Would you want your mind to age to keep your body company?

Hullo jaiho! How are you? Good to see you back.

@allknowing

Good to see you. 'If wishes were horses beggars would ride'

@allknowing You are right allknowing! I , have a sweet tooth and though my father was a diabetic , just do have the occasional binge by way of ice cream or chocolate.However, since i have always been conscious of the quantity I am alright for e.g. won't take more than two small pieces of chocolate at a time .But fat does get accumulated and ti is seen on my calves.Need to exercise properly but I plead guilty!

Many a time and often if I may say so, our mind is not ready to accept it. See our food habits. We will still want to eat stuff that we really should not be eating. Then there are other activities that need to be restricted. But one can always make efforts for the mind to work in tandem with the body.

I remember an incident when an aged friend I know had hip surgery and she was advised caution. And yet she danced at a wedding. She developed complications. My dear friend is no more. Here her mind had not aged.

@allknowing thats sad, I guess we need to know our limitations ...I see all the botox cases gone wrong and wonder, exactly what have they achieved ? they know their age and everybody else around know their age , so what does it matter if there are a few wrinkles and lines on your face to show that you have become older and wiser..Once you accept the reality you are much happier and are able to keep fit both physically and mentally with ease !

@kiran8 Aging with dignity is what it is called. I even think of dentures. Dentures do nothing but inconvenience the wearer. Is there need to chew bones or bite them any more (lol)

@phoonk LOL Actually I just wish my mind was always as mature as my body so I wouldn't get into so much trouble!

That you will have to ask @Sparks as she says that she would like it that way!1

@allknowing Awaiting for answer! @sparkofinsanity

I am not sure about that unless you gulp down what is called elixir

Let us know if you are successful at that...........

Here it is only the mind that is at work.

@sofssu I suggested that to someone here. And Your uncle is doing the right thing.

@allknowing you cannot keep you body from aging unless you find the elixir of life. :)

Good to see you. I remember those wonderful interactions way back. You are right the less you think of it the better - just move with the flow.

Thank you for the headstart. Let's wait and watch.

@allknowing

@SIMPLYD The problem is when the mind if used to make the body do what it cannot do

It is very difficult for the mind to work in tandem with what the body tells us

@allknowing The body ages fast . But as to our mind , it can remain young as long as we want to.

If there was a best answer tag I would tag this . Conditioning our mind to work in tandem with our body is what is necessary. That is called art of living. But it is easier said than done. A lot of conditioning, as you said, is required.
