When I was 20 years old, I thought being 40 was when life started to decline.
I thought that was at a time when I was not exercising and eating nothing but junk food.
Now that I'm 46, I realize that there's a difference between getting old and aging.
Getting old is about what your age is relative to your perception of it. If you think life slows down, then you will slow down with it.
You'll work out less, eat a bit worse, get less sleep, and inevitably do things that will speed up the aging process.
Aging is a bit different.
Aging is a controlled process that's based on your lifestyle. You can control how fast you age by lifting weights, moving frequently, having a purpose, eating the right foods & getting the right amount of sleep.
I'm 46 right now, and I feel way better & I'm way more athletic than I was at 20 because I'm doing the right things.
I know you can too. You just have to make your health a priority and focus on being consistent.
Are you going to accept getting old, or are you going to do what it takes to reach your full potential?
The choice is yours.
