If you or a loved one is having a little bit of trouble with activities of daily living, it might be time to consider a move to a Personal Care home. In these communities, residents experience the assistance they need while still being encouraged to remain as independent as possible, for as long as possible. Frequently, the situation presented in an atmosphere such as this is far healthier for the individual involved where both mind and body are concerned.
Retirement communities offer the following:
- Nutritious and delicious meals are served
- There are scheduled celebrations, activities, and events
- Concierge and transportation services are frequently provided
- Maintenance and housekeeping crews are there to assist residents
- Programs that promote spiritual, mental, and physical health are offered
- … and more
Communities such as these provide the opportunity for residents to retire in style. That said, however, those in their golden years can sometimes need a bit of a boost to achieve a more positive attitude on life. That’s actually true for everyone, not just retirees.
Positive Thinking
Including a lower heart disease risk, improved immunity, and stress reduction, positive thinking offers numerous benefits. It may, in fact, lead to a longer life! Regarding aging and optimism, researchers believe many rewards can be reaped when there is a decided focus on a positive frame of mind.
Live Longer and Prosper
A study done in 2019 determined that those engaging in positive thinking might enjoy as much as a 15% better chance of making it to or past the age of 85. Longevity is clearly affected by not only your physical health, but how you perceive aging. Keep in mind that, to some extent, other factors including health status, depression, income, and gender may also affect longevity.
Other positive thinking benefits include the following:
- As you age, you find deeper insight.
- Your resiliency to illness, stress, and more improves if you age with a positive attitude.
- You may find yourself looking forward to aging if you view the big picture with a positive frame of mind.
Embracing Positive Thinking
Here are some ways in which you can make a conscious effort toward embracing the power of positive thinking:
- Find other positive thinkers and regularly associate yourself with them.
- Practice meditation and loving kindness.
- Positive affirmations should be repeated as often as needed.
- Keep a journal to write about your gratitude and love of life.
