We have a physical age and a mental age.. the physical age is determined by the year, month and date of your birth, while mental age is gauged by psychological tests.
However we do have another age determinant, our inner age. This is determined by how young or old you feel. This is a very personal thing, totally under your control . How we think and act, the activities we involve in.. all determine our inner age.. this age may often not be in sync with your physical age.. there could be a mind body disconnect.. amazingly there is no major issues in day to day functioning..
How old or young do you feel.. Is it in sync with your current age.. or is it much younger.. Has it helped you to live life better?

I feel young, free by the lamb and so alive! I thank God and His Holy Spirit for allowing me to feel this way. =)
Being around kids so much helps too.

@LovingMyBabies feeling young and energetic is awesome.. does your body cooperate with your mind?

@sofssu I have taken good care of my brain by remaining active but when it comes to my body thanks to that accident I am forced to go slow. If that was not the case I couldhave easily competed with the one you see in the video - worth watching if you have not already
See more from Britain's Got Talent at http://itv.com/talent Simon's not strictly in the mood for ballroom, but Paddy & Nico have much more in store than firs...

@sofssu I guess so.
There are a good number of people who think I look younger than my age. I've actually put up 28 years old as my age and I've gotten away with it.

@allen0187 Doesn't matter what they think, but why would you feel older.. is that because that makes you feel wiser?

@sofssu Yes. But it depends a lot on how my legs hurt.

I always feel many years younger and very young when I listen to my favorite music but then I suddenly catch myself in the mirror and really get shook up like Elvis shake rattle and roll

@sofssu I even have a bottle full of bubble liquid that I can blow anytime I really feel blissful. Just sitting outside and blowing bubbles in the wind.

We have a saying here "kalabaw lang tumatanda" or, only the carabao are getting old. Men here wouldn't accept they are old especially when performance is concern, so I may say, I feel like 30 years old.

@ilocosboy Maybe you are mistaken, I think a lot of women feel younger .. this coming from a woman.

Ahh I love this post!!!! How old or how young you feel depends all upon one thing, the way you think. I am only in my early 20s, however, I am wise beyond my years. While my friends sit there and envy god knows what on social media, I find myself curious about the world. I am one of the very few people in the world who genuinely listens to someone when they talk.
I have a veryyyyy strong personality and I have the ability to think for myself. My friends may call me rude, but all I do is challenge others to be the best versions of themselves. Not only do I have my young friends coming to me for advice, but adults often ask me as well. Decision making, your thought process, and you’re approach on certain matters throughout life defines the age you feel.

True, your ability to make decisions and live wisely is a part of how old you feel within. but that is one side of life.. the other side of life is the very act of living life common place and enjoying it too.
Its important to be young at heart for those who are growing older.. for you at this age that really isn't a need..
I am happy for you.. its hard to find serious minded young people who are not so distracted by the silly things they are caught up with today.

@sofssu well yes you are right of course there is the other side of life where you are living it to the fullest and enjoying it. However, life is what you put into it. Unless you are suffering from personal issues whether that may be physical or mental, it’s about being positive. Ah we find ourselves self pitying so much more though. But thank you very much I really appreciate it!!!! Being young at heart is also about being optimistic, we all get old one day! Plus, in my opinion, older people are far more wise and far more interesting people anyway!!

I always feel younger than my age and do not think too much about the real age. You are as young, as you feel in your heart.

@sofssu Yes, we could think the way we want and not the way others want us to think. We have our desires, thoughts, wishes and we should try to work towards those, without thinking about our age.

@dpk262006 Agreed.. no point feeling beat up and old .. we have the choice to feel what we want irrespective of how the body behaves.
