8 Secrets To Staying Young (According to Shaolin Monks)

Resist the Feeling of Anger

Nothing good comes from constantly fuming when something doesn’t go your way. In fact, the idea that anger produces a satisfying, cathartic effect is a complete myth. Instead, feeling angry only makes a person want to feel even angrier. All of this creates needless stress and leads to premature aging.

Take Breaks

Rest is essential if you want to stay young. When you’re at work, make sure to take a breather from time to time even if you’ve got a hectic schedule. This doesn’t mean getting up every 10 minutes to fix yourself a coffee in the break room, of course. If you’ve got a typical 9-5 job, take a 15-minute break during the first 4 hour block, a 30/60 minute lunch, and a second 15-minute break in the late afternoon.
