Keep your inside child awake for health and happiness...

We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing......
The child within you makes you creative, studious and fearless.

This makes you social, healthy ,open and peaceful.....

Play group gives happiness and inner peace.

Find serenity by hanging out with friends or doing group exercises or a group sport.
Experience it on your own and enjoy good health, happiness ,prosperity and peace in
your life. Many people who are chronically ill and distressed never figured out how to
rebound from a bad experience or change their perspective.
Friends who make you happy help you bounce back and regain your inner peace .

Think young and live long....

How old are you?
I am 70 years young....follow this philosophy, through out.....
How we think about age, can have profound effects on how we actually age. The idea that we can
think ourselves young ,our minds could cause changes in our bodies. It can alter your mind-set and
change your body. In our culture, aging (especially for women)equates with minuses, not pluses and
the negative stereotypes associated with growing older weigh heavily on us all.
Think young and acquire the abundance of energy-physical, intellectual, and creative-that accompanies youth: a strong heart and clear arteries, aerobic fitness and muscle strength, easy movement and good posture. Enjoy the counter-clockwise journey as a success in midlife and for decades beyond.
Seek out new experiences, make plans, embrace change, and stay flexible and resilient......

Stretch every day in your garden...

 If you have a passion for gardening, that's the best way to get stretched and relaxed. No worries if you don't have field..
You can do your horticulture therapy on your concrete floor....
Can enjoy fresh air, speak to your
plants, nourish them, take care them, have some fresh vegetables, fresh flowers and quality fruits....
The microbes in the soil may lift your mood .....All the day through out the year if you can spent half an hour in your garden,is equivalent to meditation....so go out to grow something of your own...

Smile at the world...the world smiles back...

Smiling relaxes you and eases stress....
Those who smile throughout the day by thinking positive thoughts are more serene overall.
Smiling does wonders lowering your body's stress response and others who come across you...
No doubt smile is a mood booster.....so lift the lip corners......and smile.....

Move your meditation outside....

The evidence for daily meditation is mounting. Continuous meditation can shrink a region of the
brain linked to anxiety and expands the  region associated with emotions and memory.
Outdoors, ups mental health benefits by 50 percentage over exercising in a room.
So try to move out in your garden and focus on nature /the beauty you see.
You can enjoy instant serenity........

Goodmorning stretch.....for inner peace....

When your cat wakes up, rise and follow her lead....Start with a stretch as your cat always does...

You will not only loosen your muscles, you'll also calm your mind.

Cats are masters at the practices of perfect yoga.

Inner peace is easy when you are fresh and relaxed.

Live long and prosper....

It is absolutely possible to get better with age.
Be active in your midlife to remain lively in your golden years.
Learning new things makes you happy and keeps your mind active.
Do something interesting every day; otherwise you disintegrate.
Remain curious about life, if something new happens, get involved.

In this picture are Mrs and Mr Raghavan Nair from Pimpri, Pune. They are our
son n law's grandparents. They are wonderful, whom we adore for their kindness, love,
and empathy. Grandpa turned 96 this July. A lot to learn from them. No doubt "OLD is GOLD"!!!

stretch to health and relax for happiness and peace......

Prepare plans on a regular basis for yourselves to stretch out and relax.
We used to prepare plans for ourselves to get rid of the routine, to activate us, to energize us with
new trips, experiences, photographs, friends, food and culture.
To us it values a lot .....makes more active, energetic, creative and to plan for next.....keeping intact all the routine activities.....
