Longevity tips for your 30s
As you type your 30s, expectations tend to run high.
Guess what: They dont.Nobodyhas it all together at 30.
I promise you, life is not passing you by!
Nobody has it all together at 30.
This is why its so important to resist comparing yourself with other people.
Instead, start interacting with them.
Look for nurturing relationships that involve good conversations, honesty, and acceptance.
The same goes for your relationship with yourself.
When you treat yourself with love and respect, youll draw more love and respect from others.
If you internalize this belief in your 30s, it will serve you well for the years to come.
Its Amazing How Its All Connected.
By the time youre in your forties, you know who you are and youre making things happen.
You have expertise, confidence, and some inner wisdom.
(And you’re able to monetize that, too!)
Your 40s are an excellent decade.
Its also a time of change.
Here, youll want to amp up your diet/exercise/sleep strategy.
You may need to change the bang out of workouts you do, but dont stop moving!
I also recommend that you stop drinking caffeine and alcohol.
Both affect hormones, and youre going through hormonal changes.
Why compound something thats already affecting how you feel?
Or perhaps you and a partner have grown apart over the years.
This is the decade to re-evaluate and reinvent.
This is the decade to re-evaluate and reinvent.
Youve already achieved personal milestoneseducation, relationships, parenthoodso this is the time to explore who you are now.
The process of change is rarely easy, especially if its long overdue.
But by pursuing the life you want, youll create a future that looks like that.
You have so much common sense (another name for life experience!)
and your lifes purpose is very clear.
Thats what you get to work on during this decade.
Its the real reason you are here.
Reject the false notion that aging means youre no longer relevant.
In this decade, health issues arise more frequently.
Some are genetic, and we cant change whats in our genes.
Others, though, can be avoided or well-managed through diet, exercise, and sleep.
(Sensing a pattern here?)
Be open to new ideas and possibilities.
Everything fell into place.
Im in my 70s now, and things feel like an evolution from how I felt in my 60s.
I feel even better and more intense about life and my purpose.
As for the 80s and beyond?
Give me a few more years to get there, but I feel confident that theyll be uniquely rewarding.
And if you care for yourself beginning todaywhatever your age!yours will be, too.
