Scientists say there is a link between a person’s IQ and how they relate to the aging process. What many people don’t realize is our age is directly proportional to how we regard ourselves and how we feel. The tips we’ll provide you in this article will help you stay young for a longer time.
Take proper care of your health
Smarter people usually take better decisions about their health. Always stay informed, get regular medical checks, cultivate a conscious and relaxed attitude with regard to your health, taking into account the old dictum “Mens sana in corpore sano!”.
Become more open to experience
People who are open to new experiences are associated with a higher IQ. This may be due to the fact that a higher IQ helps us to process complex information more easily, increases our curiosity about the world, and feelings such as enthusiasm, curiosity and livelihood make us feel younger. In fact, opening up to new experiences is one of the “Big Five” personality traits and is therefore recognized as an important feature throughout life.
Always try out new thing
When did you last do something for the first time? You should be doing it all the time! Those who practice only stability and routine can never become adventurers, and they will not be able to live their lives at its true intensity. By trying out as many new things as possible and keeping our minds open to new ideas we will keep our youth for as long as possible.
Adventure, experience, emotional stability
Balanced thinking does not only provide a healthy lifestyle but also longevity. It is very important to know how to adapt to the situations that life puts us through and not to perceive the events in a very personal manner. It is important to see the full half of the glass, and always keep in mind that it’s not the events that matter, but rather the way we interpret them.
Leave the past aside
Make sure you live in the present, not in the past, and continue to make plans for the future! Psychologists say the elders live in memories, and the young people with their plans. From the moment we begin to relate to the past as if the future no longer exists, the aging process speeds up a lot. The psychologists’ advice is to make sure that we always have new projects in mind for the future, do something for those around us, get involved and share the experience and wisdom we have accumulated.
Many peple find it harder to regard themselves as “active” after a certain age. It’s extremely important to take note of the fact that we can be just as young or old as we set our mind to believe. When it comes to how we percieve our age, mentality is everything.
