How come? It doesn't matter whether others look at you or not. How you see yourself means everything.

We saw an article written by Jane in the WeChat group, and the partners talked enthusiastically about the beautiful love conveyed in the article. With curiosity, I clicked on the link and read it.

Sincere words and wonderful pictures will surely immerse you in them. This is a photo taken by Russian photographer Irina Nedyalkova for an old couple at the seaside.

The two people in the photo are gray-haired, but full of energy, which is more romantic and affectionate against the blue sea. They are more like two teenagers who are addicted to love than two old people. Young people are really not a matter of age, but a matter of mentality.

Allen Langer, a professor of psychology at Harvard University, believes that aging is an indoctrinated concept. When we think we are senile, we really can't walk. She said that she studied possibility, in other words, anything is possible in life. We are often bound by our thoughts, cultures and traditions.

As early as 1979, Professor Allen Langer did an experiment. In the old monastery in Pittsburgh, Professor Langer and his students carefully built a "time capsule", which is exactly the same as it was 20 years ago. They invited 16 old people, all aged 70 or 80, to live here for a week.

? During this week, these old people were immersed in the environment of 1959. They listened to music, watched movies and sitcoms in the 1950s, read newspapers and magazines in the 1950s, and discussed Castro's military actions in Cuba. The United States launched a satellite for the first time. They are all asked to live a more active life, such as setting the table and cleaning up the dishes together. No one helps them get dressed or walk. The only difference is that the words and deeds of the experimental group must follow the present tense.

They must try to live in 1959, while the control group uses the past tense-talking and recalling what happened in 1959 in a nostalgic way.

The experimental results show that the physical fitness of the two groups of elderly people has been significantly improved. When they first appeared in Langer's office, most of them were accompanied by their families, and they were old and faltering. A week later, their eyesight, hearing and memory were improved obviously, their blood pressure was reduced, their average weight increased by 3 Jin, and their gait, physical strength and grip strength were also improved obviously.

This experiment proves that aging is just an indoctrinated concept, and age is never a problem, mainly because of your mentality of living in the present. If you are focused enough, then you are living in the life you have experienced, and a good attitude will be young.

So don't always talk about age, you can't stand it when you exercise, and then use age as an excuse. In fact, it's just a matter of attitude towards life and your mentality.
