Aging Gracefully – Why Maintaining Your Health Is Imperative.
Nobody needs to be reminded on what aging
gracefully maintaining is and why maintaining your health is very imperative as
we see a lot of people on different age brackets and see what is happening in
their lives in terms of health.
In most cases it really isn’t something
good to write home about and in many cases however it is a great to see the
outcome of lifestyle choices in aging for different demographics.
What
It Is:
Great improvements in medicine, science and technology have enabled today’s older ones/people to live longer and healthier lives than any previous generation. Yet many of them fail to make the connection between undertaking healthy behaviors today and the impact of these choices later in life.
Research has established that there are distinct advantages to physical exercise, both aerobic and weight-bearing. Individuals should design a program that is right for them, easy and flexible and can fit easily into their regimen or schedule.
Remember – “stagnancy is death and movement is life”
What
It Means:
Aging Gracefully – Why Maintaining Your Health Is Imperative is seen In Africa and Nigeria in particular, where the older generation are used to Manuel labour on their farms or have workers with them while they occupy the supervisory roles and at the same time doing little bits of the job here and there. The result has been seen in their excellent health and figure even up to advance old age.
Most of them are happy in their comfort zones and leave the little ones with the pursuit of money, more money and even more money while they simply look on living a simple life grateful for all that they have. In this simple state of mind, they have peace and their positive emotions create their happy state and life.
In the cities however, the desire for money and property keep people awake even when they should be asleep for the body to build, repair and re-build itself to create a system in harmony and great health. But alas that is not the case and the body system goes out of balance and soon creates “body signs and symptoms to show that you are out of tune ad need to fine tune the system.
What Should Be Done:

Most hospitals treat the symptoms as
it presents itself as that is how they see it without understanding that for
good health to be restored then the principle of life (the principle of the
three must be restored)
· Body
· Mind
· Spirit
Moreover, screening programs can lead to preventive measures and early treatment interventions that can substantially reduce the impact of illnesses among older people provided they follow the principle outlined above.
How
To Resolve This:

These words of Inspirations
from the enlightened ones will serve you even more:
“I wish I could show you
when you are lonely or in darkness, the astonishing light of your own being”.

“Within you is the light of
a thousand suns, within you is unimaginable beauty”.

“Don’t you know it yet, it
is your light that illuminates the worlds”.

Taking responsibility and
recognizing that we cause all of our core issues is not a reality for most
people.
Taking responsibility to see
life differently without justification, judgement and blame, rejection or
anxiety, fear or anger would really help you in the long run.
Every condition, disease or disorder is a spiritual
condition that has come up for review and to be dealt with and taken care of.
Once the lesson is truly learnt and absorbed, the conditions or situation
reverses itself and clears out and that’s when we say a healing has occurred
and a miracle has happened.
Every problem preludes a negative thought and mindset so
watch your thoughts and emotions carefully and guard them jealously.
Nothing can stop you if you have the courage, commitment
and the discipline to move through your limitations.
‘Let yourself be drawn by the stronger pull of that which
you truly love’
The purpose of life is to discover who you really are,
know and create yourself and experience yourself as who you really are (not the
body that houses you) as a part of the divine source to give and receive love
and serve all creatures of the divine.
As long as you don’t or you refuse to see yourself as a
victim then life becomes a challenge that you can overcome with commitment and
consistent work and it will pay you back handsomely.
A lesson you avoided in a past life will be forwarded to
the current life until you get the lesson right or understood the reason for
it. Each time the lesson is more intense, than the last experience until you
recognize it.
This is an interactive universe where we all work
together in each other’s lessons and life whether we want it or not or whether
we are aware of it or not.
Our fears always surface when we least expect it and when
it does, its better to face the lesson and conquer it.
You can take back control of your life and drive it the
way you would rather want it to be and have things and have things the way you
want it to be.
It takes taking responsibility for all the wrongs that
have happened in your life because whether you agree or not, you are held
responsible for all your:
1. THOUGHTS
2. WORDS
3. ACTION
Nobody wants to listen to your cry of wolf or denial or
victim mentality and it won’t take you far except you sit still, take stock of
your life and determine and desire to turn it around and that’s where and when
the answers or solutions come in.
If and when you are now truly ready to take back control
and look out for the patterns and lessons in your life to understand the mind
aberrations that are causing your problems and have taken control of your life.
That’s when the creative centers open within and you can
finally have the tools to help you change the course of your life and manifest
your destiny.
To succeed in life, you must refuse to see yourself as a
loser no matter what the prevailing situation or condition might be and you
evaluate what you can do to succeed.
The most important qualities are self-esteem, self-worth
and self-confidence and that you understand that you are entitled to abundance
in your life.
You can do anything you want to and be anything you want
to, provided you believe that it is possible.
Victims do not hold that belief!
So ask yourself – are you a victim?
Sometimes a little help from a Therapist or Mental Health
Consultant like myself and a host of others can help guide you on this journey
into an amazing life that is yours and yours only.
