What is useful and what is not? Try to absorb what is useful and ignore what clutters the mind. One of my favorite places to absorb value is in a garden. There I can see that each flower, bird, and insect is useful in the cycle of life. As well, the garden soothes my troubles and is part of the meditation that heals my immune system and stops the aging process.

According to Mark Liponis, MD, author of Ultra-Longevity, The Seven-Step Program for a Younger, Healthier You

Create a soothing environment by adding cut flowers, soft lighting, photographs of loved ones and your favorite art. Play soothing music and have beautiful smells surrounding you. Relax and enjoy the journey because living in the moment is what matters.
