PROMPT May 20th

If you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the mind or body of a 30-year-old for the last 60 years of your life, which would you choose?


This is an easy one for me. I'd definitely choose the body! Although...at age 30 I don't remember making the best decisions...but yes, definitely it would be the body. This time around I would treat it better. That's for sure. Here's what I'd do differently:

1. Stick to a healthy diet. No more overeating. No more snacking mindlessly. No more dairy. No more eggs. No more meat...except a little bit.

2. Stretch. Every single day. Mostly yoga to keep my muscles and mind flexible and strong.

3. Walk. Every single day. Walking every place I could walk. Walking from the farthest end of the parking lot. Walking in the park. Walking everywhere. And taking the time to enjoy the walk - time to "stop and smell the roses" if you will.

4. Sleep. Training my body to sleep more than 5 hours. Continue the cat naps. After all, I'm the Queen of Cat Naps. Good thing I have a cat.

5. Water. More water more water more water. This cannot be stressed enough.

6. Acceptance. Accepting me for who I am. Not perfect. Vulnerable yet strong. Passionate yet distant. Flawed yet perfect. Just me.

So that's what I'd do. I'd take better care of my body. And by the way, I fully intend to live to age 90 or beyond.
