Staying Young

In order for your body to stay healthy, you must get plenty of rest.  You shouldtry to go to bed before midnight if possible.  It's important that you at least getbetween 6 to 8 hours of sleep a day.  Each individual is different.  Some needmore hours, others need less.  Only you would know how much sleep you need.

If you deprive yourself of the sleep you need, you will start to feel it.  Your bodycan slow down from a lack of sleep.  If your body starts to slow down, it could bea sign that you're starting to age, which is what you don't want.  If you continuewith this route, your lack of sleep can cause you to get wrinkles, making you lookolder than what you are.

Did you know that lack of sleep can harm your brain?  You can't function or thinkproperly if you don't get enough sleep.  You need to get enough sleep becausewithout it, you won't be able to connect to information that you need to commit tomemory.  If your memory is failing, then people may consider you as  "old" .

Don't Feel Guilty
Aging can come on you when you're faced with unnecessary pressures in life.You can be blamed for some of the unhappiness that someone else is dealingwith and it wouldn't be your fault.  However, since you're closest to them, theyhave to blame someone.

How you are affected by it, or rather how you allow it to affect you can make thedifference in whether or not you choose to rise above it.  Allowing situations toaffect you that you have no control over does nothing but bring stress and grief.

We all know that stress is an anti-friend to staying young.  You may have todistance or even break off from that person in order to get the peace that youneed.

It's good to have a few friends around to keep you company.  You don't have tohave an army full, just two or three is fine.  Besides, if you had so many, howwould you be able to keep up with them?

Living longer and staying young also depends on your circle of friends.  Theycan't just be any friends.  They must be people of substance, people that will be with you in good and bad times.  They must be people that won 't put you downwhen you make a mistake; instead they will lift you up with encouragement.
