Luckily for us in this day and age, we all look much younger
than did people our age fifty, or even thirty, years ago.
The great advances made in our knowledge of nutrition and
their application by most of the population are in part
responsible. The same factor has a lot to do with our
feeling younger. Another contribution to our ability to look
younger is our increasing knowledge of how to use makeup,
clothing, cosmetics and other things to help achieve our ends.
Your philosophy of life is the most important single factor
in determining the way you look and feel. It is, after all,
the basis of everything you do, whether you've consciously
formed such a philosophy or not. One cannot exist without
it, but many people are unconscious of having one.
First, decide what's important to you and what isn't. This
philosophy of yours goes into every area of your life and
affects every member of your family. It should, therefore,
in most instances, be a family-shared thing. You and your
husband and children can well work out a family plan for
living together. Some families would rather leave a bit of
dust on the furniture and under the rugs if it means they
can have junkets together to the beach in summer and the
skating rink in winter. Others would rather never go anywhere
than occupy a dusty house for one minute. Each attitude is
very much the business of the person who adopts it, though
frequently neither person has the slightest understanding
of the other.
In our quite proper eagerness to look and feel younger, do not
let any one of us lose track of the fact that maturity is a
condition greatly to be looked forward to and desired. Maturity
is a state of mind. It does not mean old age. It can happen to
people at almost any stage of life. And immaturity is a sign of
a lack of development for the chronological age one happens to
have achieved. When you reach maturity you are self-disciplined,
thoughtful, understanding, self-confident, and most of all
loving - of yourself and other people, despite acknowledged
faults.
The way you decide to keep your mind lively and stimulated is
up to you, but do realize that the best way is to encompass as
must of the world around you as you possibly can. One of the
best ways to be stimulating and interesting and thus attractive
and desirable to others is to decide what work you'll do in
our community - and do it. What about your participation in
community activities? In other words, it's an absolute certainty
that there are all sorts of interesting things going on around
you; to become involved in them will not be at all difficult
and will add variety and spice to your life as well as to
that of others.
There's another characteristic of youthfulness - optimism. You
needn't be a pollyanna to be optimistic. You need only to have
the happy faculty of looking on the bright side of things, which
is really a habit of mind. Pessimism puts wrinkles in your
forehead, draws down the corners of your mouth and makes you
very unhappy, usually for no reason at all.
Looking and feeling younger is first of all an attitude of mind.
But it is a great deal more than that. You might try to just
think yourself younger in appearance and in spirit and find that
nothing much happened at all. It takes real work and enthusiasm
in a variety of areas to gain the end results!
