You can take control of the aging process and rediscover years of youthful vigor by going on a Word Watch, and getting into Thought Sport. Get back those long forgotten years. Use the following suggestions and you will observe a transformation in both the way you look at others and the way they look at you. 1. Decide to Go on a Word Watch You Word Watch by taking control of what comes out of your mouth. Also Word Watch when you write anything or use a computer keyboard. Rework your vocabulary to fill your speech and print outs with words that speak more often of the future than the past. Speak and write with a sense of excitement about your future. Speak of it with full conviction that the best years of your life are ahead of you. Communicate with those who are much younger than you, wherever possible. At Church, at the mall, at the community college, on the Internet. The possibilities are limitless. Share your experiences. Gently correct any who refer to you as old. In love let them know you don't feel any older than you were 30 years most of the time. Say you're older but will not accept the "old" label. They'll have a new regard for you and will treat you in the way you expect. Tell all who listen you've given up retirement and have decided on Refirement. You will need to explain Refirement is the opposite to retirement. Share how you've entered a time of rediscovering yourself and your skills and abilities. Make sure they know you are passionate about putting these skills to work to generate a prosperous future. Future years of youthful vigor will be yours as long as you stay on a Word Watch. 2. Make Yourself Get into Thought Sport Experts worldwide agree, that baby boomers and those in the years beyond 60, must keep their mind active. The Bible exhorts us to be transformed by the renewing of our mind. The truth is that you are what you think you are. Join the swelling ranks of Refirees, not to be confused with retirees, who have embraced Refirement, and have decided to get into Thought Sport. Your suggestions for Thought Sport include starting a Bible study group in your home, enrolling in an online program in Internet marketing, or attending a community college course on how to set up your own small business. You are never to old to keep your mind in top performance mode. Consider the example of Eric, Australia's most mature small businessman. At 103 he drives his own car and manages a home based business. If there was an Olympic event for Thought Sport Eric would be a Gold Medalist. All of us who are younger can be assured of a long season of "renewed youth" when we choose to stay in Thought Sport. Following through with these suggestions will make sure you get control of the aging process and, are blessed with fresh regard from those you meet, plus future years of youthful vigor. |
