Connecting With Others

In my last entry I wrote about the inevitable conflict that we all experience living with other homo sapiens. I quoted Marcel “Esse est coesse.” A close translation is, “To be is to be together”

Living with others and experiencing conflict far outweighs living in isolation from a health and wellness perspective. Connectivity or community support is vital to good health and longevity.

Social isolation delays recovery time from illness, contributes to depression and is linked with early mortality. You do not see those centegenarians in the Blue Zones living in isolation. They live in closely knit communities and are valuable contributors to their societies. They LIVE vital and joyful lives.

I like the idea of healthy longevity and was inspired by two articles written by my coach Dr. Michael Arlowki,Lifestyle as Art and Living like you were inTuscany. (The link is below, click on articles section.)

I live like I am in a village, and have relationships with folks in my surrounding community. I love to eat, shop, spend and celebrate locally! It is a greener way to live and very satisfying to be connected and supported by my community.
