I spoke of running to play golf earlier my good friend the well-known golfing writer Gary wiring tells the man in San

Francisco who jogs 6.7 miles every morning as the distance around Golden Gate Park he also walks five miles to

36:45

and from work he works as a banquet waiter boxes a couple of times a week and toss it in eight or nine games a

36:50

handball as you can imagine he's in magnificent physical condition he's also 103 years old

36:56

his name is Larry Lewis and he began running in 1876 at the age of nine and he's been running and keeping as active

37:02

as he was at that early age ever since he's made the comment that you should never refer it to a person as being so

37:08

many years old since old often means something dilapidated Larry Lewis doesn't intend to become dilapidated

37:14

especially during his second 100 years Gary wiring suggests that each of us should ask himself these questions are

37:21

my muscles getting soft and flabby do I feel chronically tired and dragged out Emma clumsy performing physical tasks

which once were relatively easy for me can I feel and see unsightly bulges of

Here's my best advice for keeping a younger attitude:

• Learn new things. When you try new things (brush up on a language, learn an instrument, read a challenging book, ask questions), your neurons will create new connections and even slow down the aging process of your brain. This is the concept of neuroplasticity, and it can keep your brain working better.
• Take breaks. You don't have to work all the time. Build time into each week to let yourself relax and have some fun.
• Stop being hard on yourself. When self-doubt and negativity creep in, take a beat and remind yourself that you're doing your best.
• Forgive and move on. One of the worst things you can do to increase stress in your life is to hold onto bitterness and grudges. There are people who will do you wrong, have toxic personalities, who have cost you time, heartache, and more. Don't let them wrong you even more by giving them any airtime in your mind.
• Celebrate life. Holidays, rituals, family gatherings, friends — lean into milestones and opportunities to connect with the people you care about.
• Love. Love your family, your friends, your pets, your life, and especially, love yourself. Indulge in love often and offer it generously. This alone can keep you feeling young and vital.
