Ateen g Ades are here walking back to the building bit of Humans Project podcast. I want to chat about something today which I guess is relevant to me as I've hit that age of fifty two nearly fifty three, and relevant to a lot of people that I talked to, particularly in the gym space. Now what am I talking about? Well, I read this post recently by a guy that specializes in body transformations and particularly you know, for people in their forties and fifties, and one of the things he talked about was that it's not your age it's the problem. So people go, oh, I've got all these aches and pains and it's just a joys have been fifty two. What a lot of the problem is for us is that our age isn't the issue. And I've made this mistake too, where I constantly talk about a backache or an elbow or an injury or this sort of thing happens because of my age. What he says is, it's actually because of your It's not your age that's causing this. It's the habits that you do every day. Age is just the number of years that you have been taking care of yourself. What a perspective. The truth is people don't struggle because the aging process. They struggle because of the years of hurting their bodies with unhealthy habits, and finally it catches up to them. So his idea is that your body needs to move every day. Your body needs to take a break from thinking, maybe by meditating or just getting him away from that thought process, constantly downloading information. Your emotions need to be felt, not suppressed. And if you don't do any of these things, that's where you start to get some problems. So my body having a few injuries, that's not age related. It's just injuries from years of pushing myself. And I actually like that because yes I do have a few aches and pains, and yes I do have a few injuries. But by changing my mindset and saying well, that's just the joys of being fifty too, I can say, well, that's just the joys of having pushed my body to do some pretty amazing things over the years. Now, there are other people that have aches and pains just because they've neglected their bodies and they haven't gone and done all the great things, and they haven't got those stories to tell because they've been lazy. They've put poor nutrition into their mouths on a constant basis. They're overweight, they struggle to breathe. And if this is you, then take that on board. This is not a slight on you. I'm not having a goal at you. I'm just saying, let's be honest with the fact that you haven't looked after your body, you haven't looked after your mind. Those things are starting to struggle because of what you've done to them on a daily basis for years. So you can either say, hey, this is just my age, or you can start to say it's the way I've treated myself and I'm going to change that. That's what I love about all of this. You have the capacity to change that when you have to believe that first and foremost. But you must certainly have the capacity to change it. So start moving your body. Start giving yourself mental breaks, some downtime, even every hour. I have a five or ten minute break at work, walk away from the computer or the whatever it is you're doing, Grab a cup of talk to people, read something good, put something good inside your head. Your physical and mental well being has very little to do with your age. What does come with age are positive is experience intellect. You learn to have some emotional control because you've been through a bit of stuff, And because you've been through a bit of stuff, you get to approach things differently. I know I'm at an age where I need less money, I need less things. I have very very little concern for things. I like to buy things like anyone else. But if I lost things means absolutely nothing to me anymore. I wouldn't be devastated. Now if I lost things that mean something to me. I'm sitting inside my van as I record this, and then right in front of me, you know, I've got the ASAR number plate, one of the copies of those up on the wall. I've got a P ANDNG coat of arms, and then I've got my metal from war zones that I've been to. Now, if I lost the metals, that don't mean a lot to me. The ASON number plate can be replaced, the P ANDNG coat of arms can be replaced, the TV in front of me can be replaced, the van can be replaced. The metals not so easily. So that's something that if I lost, wouldn't mean something to me, because I know what it took in order to receive those, but I'm not someone that's focused on things. And this is the joy again of getting older, and these are a positive. But if you're not feeling great, it's not just your age, it's the way you've treated your body. If you're not feeling great, or you have a few injuries because you have pushed your body, well, then you've changed some pretty cool things. But changing that perspective was a lot for me. I just love the idea that and this is to go back and quote this guy that I was listening to. The truth is people don't struggle because of the aging process. They struggle because of the years of hurting their body with unhealthy habits and finally it's caught up to them. That's a very uncomfortable truth. But when you know that to be true, you can start to do something about it. And I hope you choose to do that.
