Our grandparents expended more than five times as many calories engaging in non-exercise physical activity. They didn't have fancy gym memberships.

Today, mechanical conveniences do most of our yard work, kitchen work, and household chores. (Anyone else have one of those robot vacuum cleaners?) We drive twice as many miles as we did in the 1970s, and fewer than 10% of our children walk to school, down from the high of 50%. Now, with online shopping, we don't even have to make the trip to the grocery store.

In contrast, blue zones residents are nudged into physical activity about every 20 minutes. That's why we asked our social community to tell us how they move naturally. Here's what they had to share ⬆️.

This week, take a cue from the longest-living people on Earth and get in some natural movenment!

Forgive those that harmed you...
For they were harmed too.
Forgive them
Not because you love them,
But because you choose
To love yourself.
Be free of burdens
Heavy emotions tucked away
In secret corners of your heart.
Oh, so heavy are hearts that carry secrets
Beautiful Soul Deep Woman
You deserve to be free
You deserve to see the world
Through the eyes of holy peace.
Gift it to yourself
Let it not take away what is good in you
Let it not strip you of your humanity
The sweet nectar of your soul
Because the world needs you
The world needs your kindness
Compassion and Love
So... become a safe space for yourself................................................
