing that you are clear to the end, than the beginning... knowing that there is little to be done about it.
So... Eat healthy... Live healthy... Enjoy everyday. Cherish your memories... Make new ones when you can. And save your photos and writings to reflect upon later. Be blessed with a clear mind but know that memories will fade... hence the photos & writtings.
Here's to always having a clear mind.
