Aging Starts with Not Giving Up on Life's Simple Pleasures
When I was young, I especially loved the Chinese New Year.
As soon as the Spring Festival arrived, I was like someone who had been injected with chicken blood – dressed in beautiful clothes, holding a thick red envelope, and running around with my friends. It was simply the happiest time of the year.
Later, as I got older, I also began to fear the Chinese New Year.
It wasn't because I had lost the New Year's spirit, but because one year ended meant another year had passed, and I was getting older. Year after year, time flew by, and the fear of aging grew stronger.
No woman doesn't fear aging, but few understand the true meaning of 'aging'.
A person's aging isn't about being cold, losing hair, or gaining weight; it's not about wrinkles appearing around the eyes.
A person's aging starts with 'not being fickle'.
No longer putting thought into understanding the outside world.
Most of us are constantly rushing between work and life, and this frenetic pace easily traps us in our own small circles.
However, no matter how busy or old we are, we should go out and see the world's beautiful flowers and foliage.
Only by seeing the world's diverse beauty can you know which flower is the most beautiful, even if you only go to one place in a year and live your life like a local.
No longer putting thought into skincare.
The face is a woman's best business card; it doesn't have to be glamorous, it can have wrinkles, but it must never look rough.
Those who can afford it use skincare products – the more expensive, the better; those who are thrifty also have many ways to take care of themselves:
Exercise can make you sweat and detoxify, raise your metabolism, and getting enough sleep and early rising can make your complexion rosy. Outdoor exposure and hats can protect you from the sun and delay aging… Skincare doesn't have to cost a fortune, but it can't be lazy.
No longer putting thought into pleasing oneself.
Often, people take care of their customers, take care of their colleagues, and take care of their friends, but they forget to take care of themselves.
Research shows that the brain only sends out messages of happiness when a person does something they really enjoy, even if it's a very difficult thing. In simple terms, it's pain and joy.
Happiness is simply doing things that make you happy, such as doing things that make you feel the beauty of life and spend every day happily.
No longer putting thought into managing your figure.
When you're in your twenties, it's the age when you love beauty – you want your clothes to fit in an XS-sized dress, so you try to live in the gym every day.
Later, as I got older, my metabolism slowed down, and I accidentally gained weight. And when I gained weight, it became increasingly difficult to lose it, so I started to let myself go…
Weight gain is a manifestation of lack of self-discipline – it's a precious ability that allows you to become bloated and also light, and it exudes a spirit from the inside out,
No longer putting thought into enriching one's inner self.
Women have three kinds of beauty: one is the beauty of innate beauty, fresh and elegant; the other is the beauty of later modification, exquisite and dazzling; and the last is the beauty of having inner content.
Regardless of whether you value having a rich book knowledge or appreciating the little things in life, take some time to read books.
Women with a love for literature and books possess a refined literary temperament, radiating a charming aura. Children raised in this environment will naturally develop a love for books from a young age,
No longer putting thought into dressing oneself.
Born with a beautiful appearance, also needs colorful clothes; often, many opportunities come from being appreciated.
Don't think that you're not young anymore, or you're not single, or you've had children – you shouldn't stop taking care of yourself. Life is a lifetime, why should you make yourself beautiful?
A seventy-year-old grandfather and an eighty-year-old grandmother are still walking the fashion week, wearing qipaos and showing off their figures. What reason do you have not to be a little more refined?
No longer putting thought into making friends.
People are most afraid of having no friends.
Even if you have a double harvest of love and career, and have a double full family, you should at least have one or two friends you can trust.
Your happiness, sadness, smile, and tears – are they genuine emotions or strong appearances? You don't need to say too much, that person understands, and this understanding is the most profound emotion in life,
'Aging' is not a superficial thing, it's a change in the heart.
Don't fear the passage of time, only fear letting time pass without a purpose, and don't bother to go out and do something again like when you were young.
