Episode 2: The Components of a Full Life

In this episode Dr Rocco shares what he thinks are the components of a full and rewarding life.

The components are connection, creativity and experience.

Connection or connectedness to oneself, family, community and important places is an essential component to a full life.

Creativity or having a creative outlet is another component of a full life. The creative outlet may be what people usually think of, such as art, music or crafts, but may also be anything that allows you to put your impact on the world in big and small ways. It can be creating a beautiful home, gardening, or creating community with family or friends. There are as many creative outlets as there are people.

Experience or experiences is the third component to a rewarding and rich life. We should strive to live actively in the world. This gives us a treasure trove of experiences. In addition to seeing and doing things, living a life of experience teaches us many new skills.
