Try to see the Blue Zones documentary on Netflix, even start and stop a subscription-it's worth it. There are a series of books on Amazon, but the Netflix documentary really make the message sing!
Blue Zones are areas around the world where people commonly live to 100 and ARE STILL HEALTHY AND HAPPY! You guessed it, these areas are not big cities, but the principles of healthy living for a happy life are universal. We can do this!
Recent years have been beyond challenging with covid and inflation. For those with mood challenges-phew! But Blue Zones has a detailled, structured life plan that we can adapt to our own situation in order to THRIVE!
Thanks to modern kitchen appliances, cooking healthy meals with hotpots etc is so much easier. I was failing in the areas of family/social network, pursuing a passion whether as a hobby or volunteering or work, exercise and taking care of myself instead of putting even the pets ahead of myself.
Blue Zones is a framework that can be adapted for anyone, even a co-dependent loner like me! Keep in touch and work on this with me. That will help us keep at it. With much affection, Val
