The secret to happiness and longevity is surprisingly simple.
In the latest Netflix docuseries “Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones”, author and National Geographic explorer Dan Buettner looks for the secrets of longevity, categorizing common features of life in different regions of the world where people's life spans are longest. These regions were called “Blue Zones” and the research revealed that there are nine evidence-based common denominators that unite life in Blue Zones.
Travel around the world with author Dan Buettner to discover five unique communities where people live extraordinarily long and vibrant lives.
How can we apply these 9 denominators to the key areas of our lives?
Career
Purpose-Driven Living: Having a sense of purpose in life significantly contributes to increased fulfillment and life expectancy. Set meaningful goals and align your actions with your values to live with intention and enthusiasm.
Stress Management: Stress is a silent killer so learning to downshift is vital for maintaining emotional and physical health
Well-being
Natural Movement: Instead of solely relying on structured exercise routines, focus on incorporating natural, everyday movement into our lives
Mindful Eating: Eat until you are 80 percent full, allowing ourselves to enjoy foods without overindulging.
Connection
Community: Prioritize and nurture relationships, and seek out supportive social circles that align with our goals and values.
In short, to achieve happiness and longevity, we need to practice work life balance.
The solution is simple, but can be difficult to implement in our current lifestyle. Unfortunately, the stressors of modern life and the environment we live in are the main reasons why many people are unhealthy and unhappy.
However there are steps you can take to be happy and it starts with:
The awareness of the areas you are struggling with
Deciding on a better way to lead your life and
Taking action towards the happiness
