Simple Life

To live with worry and stress is to live a short life.

The secret many long-living people don’t disclose is to keep life simple. Less is more, in this case. Minimalist living is healthy living.

If you have less stuff, you have fewer worries.

Another secret to a long and healthy life is to make time to play. Find something you enjoy, such as a pastime or sport. Do it as often as possible. Make it a priority.

After you’ve played, don’t forget to get a fair helping of rest. Resting, relaxing, ruminating; these are essential elements when preparing for an extended stay on planet Earth.

Family love is another common theme in places where average ages are high. Apparently, if you want to live to a ripe old age, get yourself a family.

Longevity seems to be linked with laughter too. People in countries where humor is held in high esteem tend to stretch the years.

Obviously, the best way would be to have a family full of comedians. Raise children who love to laugh and play, then your long life will be ensured.

This is where I'm supposed to brag about how I've written seven novels, twelve screenplays, thousands of short stories, four self-help books, and one children's early-reader, but I'd rather stay humble. You can find out about things I've written or follow my barchive (web archive, aka 'blog) at xenosthesia.com or follow me on twitter @kurt_gailey. I love sports and music and books, so if you're an athlete or in a band or you're a writer, give me a follow and I'll most likely follow you back. I've even been known to promote other people's projects.
