Actively cultivate good social relationships, as they are more powerful than many other health interventions (e.g., giving up smoking, diet, exercise) for promoting longevity, health, and happiness.
Elevate compassion as a high-value priority in all aspects of your life—personal, home, work, politics, and media—because it forms the basis of relationships and profoundly impacts everything you do and touch, contributing to a happy, healthy, long life.
Actively seek and foster moments where you feel loved and secure, as these feelings reduce anxiety and pain, and stimulate the natural production of beneficial biochemicals like oxytocin and endorphins.
Actively work on developing qualities like kindness and compassion in yourself, even in small ways, because you already appreciate these qualities in others, and they are fundamental to meaningful relationships.
Re-evaluate the societal belief that material acquisition leads to happiness; instead, focus on the quality of character in yourself and others, as this is what truly matters and is appreciated by people at the end of their lives.
Recognize and appreciate your inherent qualities like love and kindness in the present moment, without waiting for challenging circumstances, as these qualities remain regardless of external abilities and are a source of self-worth.
Regularly remind yourself that connection and relationships are what truly matter most, to avoid getting caught up in trivial things and to focus on what brings the most value and satisfaction in life.
Pay attention to how nutrition can impact your mental and physical well-being by supporting digestion and enriching the gut microbiome with beneficial bacteria and plant-based compounds.
