– William James, psychologist and philosopher
Do you know anyone in your life who is a grumpy old man or woman? They don’t even need to be chronologically old – they simply act old by:
- Looking for what’s wrong in things and others
- Being skeptical and cynical
- Being overly serious
- Not smiling enough
- Not looking for the beauty around them
Exercise:
To clear out your arteries and find your own fountain of youth, try:
- Finding what’s right and what works
- Being open and receptive to the thoughts and ideas of others
- Working on building your funnybone and your sense of humor
- Smiling and saying “thank you” more often
- Creating a daily gratitude and/or beauty journal to begin seeing the world with a lighter heart
