• Optimism, the general expectation that good things will happen in the future, has been linked to various positive health outcomes, including increased longevity. Optimists have 19% more life span and are more likely to live to age 85 and above. Here’s how optimism influences longevity: (Mayo study)

• Optimists experience less stress, more positive emotions, and engage in healthier behaviors such as regular exercise, balanced diets, and preventive healthcare. They also have better immune function, cardiovascular health, and lower inflammation levels.

• Socially, optimists benefit from stronger support networks and healthier relationships.

• Studies show that optimistic individuals have a significantly lower risk of mortality and are more likely to live longer lives.

How to cultivate optimism:
• Mindfulness
• Gratitude
• CBT
