Some people seem much younger in their heads than their biological age. Time seems to have no grip on their creativity, their open -mindedness, their thirst to live and their carelessness. But how do they avoid letting their mind crash? First of all, they are regularly faced with novelty. People who stay young in their heads never cease to learn. Starting a new activity, a new sport, learning a new language, traveling, meeting new people, seeing new shows, dealing with new subjects in your work … In short, the fact of Having new projects and not staying in your comfort zone maintains the ability to learn and grow. “”The brain develops new neurons and new neural connections when you do new things, therefore staying lively and young goes through learning and discovery of new situations, new subjects, meeting new people“, Develops Amandine Ruas, coach and therapist in Paris.
They tend to stay in contact with people themselves young in their heads or by their age. By frequenting teens, young adults but also entrepreneurs, people who experience, who travel and make new things, they have different light on the world. They get into the fact of current practices: “Staying aware of innovations, current techniques, getting through digital, techniques and practical objects without becoming a slave of it, however, makes it possible to cultivate curiosity and to listen to the world around us and therefore, to stay bright“, Analysis the coach.
To stay young, the movement is essential. This may seem surprising but we know that the neural connections that develop with novelty are maintained and strengthened better when the body is in motion. In other words, learning, evolving and being open is more difficult when the body is completely static. “”It is therefore essential to practice regular physical activity but also to adopt a varied and balanced diet because we know that neurotransmitters that allow you to share information and learn and are impacted by our diet. Indeed, if we regularly eat processed foods, we damage these neurotransmitters. Result, we are less lively, and we have less mental clarity“, Argue Amandine Ruas.
As we get older, we sometimes tend to isolate ourselves. However, to stay young in your head, it is essential to continue to see people and meet new people. The people who stay young in their heads retain a rich social life with their family, their friends, their former colleagues. In other words, continue to cultivate links keeps alive.
