Ageless Challenge, a proposal for ageless living

What are you imagining? Is it actual age, physical appearance, or level of mental maturity? Or, all of the above?

Even if you avoid talking about getting old, you will not get old because of it. Only when we understand it and face it can we have a chance to get better and better.

 "I am seventy years old and I am challenging myself!" - "The Challenge of Agelessness"

The author of this book, Dr. Lin Jingyun, is the first female surgeon in Taiwan and a recognized authority on plastic surgery in Taiwan. It is really suitable for her to share the theme of "not getting old" with you, since she is still full of energy and continues to see the doctor!

In particular, the clean layout and layout is also a major point of the book. Enlarged word level, comfortable line spacing, clearly marked dividers, and even stories of just the right length, the entire book, from the cover to the text, is quite friendly to all kinds of people. When reading The Challenge of Ageless, it was like a pleasant and relaxing journey, everything was just right.

Shh...tell you a secret

 "A person without age, no matter how old, is not called old." - "Chapter 1: Challenge Yourself"

What is the meaning of age? Watching the numbers gradually rise year after year can be incredulous to many. At our current age, we simply can't imagine who we will be ten years from now.

What is the so-called old age? In our traditional cognition, this means that the original body function will decline, some old problems will start to appear, or at a certain moment in life, you will find that things that were easy to do before start to require effort to do... Is it such a terrible thing? Can we change our perspective and embrace the old and be happy?

In fact, no matter what the age is, it is only a reference value. We should not set too many restrictions for ourselves because of our age, the important thing is to adjust our mentality. Staying curious about things, participating in activities you truly love, and sharing everything you've learned are all things that can be done. The ideal old age can't just be said orally, it has to be created by one's own hands.

When we concentrate on enjoying life, we will not grow old, remember one sentence: the heart of youth never grows old !

Remember the Four Ways of Life

 "I hope we can express the love in our hearts and create memories for each other. Even if the time to part comes, we can say goodbye without regrets." - "Chapter 2: To Love and Be Loved"

The so-called " four ways " refer to apology, thanks, love, and goodbye.

The Four Ways can be applied to anyone and everything, such as doing the Four Ways to old items that can no longer be used, to your beloved animal family, and thank them for spending time with you.

In every moment, I really give immediate feedback to the things around me, and I will not have any regrets in my heart. Because when you are doing the Four Paths, you are consummating a relationship.

Picking up and putting down, these are the inevitable processes we must go through on the road of life.

When two people meet each other, it also symbolizes the beginning of goodbye. Nothing is constant. The only person who will accompany you from beginning to end is yourself. We must recognize this matter. Being able to get along well with yourself is a very lucky thing; being able to have a relationship with others is also a very happy thing.

Humans have always been social animals, and our lives are made up of many interpersonal relationships. In every relationship, we try our best to fulfill the fate, apologize calmly, thank you happily, don’t be stingy with love, and say goodbye generously. Everything we do is for nothing else, just to be able to walk with ease and style. .

Healthy body and mind

 "If there is pus in the tissue, it must be drained; if there is something in the heart, it is easy to cause illness. Only by telling the story can the disease be cured." - "Chapter 3: Enron Health"

What is health? This question is the same as the old one, everyone has their own ideas.

It is not that the body is healthy without being sick, it also represents a state of mind and body. Many people care about physical pain, but ignore psychological discomfort. In my opinion, perhaps when our body and mind can find a balance, then we can be called true health.

In the third chapter, there is a subsection titled "Sick people, especially should not be pessimistic", and I am particularly impressed. Everyone has more or less the experience of being sick. When you are sick and your body is weak, your emotions are naturally easily affected. The book mentions that human beings have two kinds of responses when facing stress: threat response or challenge response. Pessimistic people are more likely to feel threatened, while optimistic people will face it with a spirit of accepting challenges. When the two respond in different ways, there will naturally be different consequences.

To give an example of myself, in fact, in the beginning, every time I got sick, I used a threat response method. Negative voices will continue to appear in my heart, yelling at myself: Why is it happening again! Why is it me again! Not getting better at all! What's the use of taking so many medicines! I can't control it if it wants to relapse! I get angry with my body and take my anger out wherever I can think of it. But even if I lose my temper, the pain in my body will not go away. Every time I see a rash on my face, hands, and feet, it feels like my body is laughing at me. Even if they cry with all their might, they are still there.

After going through this process several times, I had an attack when I suddenly realized that it wasn't going to go on like this and that I had to deal with it in a different way. In fact, if you think about it carefully with a calm head, you will know that cursing like this is useless. But at the moment, I just can't calm down to do so, and after repeating the experience so many times, at that time, I decided to try to face the disease in a new way.

The new way has brought me incomparable peace and stability in my heart. I have never felt so peaceful when I was ill. Although the pain in my body still exists, I know that my heart is refreshed. I didn't know it was a challenge response at the time. I just decided to use it as a "Daguai Diary". Face it as if you were going through a barrier, and list items such as taking medicine, exercise, and spa treatment as your daily homework. When you are done, mark the items down, and then say to yourself, "I'm great." When I started doing this, all the negative emotions in the past disappeared in that voice of encouragement to myself.

The challenge response does exist. If everyone can know this way of coping with the disease, then when the body is unwell, at least they will have the confidence to know how to adjust their mentality, and will not continue to fall into a negative cycle, causing physical and mental pain. situation. Body and mind complement each other. When all three are in balance, true health is achieved.

Smart use, healthy movement

 "Health is actually "subtraction". When people live in the world, it is compared to who loses less when they reach the end. "Reducing damage" is the best way to keep healthy. "——"Chapter 3: Enron Health"

The subsection's title is rather humorous: "Are you building or destroying when it comes to health? >. Wrong maintenance methods will cause our health to lose speed. In fact, to maintain health, the most important thing is exercise, diet, and a good lifestyle. Although we need to see a doctor when we are sick, it is impossible for us to see a doctor every day. Only we can be responsible for our own body, so daily self-management is very important.

So what can we usually do? The book specifically mentions the concept of "health bankbook", which are brain power, bone base and muscle, which are all good references. To maintain the flexibility of the mind, supplement calcium to protect bones, maintain muscle endurance, etc., everyone should more or less Few have heard of it, and there is an elixir that can perfectly achieve these effects - exercise !

To live, to move. Humans are moving creatures, there is no other shortcut to maintain health, only movement. Seeing you here, you must be sitting somewhere reading this article, right? I've been sitting in front of the computer for a while now, so let's get out of the chair now and let's move our muscles together!

Finally, I would like to bless everyone with Miracle's formula for healthy mind: " Use the content of this book wisely to move healthily! "
