Life can begin at 55, It is all in your hands!

Many people feel unhappy, health-wise and security-wise, after 60 years of age, owing to the diminishing importance given to them and their opinions. But, it need not be so, if only we understand the basic principles of life and follow them scrupulously. Here are ten mantras to age gracefully and make life after retirement pleasant.

1. Never say "I am aged" :
There are three ages, chronological, biological, and psychological. The first is calculated based on our date of birth; the second is determined by the health conditions; the third is how old we feel we are. While we don't have control over the first, we can take care of our health with good diet, exercise and a cheerful attitude. A positive attitude and optimistic thinking can reverse the third age.

2. Health is Wealth:
If you really love your kith and kin, taking care of your health should be your priority. Thus, you will not be a burden to them. Have an annual health check-up and take the prescribed medicines regularly. Do take health insurance coverage.

3. Money is important:
Money is essential for meeting the basic necessities of life, keeping good health and earning family respect and security. Don't spend beyond your means even for your children. You have lived for them all through and it is time you enjoyed a harmonious life with your spouse. If your children are grateful and they take care of you, you are blessed. But, never take it for granted.

4. Relaxation and Recreation:
The most relaxing and recreating forces are a healthy religious attitude, good sleep, music and laughter. Have faith in God, learn to sleep well, love good music and see the funny side of life.

5. Time is Precious:
It is almost like holding a horses' reins. When they are in your hands, you can control them. Imagine that everyday you are born again. Yesterday is a cancelled cheque. Tomorrow is a promissory note. Today is ready cash - use it profitably. Live this moment; live it fully, now, in the present time.

6. Change is the only Permanent Thing:
We should accept change - it is inevitable. The only way to make sense out of change is to join in the dance. Change has brought about many pleasant things. We should be happy that our children are blessed.

7. Enlightened Selfishness:
All of us are basically selfish. Whatever we do, we expect something in return. We should definitely be grateful to those who stood by us. But, our focus should be on the internal satisfaction and the happiness we derive by doing good for others, without expecting anything in return. Perform a random act of kindness daily.

8. Forget and Forgive:
Don't be bothered too much about others' mistakes. We are not spiritual enough to show our other cheek when we are slapped in one. But for the sake of our own health and happiness, let us forgive and forget them. Otherwise, we will be only increasing our blood pressure.

9. Everything has a Purpose:
Take life as it comes. Accept yourself as you are and also accept others for what they are. Everybody is unique and is right in his own way.

10. Overcome the Fear of Death:
We all know that one day we have to leave this world. Still we are afraid of death. We think that our spouse and children will be unable to withstand our loss. But the truth is no one is going to die for you; they may be depressed for some time. Time heals everything and they will go on.
 
Absolutely right, despite the circumstances one grow to that age the points you hinted out provide the true basics of leading a happier life at an old age. Good article to ponder
 
OK Zurie, but I am confused.
Is the article your work or from a different source?
I have to ask because of THIS
 
Niliona programme moja kwenye TV, America heart surgeon aliwasisitizia wagonjwa wake wafanye mazoezi, yule baba nyumbani kwake basement ametengeneza gym yake mwenyewe. Ana miaka 90+ bado anapractice kama heart surgeon, on his own private clinic. Anawork out one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening. Ukimuona unaweza kufikiria ndiyo ameheat 60.

Kuna health programme nyingine niliangalia, mama wa miaka 80 ni model, tena yuko vizuri ajabu kama wa 50. Wanasema kutokana na kukua kwa technology, magonjwa mengi yanagunduliwa na kutibika. Kama watoto wanaozaliwa sasa hivi, watakula vizuri achana na maburger. Watafanya mazoezi na kufanya medical check up regularly especially at 40+. Wanaweza kuishi mpaka miaka 150.

Logically real ukifuata discipline either religious or opt for healthy life style unaepukana na misukosuko mingi ya maisha.

1. Hakuna dini inayoruhusu ulevi. Pombe inatengenezwa na sukari, hivyo ukinywa pombe kila siku ni kuwa unaongeza kiwango cha sukari katika damu yako. Ukiwa na afya njema mwili unauwezo wa kuregulate sukari lakini ukizidi kuuchosha mwili na kazi ya kuregulate mwisho unashindwa kufanya kazi hiyo unaishia kunapata diabetes mellitus.

Ini pia ni chujio la sumu zote zinazoingia mwilini, pombe ni sumu ya aina yake, unapokunywa pombe kila siku unalichosha ini.

2. Hakuna dini inayoruhusu ngono zembe, pia kiafya unajua ngono zembe ni mwanzo wa maambukizi mengi kama HIV, Hepatitis B and C nk. Na mengine mengi.
