We can not make time stop by, but always we could find some way to reduce the negative impact time putting on us. And here are some tips may help us.

1. Let go of the myth of inevitable decay.
Scientists are discovering that the more you buy into the notion that getting older means losing your mental acuity, the more likely you are to succumb to it.  Yale University psychologist Becca Levy, Ph.D., explores psychosocial influences on aging, particularly, how older individuals' perceptions of aging affects cognition and health.
Through her research she has found that older people shown negative words about aging, such as senile, before taking memory tests did significantly worse on the tests than those shown positive words about aging, such as wisdom.  In fact, people who saw positive words improved their scores. Levy has also shown that in cultures with a more positive view of aging than the culture in the United States and other western countries, older people perform better on memory tests.
In addition, her research has shown that older individuals with more positive self-perceptions of aging lived 7.5 years longer than those with less positive self-perceptions of aging.  Even hearing decline can be predicted by a person's stereotypes of the elderly.

Look at each of the areas below to see the profound effect the other 8 hours has had:
