Hello, dear companions! If, like me, you are eager to embrace the fullness of life, then this message is for you. There’s an ancient Tibetan proverb that whispers, “The secret to a long and fulfilling life is to eat half, walk double, laugh triple, and love without limits.” Seemingly simple, yes? Yet, it may just hold the key to making 2022 our most remarkable year yet.

Shall we unpack this wisdom together?

Eat Half:
Would you believe that a staggering 76% of Americans dine out at restaurants multiple times a week? No wonder our portion sizes have spiraled out of control! Just imagine if we began enjoying only half of what is served to us at a restaurant and savouring the rest for later. It’s a victory for our wallets and our waistlines. And let’s spare a thought for snacking – halving those portions could yield a significant impact.

Walk Double:
Here’s a delightful tidbit: Walking is a splendid form of exercise. What’s more, it’s entirely cost-free! Whether we are leisurely wandering our neighbourhood streets or opting for the stairs over the lift, every step counts. My dear friend Jo Anne and I relish parking our car far away in the lot, not just for the exercise, but also to steer clear of pesky dings and scratches on our vehicle. A double triumph, indeed!

Laugh Triple:
Did you know that laughter is akin to pressing the reset button for your body? It diminishes stress, enhances the immune system, and releases those delightful endorphins. Recollect the last time you enjoyed a hearty laugh – wasn’t it absolutely invigorating? Let’s seek out more sources of laughter and liberate ourselves a little.

Love Without Measure:
Loving without keeping score or expecting anything in return is an exquisitely beautiful way to exist. Whether it’s adoring a partner, a friend, or a furry companion, unconditional love is the true essence. It’s a formidable task, but oh so rewarding.

These steps may appear straightforward, but let’s not deny the reality – they are far easier said than done. Perhaps we can begin by concentrating on just one of these and cultivate it as a custom before progressing to the next. How about we commence today?
