It's odd, yet true. Our biology is affected by what we think and feel. "We possess the only nervous system that is aware of the phenomenon of aging." states Deepak Chopra in Ageless Body, Timeless Mind. Furthermore, our immune system is affected when depressed and in contrast, falling in love can boost it. The connectedness of our mind and body is a direct link. I know when I have been stressed I have gotten a cold or when I'm taking care of myself, I feel good physically and mentally. Chopra explains that the way we think and feel has an effect on how we age. We do have the option of how we perceive time and life. Chopra says, "I want to convince you that you are much more than your limited body, ego, and personality...At its deepest level, your body is ageless, your mind timeless."
This seems to make sense to me on some deeper level. Why do some people age so quickly, while others do not? How can you sense when someone has an old soul or is young at heart? I think time is our perception of life but I'm not convinced yet that we are ageless.
