How to Retard Aging! (Ageless Body, Timeless Mind, Chopra)

     Thankfully, there are two sides to every story.  In Ageless Body, Timeless Mind, Chopra explains the negative factors that accelerate aging but he also lists the positive factors that retard aging.  They are as follows:

1.  Happy marriage
2.  Job satisfaction
3.  Ability to laugh easily
4.  Ability to make and keep close friends
5.  Regular daily routine
6.  Taking at lease one week of vacation per year
7.  Enjoyable leisure time
8.  Ability to express feelings easily
9.  Optimistic about the future
10.  Feeling financially secure, living within means

    I think all of these are positive factors that make me feel light just thinking about them.  My mom was telling me when I'm confused about a decision to imagine both scenarios and ask which one makes you feel light.  That is probably the best decision for you then.  Just like these positive factors.  Do they make you feel light?  If so, why not do more of them?
