10 Life Changes You Should Make After 40 (4 of 6)

Steer clear of office drama

If you’re 40 years old, it means you’re still a good 25 years away from retirement. Instead of starting confrontations with co-workers over trivial matters, it is best to just not make a big deal out of things. When you look back on things, you’ll realize it was pointless to complain about others hogging the office supplies.

Making cooking your new passion

Now that you’re 40, you should forgo those daily trips to the fast food drive-thru just because you are either too lazy to cook or haven’t acquired the skill. In any event, it’s time to eat healthier than you ever have, and the best way to achieve this is by making meals yourself or as a family. Studies have shown that people who cook dinner themselves consume fewer calories versus those who regularly go out to restaurants.
