Being Sexy!

Dear Uncle Chuckie, what do you honestly say to a woman who feels like she has to dress sexy and trendy to attract a man?

When a woman dresses sexy to attract a man, she will attract someone who is looking for sex and not who she really is. Once she becomes/shows him her true self, he's going to continue to look for that sexy woman even if it's not her. Her mate has to be a part of who she is and visa versa. Then there will be happiness. She will never be happy trying to be someone she's not. We all need someone who wants us for who we are not who we think they want us to be. If we are not satisfied with ourselves how can we expect someone else to be satisfied with us. If your inner beauty is not enough then nothing will be enough. Unfortunately this is becoming a world of sex. Love needs to resurface and it will if we stop giving into the sex temptation.

You can have sex with anyone. You cannot make Love to anyone.

Getting Old?

Uncle Chuckie, I'm starting to get up there in age and every old person I know is always complaining about all of the aches and pains they're going through. And the lost of memory too. They say it is because they're getting old. Will I be that way too?

To be truthful, that's up to you. You mind and body is under your control. It does exactly what you tell it to do. In other countries older people remain physically active and are emotionally, intellectually and mentally much more involved in their communities. Unfortunately, in the American culture there is a very strong message that when you get old (older) that you are basically useless. All of your ailments are because you are old and you are supposed to be in a specific condition, mentally and physically. Some of the famous quotes are; "It's because I'm getting old", "Old age will do this to you", "I'm too old for this" and the scariest one is "You're gonna get this way when you get old." We must realize that this is the rest of our lives.
We are not getting old, we are getting older. Aging creates the best years of our lives. Studies show that happiness goes up as we get older. People are more happy when they reach the upper 50's and over.
Aging as decay is a lifestyle, not inevitable. Old timers illness is decay. Stress brings decay. We choose to enter the rest of our lives either weak or strong. When we continuously sit in front of the tv, computer, video games, smartphones, etc. our bodies shuts itself down. We are moving machines. There is an old saying, "If you don't use it you lose it". It goes with all parts of living, body and mind. People lived well into their hundreds and now the average life expectancy is between 62.7 to 75yrs. Living longer is up to us. You feel the way you feel when you get older is because you choose to.
Our bodies renews about 1% of itself daily. It's like getting a brand new body ever three months. Our bodies rest in the winter and is basically brand new each spring and is ready for additional movement. We need to help our bodies renew itself by changing our lifestyles.
The best way to start is to use common sense. We need to change our diets, not diet. Change what and how you eat. Cut down or out meats and dairy products. Plenty of vegetables, fruit, legumes and nuts (possibly organic). Start exercising. Exercise you body, brain and emotions.
The emotional content of our life is the most important followed by exercise then nutrition. The easiest thing to change is the one we make the most difficult and that is to live better emotional lives. Eating is the second most difficult and exercising is the third. Exercising with others can help build emotional ties and connecting with people with good eating habits can help you eat better. If you notice that every time good heath becomes an issue in life the media and fast food restaurants start advertising poison. Now it's bacon. The baconator, baconaila, etc. And all of the so-called nutritional ads are about fiber, fiber and fiber. Although we do need fiber in our diets too much can hurt you too. Since fiber carries water out of the body too much can cause dehydration and gas. High amounts of fiber may limit the absorption of iron and calcium and can cause deficiencies in nutrition. Too much can also cause constipation if you don't drink plenty of water. Everything in moderation. We must stop letting the media run our lives.
We need to rid ourselves of our bad past. Too many people try to hard to do the impossible and that is to continue to live the past. We can't live the past. We must learn from the past. We build up in our bodies our bad emotional past and refuse to let it go. Then we get to the point where we don't realize that we have built up so much in us from the past and wonder why we keep repeating it. We repeat it more in our minds and unconsciously take it out on those in our present and/or we keep it in let it decay our bodies and our brain then we get American old.
I am not put on this earth for me. I am put here for you and you for me. No living thing or being are meant to live alone. We are built to be part of a pack. You don't have to like everyone in your pack just get along with them. People surrounded by people do a lot better than those who are alone. Touching is very important too. Even if it is just a hug or a handshake. They will go a long way.
Read! Study and Learn. Do puzzles. Research things you doubt and things you want to know more about. Rid yourself of negativity and live a more positive life. Rid yourself of negative company. When people think negatively about you is their problem not yours. When you feel things are not going the way you think they should or the way you have felt they should have went in the past develop the "Oh Well!" attitude and move on. Stop getting upset with things you have no control over. Live a more relaxed life. Don't just Love yourself you must like yourself also.
We always work on treating problems when things go wrong (physically and mentally) instead of preventing them from happening.
You are going to grow older and the pace you grow older is up to you. There are three main types of people out there; Those who keeps their mind and body physically active (a little exercise, decent social circle and a few interest) will keep themselves from getting American old. Those who are about 100 pounds over weight and lonely decides to start by walking with someone will start creating a emotional bond and that is a good start. And the ones who have a very low chance of living healthy as they age are the ones who don't want to do anything from the beginning and that's the majority of us.
Never give up your dreams. Let go of your past. It is never too late to live your dreams and to live a healthier and brighter life. Today is all that matters and you can choose to live it drowning, swimming or soaring. It's up to you. You and only you have control.
