Feeling Renewed at Any Age
sometimes they also come with heavy baggage. The loss of a loved one, trauma, and other struggles can impact your life in later years. This is why it’s good to practice mindfulness. Take some time to focus on the present. Go for a walk and listen to the world around you, feel the fresh air against your skin, fill your lungs, and take in everything you can see. Meditation is also a good way to spend a few minutes to focus on your body in the moment and the things in life that make you happy. Practices like these can help you feel lighter, both physically and emotionally. Growing older doesn’t mean you can’t feel renewed and positive. This isn’t just an impossible idea — it’s a reality.
Adopt a new activity. As you get older, it’s not uncommon to drift further from the lifestyle you had in your 20s and 30s. Things have settled down, and you know a bit more about who you are, what you enjoy, and what you’re capable of. With this better understanding, you can make choices more aligned with your true interests and personality. Think about getting involved with a new activity you may have always wanted to try but never had the chance, like yoga or even a video game. Trying out new things keeps your brain active. You may even discover a new favorite activity along the way! Pay attention to mental health. Although more years provide more experience and knowledge,

The Top 3 Craziest Insurance Policies
When you buy insurance, you’re essentially betting that sometime in your future, something will go wrong and you’ll have to pay for it somehow. Typically, people buy insurance to protect themselves from the financial ramifications of auto wrecks, serious injuries, or home invasions, to name a few unfortunate circumstances. However, some people out there have bet on much more outlandish and unique scenarios — and created insurance policies to match. Taste Bud Insurance This insurance policy brings a whole new meaning to the phrase “putting your money where your mouth is.” While most people can’t imagine a reason to ever get this type of insurance, it makes sense if you’re a superstar in a very niche career field: food criticism. Egon Ronay, a world- famous critic of British and Irish
restaurants, insured his taste buds for $400,000 in 1957, following the release of the first edition of his guide to British eateries.
Alien Abduction Insurance This insurance policy is truly out of this world. All bad puns aside, tens of thousands of people in the United States and Europe supposedly have policies that can allow them to financially recover from an alien abduction — whatever that means. While there have been no independently confirmed alien abductions in the history of the human race, perhaps some people believe you can’t be too careful. While you’ll probably never need any of these types of insurance, it’s still good to know you can tailor your insurance policy to address any misfortune you might encounter in your life — even if those misfortunes revolve around food and beverages too hot to eat, razors, or UFOs.
Mustache Insurance For some certain famous individuals, certain parts of their appearance can become inseparable from the person themselves — to the point where separating them could cost that famous person dearly. Cricket star Merv Hughes certainly thought along those lines in the 1990s when he insured his trademark mustache for $377,000. That way, if he ever somehow lost his ’stache, he could at least make some cash.
