My age anxiety appeared when I was about 35 years old. I think that around 35 years old is really a small watershed in my life.

First of all, I have some problems with my physical health. Since my job is to sit in an office and engage in communication and management work, I am either in front of a computer or a mobile phone every day. Long-term sitting and lack of exercise caused unbearable pain in my cervical and lumbar spine and numbness in my hands and legs at almost the same time. So I took leave and went to the hospital for a comprehensive examination, including CT and MRI arrangements. It was found that the physiological curvature of the cervical spine had straightened, and it was close to the phenomenon of "reflexion", which also caused me to often have headaches and nausea, because The nerve has been compressed. Especially after a long day at work and sitting in the car going home after overtime, I will have nausea symptoms similar to motion sickness. I also have mild lumbar disc bulging in my lumbar spine, and sometimes the nerves in my left leg are compressed, which is very uncomfortable. Now you can't bend down for a long time, otherwise your waist will hurt when you straighten up.

Because my condition is quite serious, the doctor gave me "strong medicine", including acupuncture, massage, traditional Chinese medicine hot compress and other treatment methods. And because of the treatment three times a week, I also need to take acupuncture at work. I often ask for leave. Although my boss and colleagues don't say anything, I can see their dissatisfaction.

Before, I always thought that my body was not bad, and I was proficient in playing basketball and football when I was in school. However, from then on, I really realized that I was getting older, and my body had also undergone some degradation due to my carelessness. I began to worry about my physical condition, and I realized that I could not continue to deteriorate like this, otherwise my body would be even more overwhelmed. I still want to live a healthy life, I still have my favorite family to accompany me, and I still have great rivers and mountains around the world to appreciate.

In a person's life, physical health is 1, while wealth, power, and status are all 0. Without health, everything will return to zero.

So I began to actively exercise my body. I signed up for a gym membership at my workplace and would force myself to do some exercise during my lunch break or after get off work. Swimming, running, weightlifting, and cycling were arranged at least once a week. Even if the damage to the physiological curvature of the cervical spine will not be reversed, I hope to slow down the deterioration of the condition through exercise, relax the tense and stiff muscles, and allow the physical condition to develop in a good direction. After a period of persistence, I have now clearly felt the joy and benefits of exercise, and my cervical and lumbar spine are not as uncomfortable as before.

Another thing that makes me feel age-anxiety is work. The age of 35 is a hurdle for many professionals. Although I am not in the Internet industry and will not face the dilemma of leaving without promotion at the age of 35, in my company, if I cannot advance further in my position at the age of 35, I will basically have no opportunities in the future. However, who doesn’t want a promotion and a salary increase? But after the age of 35, you have basically cut off your options and can lie down.

In my opinion, as you grow older and have more life experiences, you will see more and more things clearly, and you will know better what you want in life. When I was young, I always thought that I had unlimited time to squander. There is endless energy to spend, but in fact these ideas are wrong. If you are young and don't work hard, you will really be sad. If you indulge your health when you are young, you will have to pay it back when you are old.

Therefore, I also advise everyone based on my experience to pay attention to your own health and not to overtax your body, such as staying up late or working at the desk for a long time. In addition, when you are young, you should work harder, learn more knowledge, and master more skills. You will never regret it. After all, if you have too many arts, you will not be overwhelmed. Nowadays, society is deeply involved and there is no way to make a living. Life is very depressing.
