Wild Cat Tips for Monday, January 21st
"How to Stay Young"

• Quit beating yourself up about things you can't change--like your age.
• Spend time with your upbeat friends. The mopers will only drain the enthusiasm from your life.
• Keep exploring. Never lose your enthusiasm for new people, places, and ideas. Do not let your mind idle. An idle brain is the Devil's workshop--and the Devil goes by the name Alzheimer.
• Laugh out loud and laugh hard. Laugh until your sides hurt and you're gasping for breath.
• Seize every opportunity to control your own life. The feeling that your life is out of your control leads to stress and aging. Maintaining a sense of control can help you weather stress like water off a duck's back.
• Crises happen. Grieve, accept, adjust, and move on. The only person who is with you your entire life is you. Be gentle and forgiving with yourself. Do your best, and let it go.
• Your home is your safe and comfortable refuge. Surround yourself with the passions and loves of your life, whether it's family, pets, gardens, or friends--connectedness and social relationships will buffer you from stress and prevent premature aging.
• Safeguard your health: If it's strong, protect it. If you have issues (as we all do sooner or later), address them. Almost anything is fixable if you seek help for the problem rather than ignoring it.
• Try to do the things you fear most. When you confront your inner demons, they lose their power over you. Fate often saves the warrior whose courage endures. Courage is an acquired skill, like a foreign language or golf, that can be mastered only through regular practice.
• Skip the guilt trips. Take a trip to the lake, to the coast, even overseas; but NOT back to where the guilt lives. Regrets will take you nowhere but down.
• Every chance you get, remind the people you love how special they are to you, and how much you love them. Cherish the moment; celebrate your chance to be alive now.
