LAW OF ATTRACTION: 133 or Bust!
In 1991, on the eve of turning 41,
I decided I was going to live till
I’m 133 — MINIMUM.
A healthy 133 years young…
in mind, body, and soul.
Along with being vegetarian, eating healthy foods, exercising regularly, and laughing in the face of adversity, I thought I’d add a little Law of Attraction to my daily routine to help keep my mojo workin’ for another 74 years.
Before I move on with my plan, here’s a reality check: I already have a ravaged face.
That’s because of the rock’n'roll life I’ve led, the roads of depression I’ve traveled, the sun I’m addicted to, and the load of crummy genes I inherited from my now-deceased mother.
At the moment, the wrinkles around my mouth are the ones that bother me the most. But I’m sure it won’t be long till they blend right in with the ones that are slashing my mug, from my forehead to my chin.
Another thing that makes me look older is my hair.
I got my first grey hair when I was 12; by the age of 28, my mane had turned to salt and pepper; nowadays, well, it’s mostly grey… a very light grey (see photos).
In 2006, sick and tired of my dusty locks which, back then, came down below my shoulder blades, I had my hair coloured a nice golden brown. Two weeks later, realizing that the grey would always pop back to ruin the look, I bought a clipper and shaved it all off.
In September 2008, deep in the throes of another capillary crisis, I had plum-coloured streaks brushed in. After going through the same process in December and once more last March, I have since chosen to drop the streaks and get used to my natural look. Instead of reaching for the clipper, I’m patiently waiting for the streaks to either fade out, grow out, or fall out.
So when I say I want to live till I’m 133,
esthetics are evidently not a priority.
My new motto:
GREY ROCKS!
WRINKLES RULE!
From now on, my mental and physical health, my strength, my endurance, my flexibility, and my humour-slash-happiness are what I intend to focus on in order to stay in top shape.
Enter Deepak…
According to Chopra’s teachings in his book Grow Younger, Live Longer – 10 Steps to Reverse Aging, the “normal” experience of the body and its aging is a conditioned response — a habit of thinking and behaviour.
By changing my habits of
thinking and behaviour,
I can change the experience of
my body and its aging.
Excerpt:
SETTING YOUR BIOSTAT
Close your eyes. Become aware of your breath, releasing any tension you may be holding in your body.
Now, choose an age within the last fifteen years
that you would like to be in biological terms.
(Note: I’ll be 59 this year, so I chose 49.)
This means you would like to have the physical and mental capacity of a healthy person at that age, that you would like your biomarkers to reflect that particular age, that you would like to feel and look that particular age.
Just as a thermostat adjusts the temperature in a room to a particular set point, so, too, your Biostat will orchestrate your psychology and biology around the biological age you have chosen.
This will happen through the following mechanisms:
- Your intention to stay at a particular Biostat will directly influence your body of energy, transformation, and intelligence. This is because intention influences your biochemistry through its infinite organizing power. This is the principle of teleology, which states that intended outcomes orchestrate the biological mechanisms to fulfill themselves.
- Keeping your Biostat in your awareness will influence your thinking, your moods, and you behaviour, and reinforce your intention to maintain your biology at that set point. Once you have identified your set point, begin affirming it five times a day.
We suggest practicing the following ritual upon awakening, before breakfast, before lunch, before dinner, and at bedtime. On each of these occasions, close your eyes and mentally repeat to yourself each of the following phrases at least three times:
Every day in every way, I am increasing
my mental and physical capacity.
My Biostat is set at a healthy __ years of age.
I look and feel a healthy __ years old.
Within a few days of performing this ritual, you will actually begin to think and act from the level of your Biostat. All your habits will be influenced, but even more important, your perception of your biological age and your experience of it will begin to shift. You will start to believe in your Biostat and its organizing power, and your new belief will shape your new biology.
Believe me,
IT WORKS.
Give it a try and let me know how you feel.
KEEP ON ROCKING IN THE FREE WORLD

Bonjour Ha!
If you check the footer, you’ll notice my blog is powered by WordPress and the theme is “Falling Dreams,” which is a free WordPress theme. My friend Tina modified it by switching the original header image, substituting it with my illustration. The width is also something very easy to play with.
Thanks for visiting my blog — glad you like it. Good luck with yours!
Peace
