20: 9 Powerful Lessons for Living Your Best and Longest Life

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Following up on an old listener question, I’m taking time this week to shine a light on what explorer Dan Buettner has referred to as Blue Zones, regions across the globe where people seem to live much longer on average—over a hundred years, in fact! These areas include Sardinia in Italy, Okinawa in Japan and Icaria in Greece. Loma Linda California and the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica. There’s no supernatural reason why people in these zones live so long, rather that they make an array of small but significant lifestyle choices that increase not only their longevity but their quality of life.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These lifestyle choices can be boiled down to the “Power Nine” lessons, which range from adjusting and moderating one’s diet to developing a spiritually and physically close support system. At the core, it’s about having a strong connection, your outlook, how you move, and the way you eat.   In this episode, I explore these nine lessons in depth, explore their long-term effects, and explain how you can apply them to your own life. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I’ve opened up a new cohort for my Ascend Mastermind, which starts April 1!
