The majority of people who are in the best third of their lives experience pain when they walk. Although life expectancy is fast approaching 100 years, the range of motion that people can achieve constantly decreases from the age of retirement onwards. Experiencing foot, knee, hip or back pain makes it harder to go jogging, go on city breaks, take walks or play with the grandchildren. But it doesn't have to be this way.

But for some people, there are signs that making a change shouldn't just be a fun annual ritual, but is in fact really necessary. Dr. Vinay Saranga says these are seven signs you really need to make a life change in the New Year: 1. You are always thinking of what could be: If you constantly find yourself thinking how life could be bet- ter or about things you wish you could do but aren't able to right now, this is a sign you need to make a life change. It's one thing to think about things you would like to do; however, it's something very different when you catch yourself obsessing about these things, be- coming depressed because you can't do these things right now and it just totally consumes you. You need to figure out what changes you need to make to move closer to being able to do these things. 2. You are "the glass is half empty" person: If you always find yourself thinking the worst, expecting things to go wrong, not believing you are worthy of great things in life, then you need to change. Start by reading some self-help and personal development books on self-esteem and confidence. Spend time with people who have an optimistic attitude about things. If that doesn't work, consider counselling or seeking out help from a mental health professional. 3. Not living life in the present: Some people are stuck living life in the past or are always trying to fig- ure out the future. We all think about the past and future from time to time, but never spending any time in the present moment is unhealthy and holds you back from growth, fulfillment and personal success. If something is bothering you from your past, make it a goal to bring closure to it this year. If you are worried about the future, realize that some things are out of your control and that making good choices and living in the present will help lead to a better future. 4. You are living for other people: One of the big- gest indicators that it is time to make a change in your life is when you are living for other people and not yourself. Make it a goal this year to let go of the approval of other people. Ask yourself: what do I really want for my life? What will really make me happy? Follow your heart and don't worry about other people. If they truly love you and care about you, they will sup- port your goals and dreams. 5. Nothing feels genuine: Some people just kind of fell into their life path by accident and have never been able to escape. Although things might not be all that bad, life just doesn't feel authentic and genuine. You know deep down what it is you want to be doing, and it's time to sit down with yourself and figure out how you can move closer to doing these things. 6. Every little thing bothers you: We are all both- ered by certain things from time to time, but does it ever feel like every little thing bothers you, especially New Year's resolutions that could change your life things that shouldn't? This could be as simple as needing to lighten up and find more joy in life to more serious mental health conditions like depression. Start practicing mindfulness and trying to change your reactions. If this doesn't help, seek help through a mental health professional. 7. You constantly feel anxious and depressed: Any symptoms of anxiety and depression should always be taken seriously, even if they seem minor. We all experience occasional anxiety and feel blue from time to time, but if it doesn't go away, this is could be a sign of an anxiety disorder or depression.
