5 Thought Friday

5 thoughts and just so you know, the future is coming faster than you think!

1.       What I am currently reading, viewing, or listening to:

• The Future Is Faster Than You Think; Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler

• I loved this book and Chapter 10, the Future of Longevity, is a must-read. This is the essence of why I believe I can live to be 110 and have a longer healthspan than ever thought possible.

2.       Gratitude Practice (for improved happiness):

• Grateful to see the light at the end of the tunnel as the world begins to see more normalcy. At least from my positive, rose-colored lens perspective!

3.       Wellness ideas to consider:

• Increase exercise and save money; a perfect article for an accountant!

• From BlueZones website on longevity, so check it out (thanks Boris)!

4. What I’m eating, drinking, buying, or whatever else is on my mind:

• 4 out of 6 for me and occasionally 5 out of 6 when I take a glass or two of wine. But have not tried nut butter(s) yet!

• Why did I write that….well, the six foods for longevity; Beans, whole grains, spices/herbs, nut butters, coffee, and wine

5. Quote(s) I am Pondering:

• “…with every other accelerating technology, it isn’t long before the benefits become demonetized and democratized. And this means that possibly you, and definitely your children, will have the potential to tack decades onto your lives, simply because, as time passes, all of us will intercept a gaggle of anti-aging technologies along the way.” The Future Is Faster Than You Think: Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler.

Happy Friday and quite possibly 5,200 more to follow if Diamandis is right!
