LISTENING TO WISDOM
Chatting to my fit and engaged 83-year-old Papa, I asked for his wellbeing mantra – I received the following note:
Dear Eldest Daughter,
Not everything in my life has gone according to plan, but what I do know is a guardrail of sorts helps me feel consistently joyful – even when the road gets bumpy.
Key factors contributing to a joyful demeanour:
Living with a trusted life partner and experiencing love
- Regular communication with family
- A small circle of true friends
- Active outdoors lifestyle, daily yoga, and meditation practice
- Healthy eating habits
- Understanding that nothing is more certain than change
- Lifelong learning, awareness of current and global affairs
- Love of reading
- Social and community contacts, projects, and supporting
selected charities - Passion for ethical, moral, and sustainable values
- Love of nature and the planet
- Practising a creative hobby, writing, gardening
& have some FUN. EVERYDAY.
Isn’t this beautiful? Perfect, actually.
