Must Have Tip for Aging Well

So many of my clients share with me the comments from other medical professionals that sound like this:

"You're not young anymore!" or "This is just what happens at this age..."

I think those statements are true for most people because so many of them are making the same choices as they age.  Think about it for a moment.  You move a lot in your 20s - getting together with friends, going out dancing, playing sports, etc.  In your 30s you're settling into a career and starting a family.  By the time you've reached the 40s, you've had 10 years of a lot less activity on top of a lot more sitting.  When you make it to your 50s, you're wondering what could possibly have happened cause now there is that nagging knee thing, or the shoulder isn't quite right, or you have to 'baby' your back.

At this point, you've said to yourself "I can't _____ like I used to!" far too many times and you begin to believe you can't do much of anything anymore.  While it's totally true that you can't _____ like you used to, it's not because of your age.  That's the excuse.  That's the fallback.  That's the myth.

The truth of the matter is that you haven't done _____ since your 20s when you did it nearly every weekend.  It doesn't help that your mind remembers how wonderful it was but doesn't take into account  1  how long it's been, and, 2  the fact that you didn't maintain the endurance, musculature, or flexibility to do it.

So the tip to aging well is to keep doing.  If its been a long time, go slow and ease back into it.

If you have an ache or pain that is preventing you from even starting, call for a complimentary 15 minute AGE-LESS consultation: I'll show you how to eliminate the problem and you'll be doing again in no time.
