Feeling at peace with the world and yourself produces a wonderful glow that I can only call "youthful." Once you let go of the ego's attempt to control your thoughts and allow your all knowing soul to take control, the stresses of life seem to melt away along with the frown lines. I have discovered lately that I react to negative circumstances because people expect me to, not because they really bother me. It is quite peculiar that folks don't like others to be happy all the time, or feel that someone is using you as a "doormat" if you don't react negatively to being "used" or slighted. I really just don't care anymore! My ego is no longer in control of my thoughts, my soul is in control of my life. It is a beautifully, age reducing feeling.
I had the lovely experience of paying $1453 to have my truck repaired, when there had been nothing wrong with it when I dropped it off. I'm sure someone else can relate. As I was paying the bill, the mechanic was discussing the good ole days, he was probably 30 something, when I mentioned that my family had lived in the area since the late '50s. He said, "you can't have lived here that long, you only look 38 or 39." If I had been stressed out about my truck, I might not have looked 38.
Anti-aging strategy: Don't sweat the small stuff.....you know the rest.
