Experience Your Power 9® - Know Your Purpose: Health and Wellness Blog
Did you know that knowing your purpose can add up to seven years to life? If you would like to discover or redirect your purpose, please join us TONIGHT!
Experience Your Power 9®: Interactive Series Inspired By Blue Zones Project™. We have learned from Blue Zones Project™ that people who live longer, healthier lives have nine common characteristics, Power 9®. Over nine weeks,
we will celebrate the characteristics we do well and bring each one to life with a short activity.
First we experienced the 80% rule through food sampling at Crossroads Hy-Vee with dietician Stephanie Wharton. Then we brainstormed creating a Right Tribe while assembling dog tags used as an interactive component throughout the
Sullivan Brothers Iowa Veterans Museum. The third week we discovered a fun way to Down Shift through massage at d'vine Medical Spa. We followed that with a different perspective on Community through Tai Chi at the YMCA. After Tai Chi, we experienced Move Naturally through Zumba at Fusion Dance & Fitness. Then we had great fellowship (and wine :)) with Wine at Five at Luna in Cedar Falls. Last time we experience how plant-based foods can taste amazing with Plant Slant at Newton’s. TONIGHT we hope you can join us at the Cedar Falls Library to experience Know Your Purpose with Val Bullerman. According to Blue Zones Project™, knowing your sense of purpose is worth up to seven years of extra life expectancy. The Okinawans call it "ikigai" and the Nicoyans call it "plan de vida"—for both, it translates to "why I wake up in the morning."
We will finish the series next Tuesday, 4/2, 5:30-6:30pm, so we hope you can join us: Loved Ones First at the Youth Pavilion. Discover the healthy resources in the Cedar Valley that will help us become a certified Blue Zones Community™ and live longer, healthier lives! *FREE with LIMITED space – please RSVP on Facebook or call Jessica Crouch at 319-504-6689.
