Hello and how are you today? Did you know that depression could become the number one global illness in the next twenty years taking over cardiovascular disease and chronic disease? One in four people get depressed and now is a time when we need to step up fast and help each other.
How are you feeling? Are you OK?
Social connection and friendship is important. Making time to laugh and have good conversations and good energy with friends and family is critical to feeling good in life. Too much time by yourself can be unhealthy. So, find the balance that works for you.
When we are making time for ourselves then there are a few key things we can do to help us feel better and meditating has shown to beone of them. Meditation has been recorded for thousands of years. Some research has shown that the brain of a 50 year old who meditates is 7.5 years younger!!! Boom. So the Hipprcampus is the part of the brain where researchers look at aging and what slows it down. Its the one place where they can see in research whether an activity is helping us stay younger longer. When we are doing things that make us feel good and happy, then this part of the brain tends to be showing better preservation.
And the telemeres which are caps on the end of the dna are also an indicator of age, shorter and shrinking equals aging and decreased health, and longer and growing is all about youth and agelessness. So, where are you? and how do you know? These physical markers tend to be showing better results and less degeneration in people who are active, vibrant and positive about life. So does happiness help us live longer lives of better quality?
MIndfulness is the key according to some researchers,so is fasting. So many conscious practitioners and lifestyle medicine people all say the same thing.... How you feel is the indicator? If your subjective wellbeing says its good for you and you are having a better experience of your life then you are at a good place for wellness and happiness.
Here I am with my lovely Friend Bec. We often laugh and banter together. Its fun! In these days of lock downs its hard to catch up with friends. So social media, online video calls and some time on the phone all help. Are you making time for your friends and family now?
What is the impact on us, if we were taught at a young age to be mindful.? The idea of mindfulness is to be present in the situation and moment we are living now in an observers perspective without judgement and shame. Do you do that? It sounds simple doesn't it? Just be present! That involves us letting go of the past, not. thinking of the future and being able to embrace the present moment and living in the NOW! The more we can do that ... then maybe we could let go of some of that anxiety for the future, that depression about our lives and we might just become grateful and accepting and happy? Is that possible?
How do we live mindfully everyday for the rest of our lives? I think we just start with one minute at the time, one experience at the time and bring the concept of mindfulness and presence to our mind! Maybe do a course, Read about it, watch some vids. Talk to friends and see how they do it? Well thats not even hard. Just be here, be present and live simply. ]
