The youth and elderly are differentiated by the fact that youths live on hope while the old have lived through it and experienced it. Cynthia Olsen taps into her experience in 7 Steps For A Healthy Youthful Midlife and Beyond book to share her experiences and those around her on living an enjoyable life at this stage. Here are some of the highlight tips she has given that will transform your life.

There is nothing like midlife crisis. You will encounter real crisis in life that will deserve that name. When you use such heavy and negative words over yourself, it becomes difficult to face the things you will encounter. The truth is that history has stories of people who changed their lives in their 50s and even 60s. You still have the opportunity if you approach it positively.

Get off the routines. Routines are advocated when beginning a journey. In fact, this is one of the pillars of success because it brings certainty. However, when they dominate your life, they will work against you. Drop them and begin to explore other options that reinvigorate your being.

The age debate will mislead you. The society sets standards for people based on their age. However, those are expectations of other people and might not resonate with your own. They will only make you to feel bitter and an under achiever. Forget what your age mates have done or are doing. Chat a new path that introduces you to new cloths, dance moves, places, etc. Engage in new things that make you happy.

Shut the negative thoughts about self. It is true that some of your friends have achieved more than you. It is also true that some of your dreams remain etched on paper. While these are realities, do not berate yourself. Rather, focus on the achievements you have already made. This will give you the push you need to become a better person.

Old friends are to be kept even as you make new ones. New friends introduce you to new experiences. However, the old will keep you grounded and remind you of your foundations and dreams. They are treasures that should be kept. Dropping them means that you will lack a history.

Make an investment in your mental and physical health. There is a tendency of people overworking and forgetting their health, only to spend the money in hospitals. Fill crossword puzzles, learn a new skill like piano and write poetry, among other things for your mental health. Exercise, eat right and spend time outdoors for your physical health. Enter into competitions and challenging activities just to keep yourself youthful.

Milestones are to be celebrated. People stop celebrating birthdays because they think they belong to children. Celebrate them like milestones to remind you of what you have achieved. The minute your life lacks celebrations, passion goes and interest in the important things in life also. By celebrating, you have new fire to take you to the next level.
