How To Look and Feel Younger

There are so many things in life that are out of our control. We can do all the right things (train, eat well etc etc) and still be struck down with sickness and disease. We can train our butts off and be unfortunate enough to be in a serious car accident.

We are all fully aware that we can’t live forever, there’s no way around it…eventually our time will be up but what sort of life do you want to live while you are alive and in your prime years of parenthood? What sort of condition do you want to be in if you’re lucky enough to live a long life?

I truly believe that being physically and mentally fit and strong will make you more capable of handling life’s struggles and if you are fortunate enough to live a long life so many of your lifestyle choices will play a major role on how young you look and feel along the way.

Now there’s two types ages, your chronological age and your biological age. Chronological is the number of years you’ve been alive, biological age is how old a person seems, the age that their body resembles and or functions at.

For example; two people may both be forty years old chronologically, one of them could have a biological profile that is closer to thirty-four, whereas the other might have a biological profile of forty-seven. Who the hell over the age of 18 wants to look or feel older right!?

So apart from investing in some high quality anti-ageing moisturiser (lol), here’s a few recommendations to help you look and feel younger!

How To Worry Less By Focusing On What You Can Control

One of the HARDEST challenges I've found as a Dad is worrying about stuff that's out of my control.

I mean as soon as you leave the hospital for your first car ride home you're automatically a different person.

You start worrying about all the potential bad things that could happen, things you've never worried about before in your entire life!

And it's natural, it comes from immense love. This beautiful little bundle of joy depends entirely on you! You've never loved or cared about anything so deeply before.

It's an amazing thing, but it's also hard ha-ha! The thought of anything bad happening to them is crippling.

But it's easy in life to spend too much time focusing on things that are out of our control instead of the many things that we can control which is a much better use of our time and energy.

Here's a few things that we can control and some ideas on how to improve them.
