“ Rigorous physical exercise will help keep your body in
great shape. Equally important is
mental exercise to keep your mind in great shape. Your mind as much as your
body, regularly needs a good run too, If you want it to serve you well in your
retirement years. Of course, in
addition to keeping your brain in shape for the future, it will keep you from
getting bored in the future.”
The history of my life during late teens and early twenties
is one of physical sports activities; wrestling and playing football; first in
secondary high school and then in university.
Now I am 73 years old and have several things that I do that
hopefully will keep me in gear. In
regards to shear physicality, around 10 AM, in my neighborhood every morning, I
walk fast, or jog, for about 45 minutes. I also have hour-long fast walks when
I visit my sons in Vancouver.
In addition, while
walking, when I’m alone, I practice staying in the “here and now” by chanting
meditation and deep breathing. I
do watch TV but it’s not a substitute for a journey in the neighborhood.
. I do practice
mental activity by playing Big Fish “Time Management Games” on my laptop
computer. Computer playing
certainly keeps me going and making decisions relevant to those on my long
career ( I was a University Professor). THANKS Big Fish!!!
