At Blue Zones Project® and our parent company, Healthways, we'd like to think of our office as a “living lab,” meaning we try our best to practice what we preach by making healthy choices whenever possible through implementing the Blue Zones® Power 9 principles into our lives. Each week, we'll introduce you to a different colleague of our Right Tribe, and share his or her favorite Power 9.
Meet Brenda, who works on our Policy team. Brenda's favorite Power 9 is Moving Naturally.
Name: Brenda Patton
Job Role: Public Affairs Coordinator
Favorite Power 9: Moving Naturally - I love being being outdoors and kayaking on the Trinity River. It's a relaxing way to downshift while incorporating some physical activity.
Favorite work experience: One of my favorite work experiences was participating in the annual Healthways Holiday charity event last December. Instead of the typical annual holiday party, our company sends us on a shopping spree to purchase gifts for children in need. For me, it was a great reminder to practice gratitude during what can sometimes turn into a greedy season.
What do you do when you aren't working: Yoga, running and making memories with my family, my husband, and two rescue pups Ellie & Marlo.
