Best Aging Secret

According to Deepak Chopra, it is making time your friend.  Are you always in a rush?  Do you feel like time is slipping away from you?  Do you wish to be “young again”?

Deepak Chopra

“In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you.”  Deepak Chopra

Chopra asks,”What is your relationship with time like?”  There are things like deadlines that make time stressful and nerve-wracking, but there are thing we enjoy doing that make time seem to “fly.”  When you have too much to accomplish in what seems like too little time, there just aren’t enough hours in a day.  Even going to bed with too many uncompleted tasks can make it feel like time is your enemy.

Some of the damaging effects of running out of time are high blood pressure, imbalanced hormones, digestive problems, insomnia, increased susceptibility to disease, anxiety and depression.  These can all be reversed, says Chopra, when you have a good relationship with time.  The relationship between time and your physical being is very real.  Life rhythms such as your breathing and heartbeat are like clocks and other body rhythms are in sync with them.  When these body rhythms get out of sync, aging increases.

It is beneficial to keep time your ally.  We would all be better off if we could live as if we have all the time in the world but most of us have to just work at better time management and doing some simple things to make our body rhythms stay in sync.

Disorder in your life may be a good place to start.  Skipping breakfast or driving to work in a panic because you get up too late, wasting time looking for something in your office, tripping over something out of place are all symptoms of disorder.  When you put your life “in order,” you may find that you have more time than you thought you did.  When you have more time for the fun things in your life, you’ll find that your body rhythms fall into sync and you feel more energized, alert, and alive.  You’ll also stay younger longer.
