We all wonder, when does a person stop being "young"? Is it when we hit a certain age? Or when our appearance starts changing?

A famous author once said, "Youth is not about a pretty face, rosy lips, or soft knees; it's about deep willpower, grand imagination, and passionate emotions." True youth is not measured by how we look but by our mindset.

Today, let's explore five simple secrets to keep us feeling young at heart and in body.

Secret One: Keep a Child like Heart

A child like heart has nothing to do with age; it's about maintaining a vibrant and energetic approach to life. Looking at the world through gray lenses might make everything seem dull, but when we maintain a sense of wonder, even with our eyes closed, we can imagine the beauty of spring in full bloom. It's rare for adults to hold onto this child like curiosity after seeing the ups and downs of life. It's not about being naive but about believing in the beauty of the world despite it's changes. People who stay curious are closer to happiness, and this naturally helps them stay youthful.

Secret Two: Smile Often, Keep Your Face Young

There are young people who don't smile much and seem to have no hobbies, feeling that life holds no joy for them. Even though they're young, they come off as tired and weary. In truth, every frown and sigh opens a door for time to chip away at us. On the other hand, those who love life, despite of all its struggles, never dwell on the bad. They embrace every chance to enjoy life and find joy in every step forward. When we turn up the corners of our mouth, we begin to shift our perspective, and that's when the transformation happens.

Secret Three: A Hobby to Fight Time

How we spend our free time directly affects our quality of life. Some people waste time on their phones, letting precious moments slip away. But having a hobby—whether it's singing, writing, or exercising—can bring color and joy to our days. When we engage in something we love, it radiates from us. No matter how old we get, our passion and curiosity keep us feeling fresh and unique. A hobby is a great way to resist the effects of aging.

Secret Four: Keep Learning

Health experts says as the, "Learn until you're old." Regardless of our age, we must keep learning. It could be picking up a new instrument, learning a language, or mastering a new recipe. If we stop learning at 20, we're already growing old. But if we remain curious and eager to learn, even in our 80s, we're still youthful. By constantly seeking new knowledge and experiences, we ensure that life never becomes stagnant. It's through learning that we can keep renewing our spirit and energy.

Secret Five: Maintain a Love for Beauty

Beauty isn't about age; it's an attitude toward life. Regardless of how old we get, we should always have a love for beauty—whether it's keeping ourselves clean and neat or dressing well. This isn't just for others; it's about showing respect to ourselves. When we let ourselves go, we not only stop caring for our outward appearance but also neglect our health. On the other hand, by staying disciplined and taking care of our body, we can maintain a youthful appearance, no matter how many years pass by. A little self-care goes a long way in keeping us young and vibrant.

Lykkers, it's clear that staying young is not just about physical appearance—it's about maintaining a positive mindset, continuing to learn, and nurturing our passions. Don't let age define you; instead, let your attitude shape how you feel and look! Let's keep our hearts young, our minds curious, and our spirits alive. How will you keep your youth today?
