5 Tips for Reinventing Yourself
1. Don’t act your age or at least what you think your current age
should act like. What was your best year so far? 28? 40? Now?
Picture yourself at that age and be it. Some people may say this is
denial, but we say it’s positive thinking and goes a long way toward
feeling better about yourself.
2. Be positive in your conversations and your actions every day.
When you catch yourself complaining, check yourself right there
and change the conversation to something positive. (Tip: Stop
watching the police reports on the local news.)
3. Ditch the downer friends. Have negative friends who complain
all of the time and constantly talk about how awful everything is?
Drop them. As cruel as that may sound, distance yourself from
people who do not have a positive outlook on life. They will only
depress you and stop you from moving forward. Surround yourself
with energetic, happy, positive people of all ages and you will be
happier too. (Tip: Smile often. It’s contagious and wards off
naysayers.)
4. Walk like a vibrant, healthy person. Come on. You can probably
do it. Analyze your gait. Do you walk slowly because you have just
become lazy or, perhaps, have a fear of falling?
5. How’s your smile? Research shows people who smile more often
are happier. Your teeth are just as important to your good health as
the rest of your body. Not only is it the first thing people notice, but
good oral health is a gateway to your overall well-being. (Tip: Go to
the dentist regularly and look into teeth whitening. Nothing says old
more than yellowing teeth!)
