Regaining curiosity could help to bring some excitement

Talking about mindset and trying to change your view and do something new is not as easy as it sounds, particularly if you're aged 50 or above because these are habits you have done all - or at least most - of your life.

It’s proved that when you reach 40, the likelihood that you'll want to deviate from everything that you already know best (and already find comfortable), is reduced.

So perhaps it’s time to move out of that comfort zone.

Being stimulated mentally is just as important as physically.

Many people aged 50+ suffer from a lack of curiosity and are stuck in a rut.

Chemicals flow (and surge) when you're in your 20s and early 30s that make you more open to trying new things.

They are in shorter supply when you move into your fifth and sixth decade.
