Step number one is to schedule some down time for yourself.
"Recharge time is your 'I'm going to take a bath' - we need that," Dr. London added.
The second step is to get in some play time. Playing is not just for children! Dr. London also says that "play time" can be a simple day at the salon, or by spending an afternoon going shopping. Or, you could also combine your play time and recharge time by having a pedicure and a cocktail.
Step number three is to get some sleep, and step number four is to get some exercise.
Step number five is to get in a mental activity, like reading a book, or learning a new language.
These are all things that keeps 73-year-old Margaret McQuade looking decades younger than her age, especially with step number six - maintain personal relationships.
"I have many friends of different ages; one's perspective of the world is interesting," said McQuade.
Step number seven is personal touch and sex. Dr. London combines these two to cover a broad range from simply snuggling with your toddler, to holding hands or having sex.
"I don't get enough of any of them in - sex? Not enough," said Ann Burden, a British Tourist.
