Healthy mind for longevity
    Mind and body go in parallel if you want to live a longer life. Constantly reviewing and setting goals and dreams in life are healthy acts for our well being minds psychologically.
    Building the kind of life you want is a lot like building a house.  The first thing you need to do is make a blueprint.  In the case of the house, you need to decide upon the style, how big you want it, and the specifics of the floor plan.  And then perhaps add some landscaping to enhance the picture.  Well, the same thing holds true of building on your dreams.  To help you create a life plan blueprint, here is a quick and easy form to follow. 
    You'll need a piece of paper and a pen to get started. When you are ready to begin, write down the following questions: 
    1.  Where have I come from?  Think about the challenges you have already faced and overcome in your life.  Think about what you are most proud of, and your biggest accomplishments. 
    2.  Where am I right now?  Think about your life as it is.  How do you feel about it?  Are you happy?  Is it all that you want? 
    3.  Where am I going?  Keeping your current goals in mind, reflect on where you want to be.  Picture this place in your mind.  Think about the steps you'll need to reach this place. 
    4.  Have I given myself the best chance to succeed?  Reflect on whether your past actions were enough to succeed at your goals. Next, make a list of the things you should do immediately that will help you begin living your dreams and give yourself a reasonable timetable to bring them to fruition. 
    5.  Is my life an adventure?  Do you wake up in the morning ready to greet a new day?  You know in your heart whether you're excited or bored.  Are you learning new things and going places you have never been before?  If not, write down what it will take to make your life the adventure you want it to be. 
    Trust this, if from time to time you review these questions and your answers, it will almost guarantee that you will move in the direction of your dreams.  And remember that, along the way, you'll probably need to adjust your blueprint plan.  As we go through life, we are constantly adjusting and changing our direction to meet our current goals. 
    Believe that, if you do follow this plan, you'll be well on your way to fulfilling your dreams and thus a longer mental health for longevity.
