She no longer eats three meals on time and quits social networking sites. After turning 60, she gave up five habits to live more comfortably.

After reaching the age of 60, many people clearly feel their physical and mental decline. How to keep the body and mind light is an important issue at this stage. Japanese blogger Nakamichi Nakamichi, who is now in his 60s, re-examined his lifestyle in his 50s and learned not to cater to the world and others, making his life in old age much easier. Here are five lifestyle habits she shares about "becoming more comfortable after letting go."

Habit 1: No longer tied to a fixed time to eat

In the past, Zhongdao believed that "eating on time" was the correct way of life, so when meal time came, I would eat even if I was not hungry. Now it’s changed to “eat when you’re hungry.” I will eat enough in the morning, and sometimes only eat a banana or a sandwich at noon; in the evening, I will try to finish the meal before 19 o'clock. Sometimes she even finished her dinner around 16:00 and stopped eating until the next morning. That breakfast the next day was particularly delicious. After no longer being dominated by "time", but listening to the "voice of the body", the whole person becomes lighter.

Habit 2: Quit the habit of drinking

Nakamichi used to like sake very much, but now he hardly drinks it anymore and rarely attends dinner parties. I mostly spend my evenings quietly reading or spending time with my dog. The leisure and tranquility are more fulfilling than any excitement. After quitting drinking, not only did I not feel lonely, but I felt that night had become the most enriching time of the day. Maybe this is the "wisdom of age".

Habit 3: Dressing up to look stylish

When he was in his 50s, Nakamichi still wanted to look good, so he wore mid-heeled shoes and followed fashion. But at the age of 60, I discovered that "nature and comfort" are the most important. She got rid of all her high heels and stopped wearing tight clothing, switching to simple, soft, relaxing clothing. As your skin tone becomes slightly duller, start choosing items in bright colors to make your overall look more energetic.

Habit 4: Unlimited scrolling on SNS (social networking sites)

In the past, whenever I opened SNS, my mood would always be affected by negative messages, and I was not even sure which information was true. In the long run, it is easy to feel tired. Now she only uses SNS "when necessary" and has established two small habits: not bringing her mobile phone into the bedroom, and ending her day with "Thank you for today" before going to bed. After doing this, I feel much calmer.

Habit 5: Force yourself to move

Although the decline in physical strength is sad, the middle way is to accept it rather than fight it. For example, if you go out for a whole day one day, you can stay home and rest the next day. The principle she gave herself was: "Don't put off what you want to do, but you must have a good rest afterwards." Instead of trying to be brave, it is better to allow yourself to "do nothing." Sometimes I sit on a park bench and bask in the sun, watching all kinds of people. The leisure itself is fun.

"Growing" is something you only experience after you turn 60

Zhongdao said that he once thought he would never grow old, but it was only in the past two years that he felt the changes in his body. Aging that was not realized at the age of 50 becomes real after the age of 60. Many things do not have to be deliberately let go, but "reduced" naturally. When I no longer insist on "something must be" and accept my true self, my reluctance disappears and my life becomes free and light.
