After years of taking care of others, It’s time to take good care of yourself. Some tips you may want to consider:

Exercise physically –  Stretch and keep those arms and legs flexible. Join a walking club and walk as much as you can.

 

Exercise mentally – The more often you use your brain, the stronger it gets. Pick mind challenging activities such as crossword or logic puzzles.

Establish strong social networks – Have an active social life. Try ballroom dancing or organize regular get-togethers with friends. Being with friends reduces stress, anxiety and depression. Countless studies have linked an active social life to better mental health.

            Remember, growing old gracefully is all about unlocking the still-untapped potential that each one of us has for love, growth and happiness. Enjoy your years !
