Feeling Renewed at Any Age 2 Ways to Revive Your Life This Summer
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 ATTENTIONTO MENTAL HEALTH. Although more years provide more experience and knowledge, 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.
If the mercurial spring weather has prevented you from getting out as much as you would have liked these past few months, you might be feeling a bit of cabin fever about now. Luckily, you can still introduce positive changes to your life that help you feel healthier and younger. Here are two ways to awaken your body and mind. 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.
Growing older doesn’t mean you can’t feel renewed and positive. This isn’t just an impossible idea — it’s a reality.

“I became involved with the Greater Boston Food Bank through my place of work over two years ago. My family has also volunteered throughout all of that time! I have witnessed the great work the Greater Boston Food Bank does while helping those in need in our own communities.” –Brian GBFB is the largest hunger-relief organization in New England and among the largest food banks in the country. They are committed to increasing their food distribution to provide three meals a day to every person in need in eastern Massachusetts while supporting healthy lives and healthy communities.
Brian was selected as patient of the month in recognition of his unwavering optimism! Throughout his rehabilitation after his ACL reconstruction, he focused on his improvements and the progress he was making toward returning to his normal level of abilities. He also shared encouraging words for others in their rehab, a smile, or a funny story to lift others around him. Thanks, Brian! “I picked the Alzheimer’s Association as my charity because both of my grandmothers were afflicted with this disease. It was difficult to watch their minds waste away as they forgot everything, including their loved ones.” –Craig The Alzheimer’s Association aims to end the disease by “accelerating global research, driving risk reduction and early detection, and maximizing quality care and support.” Craig has been to our clinic a few times over the years and has always been a pleasure to work with.
