Sometimes, We Forget the Word "Growing" in Growing Old...

Finding the Joy and Significance in Aging!Life is not about how far you can go, how high you can jump, or how much weight you can carry. Life is about experiences, friendships, family, and the memories they create. So, why do so many people fear old age when the years that go by enrich us? This presentation is a lovely reminder that no matter how old you may be, you should always be full of life, even more so than when you were young.

12 Things That I've Learned Matter a Lot Less with Age

Important Life Lessons We Learn with Age!

We often let the little frustrations of each day stop us from appreciating life in the present moment. But, as we grow older, we learn to detach ourselves from the drama and the chaos we once engaged in. As we age, we become more humble about life and are less willing to spend our time on vain things. Now that I'm in my fifties, here are some important life lessons that I have learned:

1. Day-to-day frustrations are inevitable: Very rarely do we have full control of all situations. And, as stressful as it may be, what's bothering us so much today won't matter a month from now. And, with age we know this for certain.
Words of wisdom: Let go of the nonsense, stay positive, and move forward with your life.

2. How perfect everything ought to be: There's a big difference between reasonable striving and perfectionism. Perfectionism causes you unnecessary stress and anxiety, created by the superficial need to get it right. But getting lost in striving to achieve perfection prevents you from getting anything worthwhile done.
Words of wisdom: Let go of the fantasies, and the perfect moments you've made yourself believe.

3. The intricacies of what's in it for you: With age, you learn that you keep nothing in this life until you give it away first. This can be applied to knowledge, forgiveness, service, love, tolerance, acceptance and so on. It's easy to forget that giving opens us up to grace.
Words of wisdom: Give, in order to receive.

4. The pressure of acting immediately: While getting things done hurriedly may seem better when we are younger, in time we come to realize the importance of slow and steady work. In addition, we often believe that the big things are what will make a difference but overlook the fact that a simple smile can brighten somebody else's day.
Words of wisdom: You cannot plant a seed and expect it to become a flower overnight.

5. Wanting expensive physical possessions: Later in life we learn to pay less attention to physical possessions that used to seem so vital.
Words of wisdom: The things you really want cannot be bought.

6. Winning approval from others: The strength of your conviction is what determines your level of personal success in the long run, not the number of people who agree with the things you do.
Words of Wisdom: Follow the path that promises your heart genuine peace.

7. The selfish things others say and do: If we had to take everything personally, we would be offended for the rest of our days. When you detach yourself from other people's antics you feel free.
Words of wisdom: The way people treat you is their problem. How you react is yours.

8. Judging others for their shortcomings: We all have days where we are not our best. But the older we get, the more we come to realize how vital it is to give others the break that they deserve, and hope that they too will do the same on our own bad days. Truth be told, we never really know what someone has been through, or what they're going through today.
Words of wisdom: Be kind, generous, and respectful, then be on your way.

9. Blaming others: A happy person never evades responsibility or blames and points fingers at others, making excuses for their unsatisfying life. Happiness is a byproduct of your own thinking, beliefs, attitudes, character, and behavior.
Words of wisdom: You alone are responsible for how your life will unfold.

10. The shallow relationships that make you feel more popular: While acquaintances are nice to have, and friendliness is a good quality, dedicate your time to those that matter most.
Words of wisdom: Your time is limited. Sooner or later you want to be around the few people who make you smile for the right reasons.

11. Distant future possibilities: As we age, it becomes inevitably clear that we have more time behind us and less in front of us. As a result, the distant future gradually has less value to us on a personal level. The secret to happiness and peace is letting this moment be what it is, instead of what you think it should be. Then make the best of it.
Words of wisdom: Some people wait all day for 5pm, all week for Friday, all year for the holidays and all their lives for happiness. Don't allow yourself to become one of these people.

12. Society's obsession with outer beauty: As we get older, what we look like on the outside becomes less of an issue. The primary point of interest lies on who we've become on the inside. Eventually we come to realize that beauty has almost nothing to do with looks.
Words of wisdom: Beauty lies in how we make others feel about themselves and how we feel about ourselves.

13 Salty-Tasting Yet Healthy Snacks!

 

If you happen to enjoy salty snacks, it doesn't mean that you have to eat things that are completely unhealthy for you. All you need to do is stay within your calorie goals and ensure that you don't consume any more than 2,300 mg of sodium per day. Here are 13 fantastic salty snack ideas that do not involve self-sabotaging:

1. Organic popcorn with sea salt

This snack will go a long way toward satisfying any salty cravings you might be having. Make yourself a small cup of organic popcorn, and add extra flavor by putting the popcorn in a saucepan with extra virgin olive oil and different spices.

2. Baked sweet potato chips with chipotle powder and sea salt

 

Sweet potatoes are high in potassium, fiber and complex carbohydrates. Toss a small, thinly-sliced sweet potato with the skin still on in a bowl with 1 tbsp. lime juice, 1 tsp. olive oil and a dash of chipotle powder. Bake for 30 minutes at 400 degrees. Sprinkle with a dash of salt to taste.

3. Snapea crisps

You can get these at the grocery store, and you’ll only take in 110 calories per serving. Consider pairing them with a small handful of lightly salted almonds for increased overall nutrition and staying power.

4. Wholegrain nachos

 

Take a wholegrain tortilla, mist it with canola oil spray and sprinkle a touch of sea salt over it. Bake at 300 degrees for 10 minutes, then add ¼ cup of black beans, part-skim shredded cheese and chopped hot peppers. Continue baking the tortilla until the cheese melts and eat with a side of salsa.

5. Homemade veggie chips

Consider making chips out of various vegetables, such as Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes or turnips. Cut your desired vegetable into thin slices and toss them in a tablespoon or two of olive oil, seal salt and black pepper. Once coated evenly, arrange them in a thin layer on a baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees until crispy.

6. Black olives

 

It’s no wonder that black olives are a staple in the Mediterranean diet when considering their high monounsaturated fat content and low calorie count. A ¾ cup serving contains less than 300mg of sodium and is packed with flavor.

7. Turkey and cheese roll-ups with mustard

Roll up your favorite kind of cheese and turkey, throw in some spicy mustard for dipping and get creative by adding lettuce, tomato, avocado, hummus, and sprouts. Aim for about two rolls per serving you eat.

8. Rosemary and sea salt walnuts and cashews

 

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees, then toss ¼ cup of mixed walnuts and cashews with one teaspoon olive oil, 1/8 teaspoon of salt, and one teaspoon of ground rosemary. Place the nuts evenly on a lined baking sheet. Bake for about 5 minutes or until golden brown.

9. Cheese

A cup of 1% cottage cheese, part-skimmed ricotta cheese, or a few slices of cheese will leave you feeling full. Once you’ve gotten your appetite in check, you’ll be far more likely to stick to the diet plan you’ve set for yourself.

10. Salted fig parfait

 

Dice two figs, drizzle them with a teaspoon of honey, and one teaspoon of olive oil. Sprinkle with a dash of sea salt, then bake for 10-15 minutes at 400 degrees. Once done, use as a topping for 5 ounces of Greek or Icelandic yogurt.

11. Ants on a log

 

Cut celery into 4-inch pieces and spread 1-2 tbsps. of light-salted, organic peanut butter between each piece. Throw on a few dried cranberries or raisins and enjoy.

12. Whipped feta dip and baby carrots

 

Pop an ounce of whipped feta cheese in your food processor for around 10 seconds. After that add 3 tbsps. whipped cream cheese and puree for a further 2 minutes. This will give you ¼ cup dip. Couple this with ½ cup of baby carrots. 

13. Baked French fries

Cut a potato into wedges or thin strips and toss with a tsp. of olive oil. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt and roast at 450 degrees for 20 minutes, turning once halfway through. Leave the skin on for added fiber intake.
