🌸 A Mindset for Living a Life Where You Can Say 'This Year Is My Healthiest Yet' Every Year

Hello 🌷 This is YUKI from the Beautiful Body Method.

Today, I would like to talk about something I always keep in my heart.

It is

“I want to be someone who can say every year that this is the year my body is in its best condition.”

This sentiment is something I feel strongly through my own daily training and life.

Everyone feels changes in their body as they age.

But I want to choose a life where I don't 'decline because of age,' but rather,

“evolve with age.” 🌸

💫 Physical changes felt after 30

The late 30s to early 40s is a time when you start to really feel physical changes.

“My stamina seems to have dropped,”
“It’s harder to recover from fatigue.”

Many people feel this, and in fact, the number of people who start personal training at this stage is increasing. *I am one of them.

In fact, there are many people in this age group at my gym as well.

I want to change my body, I want to regain my vitality.
It is natural for that desire to sprout.

The body is definitely changing as you age.
Rather than trying to get results quickly like when you were young, it is very important to understand your current body and approach it in a way that suits who you are now 🌿

👵 Learning to 'live in the moment' from the changes in those close to us

Recently, as my parents have passed their 70s, I have come to feel the passage of time once again.

The two who used to be active now spend their days saying, 'My knees hurt' or 'My lower back feels heavy,' and going to the osteopathic clinic.

And above all, I feel like their appearance and even their way of thinking have become like those of an old man and woman.

Seeing that, I always think to myself in my heart:

“I will try not to become like that. I want to be someone who doesn't lose to age.”

But at the same time, I also think:

“There are things that can only be done at that age, at that time.”

For example, if my parents feel now that they 'should have exercised more,' they can just start exercising now.
If their knees hurt, I think they should just learn how to use their body so that their knees don't hurt.

That is 'what can be done at that time' 🌸

🧠 The key to extending healthy life expectancy is 'not stopping your thinking'

When people hear 'extending healthy life expectancy,' the first things that come to mind for many are exercise habits or strength training habits.

Certainly, moving your body is very important for maintaining health.

But I think:

“Just exercising doesn't mean your healthy life expectancy will increase.”

Rather, if you continue with the wrong method,
you might get injured, hurt your body, or even harm your health.

What is truly important is

“finding a method that suits that person's body and continuing to change it.”

Of course, I think just exercising is effective. I think it is useful for lowering the risk of problems that may occur in the body in the future.

But the important thing isthat it will become difficult to continue doing what you are doing now in the same way as you get older. The correct way to do strength training or exercise is completely different depending on age, purpose, and physical condition.

What you could do when you were young might not suit you now.

Instead of being sad that you 'can no longer do it,' the mindset of thinking about 'what does the current me need' is the biggest point in extending healthy life expectancy 🌸

When I talk to elderly people, I often hear this phrase:

“I could do it when I was young, but...”

But just because you could do it when you were young doesn't mean you can do it the same way now.

I want you to think of this not as a decline, but as a natural change.

If you use your younger self as a standard, your thinking will inevitably head in a direction that denies your 'current self.'

What is important is not comparing yourself to your past self, but

“finding the method that is most comfortable for your current self.” 🌷

Listening to your current state and the voice of your current body, and then choosing the optimal way to use your body, is the first step to building health ✨

🍀 Do not bring 'methods from when you were young' into the present

The reason many people stumble when they try to start getting healthy.

It is because they try to move with the same mindset they had when they were young.

They try to do things now just as they did when they were young.

Dieting is a good example.

'When I was young, I lost weight so quickly.'
'When I was young, I could get back to my original weight just by not eating for a few days.'
'When I was young, I didn't have any fat around my waist.'

They try to use the same diet methods they used when they were young, fail, and give up.

When you were young, you could push yourself with strength training or exercise and recover by the next day, right?
But how about now?

'I can't shake off the fatigue.'
'I'm constantly exhausted.'
'It takes time for muscle soreness, wounds, and injuries to heal.'

And then you give up, thinking it's not for you.

An aging body will get tired quickly if you don't treat it with care, and recovery won't be the same as it was when you were young.

You cannot continue to build your body by sticking to the same diet, exercise, and rest habits you had in your 20s.

It is necessary to change your approach to match your current physical condition and stamina.

🧘‍♀️ Your body begins to change the moment you accept the 'now'

Instead of trying to return to your younger self,
everything starts with 'accepting who you are now.'

While acknowledging the changes in your body, you find a 'pace that your current self can comfortably maintain.'

Don't rush, don't compare, just be careful.
That accumulation will eventually support you in the form of a healthy life expectancy🌸

💖 Extending your healthy life expectancy means not stopping your 'habits of thought'

'The biggest secret to extending your healthy life expectancy is to never stop thinking.'

For example, when you have a physical ailment, if you just dismiss it by saying 'it's because of my age,' both your body and brain stop at that moment.

Many people keep going to hospitals or clinics, unconsciously thinking, 'I want someone to fix me,' and lack the mindset to improve things themselves.

Of course, relying on experts is important. However, I want you to have the mindset of 'is there anything I can do myself,' even if it's just a little bit.

'Why did I end up in this state?'
'What can I do to improve it?'

By thinking this way, your brain becomes active and your body begins to change.

This habit of thinking is a 'brain workout' that is more important than muscles🧠✨

I believe that those who never stop thinking stay young and energetic forever🌿

🌈 A way of life that doesn't use age as an excuse

Many people give up by saying, 'I'm too old.'
Sometimes they are even told that by others at hospitals or clinics.

The other day, I also hurt my shoulder from throwing a ball too much and went to a clinic,

'You know, at your age, even professional baseball players consider retiring, so take it easy.'

I was told that, and suddenly I was confronted with the reality that, generally speaking, my body is at an age where it cannot handle overexertion.

But my mindset in that situation is 'let me think about how I can learn a way of throwing that puts less strain on my body'.

I do not want to blame my age.

Physical pain and declining stamina do not happen suddenly just because you have reached a certain age; they are the result of everything you have done up until now.

In other words, your future body can be changed by the choices you make today.

Instead of using age as an excuse, continuing to think about 'what can I do for myself right now?' leads to extending your healthy life expectancy and is the best investment you can make in your future self 💖

🌸 And, toward a way of life where you can say 'This year is the best'

I truly believe this from the bottom of my heart.

I want to be someone who can say, 'No matter what age I am, this year is the best.'

In fact, I am in much better shape now than I was in my teens and twenties. My stamina level, muscle strength level, and organ function are all at their best right now.

Of course, there are times when I feel pain or fatigue.
But those are signs from the body, and by addressing them each time and repeating improvements, the body definitely continues to evolve 🌿

Even as you age,

“I can still grow”
“Now is the best”

I want to continue walking a life where I can say those things ✨

🌟 Finally

Extending your healthy life expectancy is not just about living a long time.

How long can you maintain the ability to move in a way that is true to yourself?

What is necessary for that is:

🌼 Accepting yourself as you are now
🌼 Finding methods that suit you without overdoing it
🌼 And continuing to think and find creative solutions

These three things.

Everyone ages.
But aging is not about 'declining,' it is about 'maturing.'

While treating yourself with care in that way,
let's walk together toward a life where you can laugh and say 'Now is the best' every year 🌸💫
