Daily I hear people attributing some ache or pain to "getting older" or I hear people saying such things as; "I'm beginning to look just like me parents". The mental image of aging they have is one of declining mental and physical health. So, these people surely come to realize declining health and fitness in their lives as they get older.
Your body is designed to be healthy and fit all of your life. Do you know your body completely rebuilds itself every 11 months? That's right each year you have a completely new body. I believe your body gets it's plans for rebuilding from the mental image you hold of what "getting old is".
By constantly holding an image of health and vitality in your mind your body will be rebuilt and maintained in a healthy and energetic pattern. I know this to be true for me. I'm in my 50s and I am as healthy, strong, and fit as I was in my 20s. I recently beat a 15 year old running sprints. I hold an image of healthy aging in my mind and that's what I get. The phrase "you are as old as you think you" are is true.
