Do you ever wonder why some people seem to exude happiness and positivity, while others seem bogged down by life?
Many of us are living the same comfortable life every day. Each day becomes the same unremarkable routine. We can become complacent, content to stay within the comfort zone of predictability.
Keeping our lives full of new fun, challenging and educational experiences contributes to keeping us youthful, mentally sharp and physically healthy. It can even slow down the aging process. Trying new things is the elixir of happiness, through all stages of life.
Switching up routines and engaging in new activates can have a measurable positive effect on your mind and body.
Staying mentally and physically active is important at any age. This is especially true as we age and our daily responsibilities lessen. Retirement is a time for reduced stress and carefree days, however, this is when it becomes most important to keep the little gray cells energized.
Having the courage to seek out new activities, to learn new things, to take a few steps out of the comfort zone can mean the difference between aging quickly and pushing the aging process back to enjoy life.
Without this courage, we can become dull, inactive and without purpose, which can lead to a host of negative effects.
When folks become complacent mentally and physically, the aging process hastens. As we age, brain cells don’t synthesize the same amount of dopamine, also known as the “happy hormone”. Muscles weaken and bones become more fragile. All of these changes translate to a lack of energy and a general feeling of lethargy.
There is hope! When you decide that you want to feel better mentally and physically, take a big step outside of your comfortable routine and try new things.
There are so many ways that learning and participating in new activities can benefit both mental and physical health.
With courage and the determination to move out of your comfort zone and experience new things in your life, you will reap so many benefits, both physical and mental. Take back your life and be your best self.
