You Might Be 50 Years Old, but How Old is Your Attitude?
Perhaps the most refreshing thing to observe is the 60 something that has an attitude of feeling younger and vital, and still useful. They are so refreshing to be around as you hear their little giggle and see the subtle twinkle in their eye.
We refer to this as their "brain age" or "mindset". It's their attitude and their approach to how they deal with life's up's and downs that are constantly amazing. Most of the time, these people realize that trying to control every situation and outcome is impossible. Most of the time their motto is similar to, "just do the best you can", and be done with it.It's the very act of trying to control everything and everybody that will cause you to lose control. Then you will find your attitude will suffer. this will allow us to be a cranky, old, brain-age person.
Much like a child who is playing quietly with his or her toys, and just then another child tries to take it away. This results in a tantrum, and a screaming episode usually follows. Some adults seem to adopt this reaction when things do not go their way. They tend to scream and holler and generally throw a fit. Many of us have witnessed this in the form of road rage.
Because you may be 50,60,or older, you can "choose" the attitude within you to roll with the punches. It is possible to weather a storm with a happy heart. We DO get to decide how we will react. It's not a given, we choose. Don't let negativity take it's toll on you and your health.
It's okay to act silly. It's okay to choose not to react to all of life's issues. Remember to pick your battles. The choice is completely yours. Make a WISE ONE.
