As years and decades fly by, your face reflects your life path.
It reflects the stress and joy – and that one time you fell asleep while tanning.
Every wrinkle is a memory to be cherished. A roadmap.
Yet, we still want to look and feel young.
And the best way to do that is by living a spiritual life.
Here are 7 must-know spiritual secrets for a face wrinkle-free.
1. Yoga, Meditation, Breathing
There are many spiritual practices for you to dabble in.
The most common ones are, of course, yoga, meditation, and breathing exercises.
But each practice branches out, encompassing various techniques.
So, what is the perfect anti-aging spiritual practice?
Well, that’s up to you to figure out.
To achieve the best results, find a practice that resonates with you.
For some, that’s yoga, a perfect exercise to shape and define the body.
But it’s not just about the physical side of things.
Meditation calms your mind and stabilizes your energy, which reflects on your skin.
As always, it’s about achieving mind-body-spirit equilibrium.
2. Reflect Gratitude
Stress is the most important factor to take into consideration.
And we owe it to ourselves to find ways to stay stress-free.
And what better way to reduce stress than by practicing gratitude?
It’s the best grounding method to stay mindful of the present moment.
And when you appreciate the now – you worry less.
You stop dwelling on the past and obsessing about the future.
After all, the only thing we really have is the now.
So, count your blessings by day and by night.
Recognize how good you already have it.
Cherish your friends, family, and the little things in life.
But never limit your potential or let go of your dreams.

3. Do What Makes You Happy
It’s funny. So many people know they’re unhappy and do so tragically little to change it.
Yes, sometimes, life gets in the way. It’s inevitable.
You’ve got responsibilities. Burdens. There’s so much on your shoulders.
Whether or not you’re fighting for what you deserve – stress piles up all the same.
But you don’t need to make drastic, life-altering changes all at once.
One step at a time, you can get where you want to be – where you need to be.
Every step in the right direction means the world and makes you a little happier.
Never pass up an opportunity for self-love.
Rediscover your hobbies. Write that book. Climb that mountain.
You owe it to yourself.
4. Seek and Find Purpose
Purpose is our very life force, the one thing pushing us forward, always.
Without it, we’re stranded.
You won’t ever have all the answers you’re looking for – and that’s fine.
Sometimes, it’s more about what you’re looking for, rather than finding it.
But when you’ve got that one thing fueling your drive, it means so much.
It’s the spiritual equivalent of feeling forever young.
It’s an endless source of energy that you can always tap into.
So, what’s your purpose? It’s never easy to find it.
It takes a lot of self-reflection to unearth it – and courage to accept it.
5. No, You Don’t Know Yourself
No matter how much soul-searching you do, you won’t have all the answers.
Turn every stone and beneath every stone is another stone to turn.
The soul is an ever-branching maze with no way out.
It’s beautiful, but you can’t map out every twist and turn.
And even if you know who you are, you’ll change.
You’ll change today, and you’ll especially change tomorrow.
But how does this help you look and feel younger?
Well, embracing this mindset encourages open-mindedness.
It puts the wind in your sails, pushing you to embrace new horizons.
And every new experience is an injection of youth into your lifestyle.
Just because you’re getting older doesn’t mean you should stop living.
6. Be Silly (It’s Not That Serious)
They say laughter is the best medicine – and it’s true.
It’s the best defense mechanism we have against the absurdity of life.
And if you don’t embrace it, you’ll frown and grow bitter.
But embracing a spiritual mindset sometimes feels like being a child.
It means rediscovering passion and being excited about everyone and everything.
And traversing the world with that beautiful childlike innocence.
Because, after all, nothing is that serious.
Inject life into your face and body by daring to be silly.
For some, this can be a little frightening. It’s outside their comfort zone.
But the only way to look and feel young is to live without fear.
And the only way to conquer fear is to leave your comfort zone.
7. It’s All About Self-Love
The modern way of living has us trapped.
We’re working all day. And it’s no different when we get home.
There’s always something that needs to be done.
So, now’s the time to reorganize your priorities.
And do you know what should always top the list? You.
Yes, even before your friends and family. Before your children, too, if you have them.
How can your children benefit if you’re a wreck?
When you shine love internally, it reflects outwardly.
In other words, loving yourself means loving others.
Put your needs first and take care of yourself.
A little dose of self-love every day will revitalize you.
It will give your skin a spiritual glow and shed away the years from your soul.
