As people age they tend to spend less time with friends. Don't miss out on the opportunity to share a great meal, experience a wonderful conversation, or team up for a long exhilarating walk!

Pamper yourself. Schedule a massage after your workout as often as you can. Most fitness facilities have massage therapists on the premises.

Keep a fitness journal. Record the physical changes taking place and note your emotional progress as well. Read through your journal from time to time and be proud of your accomplishments.

Put on some music and dance! Music has an energy that embraces the spirit. Feel the rhythm and let yourself go. It's lots of fun—especially when no one is watching!

Go back to school. Learn a new language or how to play a musical instrument. Take a computer class or master the art of storytelling. The possibilities are endless and your brain will thank you.

Claim a space. Find a quiet corner in your home and make it your own. Go there to read, meditate or write a letter to a friend. After a good workout at the gym, "quiet time" will nourish your mind.

Smile more! It does a body good!
