Day of birth Arrive: Becoming Adult or Just Old?

Every year on and a particular month, each person "celebrate" the day

of his birth. Both really celebrate or just pass through, while there

is life, we will meet that day every year. The day was not really

grow older, but diminished. Until it is often said, must grow older

age.


"The calendar gets older age was the same one-year increase of

approximately 365 days. Not a short time. Instead of a long journey,

where day after day passed until we met again that day. The calendar

age, it must be old! "Said Anggia Chrisanti Wiranto, counselor and

therapist for EFT (emotional freedom technique).




Calendar age (should be) equal to mental age

Maturity is growth, in healthy people and normal, must increase. From

can not see so you can see, the road could not be able to walk, than

can not run so you can run. The number of teeth increases, lengthwise

hair, and others. "That calendar age can be ascertained almost the

same physiological growth," said Anggia.

"But do not forget, calendar age should also go hand in hand with the

mental age. Which means not only that increasing age, not only

growing physically, but mentally also be developed, "he added. 



But the fact is, many things that happened was the growth of calendar

age is not accompanied by mental development age. "Then came the

popular words, 'old man for sure, today's choice'. That is, as long

as there is still quota age, the natural laws of physiological growth

would occur. The problem is, there is no certainty of the nature of

mental development. Attitude, personality, mindset, maturity, and

others have learned, should be sought, should be upgraded by each of

us, either through formal or informal institutions, "explained

Anggia.

"The goal is to make ourselves a better person mentally. In thinking

and acting we mature, "he continued.

Calendar for the same age with mental age

Getting the calendar age and mental age is not easy to grow hand in

hand. Many who fail and end up just getting older, but not adults. 



It

would be futile and even lost his life because no better today than

yesterday. And no better tomorrow than today. There are a few tips

Anggia described, so we do not just parents, but also mature with

age. So every time you celebrate a birthday, it's good practice the

following things well. 



1. Understand the concept of the purpose of life 

The purpose of life is held accountable. What should be accountable?

There are four things: physical, cognitive, emotional, and impulses.

So, this body should not only be healthy foods that nourish the body.

But also "healthy foods" to develop to-4 that. 



2. Complete the "affairs of the past" you (trauma, pain) 


In theory, how we think and act now affected 70 percent of the power

of the subconscious. Which turns out, this subconscious hold more

traumatic things than pleasant things. So when you have "unfinished

business", can you believe is currently not optimal. 



3. Be grateful

Many people forget to be grateful. 

Top of breath that are still given

today, for sustenance which is still given today, and whatever it

was. Even if the recall grateful, most only focus on those things

right. In fact, try to see the wisdom behind all things that happen

to us. Believe that all good and evil is a test. Each is capable of

gratitude, it will be added pleasure. Each is capable of taking

lessons from each incident, it would be wiser.
