Do it! Wanted to try painting or woodworking? Now is the time! If you&#8217;ve ever thought about it, give it a try.<\/p>\n<h4>3. \u00a0Move!<\/h4>\n<p>Activity is good for the body, mind and soul. Take a yoga class, learn\u00a0Tai Chi or enroll in ballroom dancing classes &#8212; or maybe all three!<\/p>\n<h4>4.\u00a0 Share\u00a0Your Life Experience With\u00a0Others<\/h4>\n<p>Living life means lessons learned and there are people who are interested in hearing your story and benefiting from your experience. Consider starting a blog or writing an article for a local media outlet about something you&#8217;ve learned or experienced. Don&#8217;t fancy yourself a writer? Take a class and learn a new skill. Who knows? You might have a knack for it.<\/p>\n<h4>5.\u00a0\u00a0Challenge Yourself<\/h4>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to never stop\u00a0learning. Challenge yourself by learning\u00a0a new language, mastering\u00a0a new skill or studying a new subject matter. \u00a0Not only will it keep your mind sharp, you&#8217;ll also experience the personal satisfaction of a new achievement.<\/p>\n<h4>6.\u00a0\u00a0Be Joyful<\/h4>\n<p>Most important, no matter what you choose to do, choose to be joyful and surround yourself with people who share that positive, vibrant attitude towards life and will love and support you no matter what.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The simple truth is that your age is not determined by how chronologically old you might be. \u00a0It&#8217;s how you feel that&#8217;s most important.
