It is not a new concept that “you are as young as you feel”. This is great news, unless of course you feel old.
As we wake up to live today, we must let go of old and outdated beliefs. The symptoms that we attribute to old age are: slowness, feeling aches and pains, poor vision and hearing, forgetting important information, getting sick, etc. These are all the same symptoms of toxicity. Quite simply, when we do not release toxicity, we age.
So how about? Do you want to grow old or grow old? You have a choice. The sooner you activate your rejuvenate option, the sooner you can feel healthy, young and wise.
“I am young, I am joy,
I am a little bird that has come out of the egg.”–James Matthew Barrie
I have chosen the above quote for its charming meaning of youth. A baby chick or bird works hard to get out of its egg. The mother bird can help a little, but it is the determination of the baby that breaks the calcification of the eggshell.
breaking your shell
What is calcification on your eggshell? Is it anger or jealousy? Is it a memory of the past or fear of the future? Is it competition, separation or the cult of money?
Knowing what you have to go through is important for your evolution. However, it is not necessary to dwell on it or analyze it to the point of exhaustion. Simply acknowledge the breakthrough topic in a word or two and then… move on.
The chick needs to recognize “shell” or “calcium”, even using its nutrition. He doesn’t blame his mother or God for putting the shell there, nor does he get angry that the shell didn’t break earlier. The girl just knows, now is the time! And is born.
thoughts create reality
What a great power it is to know that thoughts create reality! If you can’t accept that this is true, assume for a few moments that it is. If your thoughts create your reality and you are not happy with your present reality, all you need to do is change your thoughts. The level of consciousness with which you put thoughts into the universe determines the speed with which the new reality manifests.
So if you have an untenable relationship with your boss and you accept this condition as truth and affirm it in your internal dialogue, you continue the relationship as it is. However, if you feel that the awkward aspects of the relationship are temporary and can be changed, you take the first step in changing the relationship. It’s not just positive thinking (although it’s a good start). The change must be deeper than just “thinking.” You must believe it, deep in your heart. You should know that it is possible. You must feel the idea too. A passion for change ignites the vision that puts the new reality within your reach.
Maybe you’re not that excited about a change. That’s fine too, because you can just relax and let your reality change. Letting go of the belief that you must control the outcome is an important part of the change process. If your thoughts are positive, optimistic, and joyful, changes will occur in those directions.
And in case everything I say is wrong, consider how much more satisfying your relationship with your boss will be if you have positive thoughts and compassionate feelings and see both of you as capable of change.
Youth Activities
Play. Play what you like to play. If your “game” is competitive or intense, find some leisure game to balance the intensity.
Laughter. laugh at something Or just laugh. Laughter brings oxygen to your body and exercises the internal muscles and facial muscles.
Play with children. I recently visited a friend who is a retired kindergarten teacher. At 66, she looks 46 and has the spirit of a 22-year-old.
Monitor your internal dialogue about age. Listen to yourself. For example, you say… “Oh God, I really feel old today.” Or, “Well, what can you expect after age 40?” Or, “I’m too old to…” Stop, stop, stop! These and many other beliefs and expressions are responsible for the aging that you observe and accept as inevitable. These false beliefs become real only because many people believe them.
Listen to guided visualizations. Many are on the market. You may want to focus especially on health, wellness and vitality or other attributes that we associate with youth. We even have some online for you to listen to with my healing voice.
See yourself as a child. Find a happy image of yourself at an early age, say between 3 and 6 years old. Look at this image often. While you may not want to be three years old again, or even eight years old, you do want the childhood feelings of wonder and fun. At your maturity, you can claim these. If you want, you can take a look at me at 3 years.
Take care of yourself. Do those self-care steps that you think support your health and well-being. Do this for one reason only: self love!
