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)
02
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
04
80% Rule
okinawans say it out loud before eating, hara hachi bu. stop at satisfied, not full
05
Plant Slant
06
Wine @ 5
one or two glasses, with people, with food. not a free pass
07
Belong
all but 5 of the 263 centenarians they interviewed belonged to a faith community
08
Loved Ones First
09
Right Tribe
