Many people today are finding that at a later age the habits they held during their youth (teens through late 30's) do NOT hold up for positive health at a later age 40's plus. Basically the fast food diets, and fast paced, low exercise life is not a good stepping stone to live problem free for many years to come. Just remember that it is never to late to change your health and habits. Some say next week, next month and even next year.
But the reality of it all is that we have today this moment to change. The discipline comes in when we choose to stick to it through the tough times. When you are tired, stressed or unhappy, and you choose something greater for yourself than the negative old habits that pulled you through the bad times before. Everything gets better and today is the day to start something new and something better!

Suggestions for starting something great include:
1) Go for a walk
2) Do something nice for yourself. Find that special thing that makes you feel good. I am a pretty easy to please person at this point in my life, and a hot bath with candles and some meditative, calming music with an empty house does it for me.
3) If you can't be alone, take whomever with you to go somewhere you want to go, try somewhere new. It is probably best to be sure they will somewhat enjoy it, as you don't want to hear someone complain the whole time you are out. LOL!
4) Watch an uplifting movie, relax and cuddle up with a blanket and enjoy.
5) If you happen to have a fire place, use it. This can be extremely relaxing and soothing.
Enjoy your life this is all you have! Don't rush through each day, savor the moments and enjoy, enjoy, enjoy! And if you don't like your life CHANGE IT!
