The soul has no age. It doesn't die. Only the body decays.
And, yet, we must never forget the body, as it is garden
we must cherish and cultivate.

Your mind is like a spoiled rich kid! You have raised it to think whatever it wants, whenever it wants to and for however long, with no regard for consequences or gratitude....So when a thought arises, just watch it,; don't react to it.
"Oh I really want ice cream"...that's nice, see what it's like to want something but not always get it.
