So many times we don’t try things because we are “too old”.
I can’t do that exercise, I’m too old.
I can’t go on a trip like that, I’m too old.
I’m too old to start a new career.
I’m too old to wear that outfit.
I’m too old to fall in love again or to fall back in love with my spouse.
I’m not 20 anymore so my body will just have to be like this.
I’m too old to do a headstand.
STOP
When you say you are too old what you are really saying is “I’ll never do that”. You won’t do it. Because you’ll be even older tomorrow!!! So you have basically given up on an opportunity that may bring you joy.
Just like we are working on cutting out the words “I’m fat”, let’s cut out the words “I’m old”.
I don’t know about you but I want to REDEFINE aging and do whatever I want for as long as I want. I am 50 years old and it’s just the beginning...my life, my career, my fitness, everything.
Doing headstands, cartwheels and handstands all the way to the end!
Pay attention to what you say. And do whatever it is you want to do. this isn’t a practice life. Every. Breath. Matters.
You are never too old. For anything!
YOU define your age and what you are capable of.
