How to Get Old, Quickly (Ageless Body, Timeless Mind, Chopra)

     Deepak Chopra lists the negative factors that accelerate aging in Ageless Body, Timeless Mind.  He wants us to understand the strong psychological affect we have on our own bodies.  The underlying message being that we have control to change the negative factors that accelerate aging into an ageless body.

1.  Depression
2.  Inability to express emotions
3.  Feeling helpless to change oneself and others
4.  Loneliness, absence of close friends
5.  Lack of regular daily routine
6.  Job dissatisfaction
7.  Financial burdens
8.  Excessive worry
9.  Getting angry easily, unable to express anger
10.  Criticism of self and others

     Personally, I have experienced everyone of these negative factors.  I can see how they have weighed me down and even made me feel old.  The good news is that we can change any of these negative factors to positive factors that retard aging, states Chopra.
