Many dream of stopping time, not getting old, or saving time in order to achieve their dreams and goals, but the truth is that we die every day. The clock is ticking.
It is important that we begin to realize that time is not infinite, and be responsible with our own, learning to use it in what helps us to be happy.
The important thing is not the years we live, but how we live them.
It is easy to find children laughing out loud, having fun, squeezing out the experiences life has to offer. However, over the years we tend to lose the illusion, we stop laughing so often, we forget the ephemerality of our reality and we cling to our habits, what we know, without questioning whether we are where we really want to be or if We have become who we wanted to be as children.
It is obvious that it is not possible to go back to the past, but we can rejuvenate ourselves internally. We can start now to change our present and achieve the desired end, to enjoy our way without resignation, and for this I show you 8 essential tips to feel alive:
- Be aware of the present moment in which you find yourself. Studies show that we are happier when our thoughts agree with the action we are taking at each moment. For example, if you've finally made time to play with your child, turn off your phone and TV, and enjoy the moment, it will make it a priceless moment. Look with the eyes of a child at every detail and find the subtle beauty of the objects that surround you (appreciate its color, its movement, its shape, the light that bathes it, its texture, its smell…). Our day to day is full of beauty that goes unnoticed, decide to find it. Choose who you want to interact with. Various studies have indicated that there is a tendency to experience greater happiness,when you are with people you love when you are alone.

Review your habits. Not all of our habits are good. Ask yourself from the inside which three habits are not giving you anything in life and renew them for three others that do add to your happiness. If today were your last day, what things would you like to have done? Don't delay them, make your time count every day incorporating positive habits. Take care of your body.Practicing exercise or eating well are key elements that will help you tone your body and give you energy, but they will also help you keep your mind open and clear, helping to heal your body from the inside. Select the information you receive. Every day we receive devastating information: wars, fraud, hunger… We think it is the harsh reality, but in reality it is only a small fragment. They forget to tell us about the other side of the coin: the beautiful and friendly part that does not sell headlines because it is far from catastrophies and gossip. Establish your own filter and ask yourself what kind of information and thoughts you want to accompany you throughout the day as they will guide your emotions and the actions you will take each day. Never stop learning. Discover new things every day. Read, sign up for a course or workshop,share opinions with other people… this will facilitate the plasticity of your neurons that Punset talks about so much, will make you keep your mind active and will allow you to grow and rejuvenate internally. Take responsibility for your way of seeing the world. You cannot change what happens, but you can change your attitude. How you deal with situations will make a difference. Remember that all experiences (both positive and negative), all have learning and therefore something positive to focus our attention on. Look for the positive and you will end up finding the positive.but your attitude does. How you deal with situations will make a difference.

Youth before life is not given by the scarcity of years, but by the attitude one feels towards it. It is not about what happens around us, but within us.
Sing in the shower. Jump. Laugh It sounds. Dare to try new things. Be impulsive and, in a nutshell, feel alive.
