馃blue zones' power 9

the nine habits dan buettner found across every blue zone, from bluezones.com. i teach half of these in class without saying it out loud.

01
Move Naturally
no gym membership required, just make movement the path of least resistance (modify as needed)

Purpose
having a real answer to 'why do i wake up' is tied to added years, not just vibes
03
Downshift
breathe first, then whatever the actual ritual is, a walk, a nap, coffee alone

Wine @ 5
one or two glasses, with people, with food. not a free pass
07
