>> DID YOU KNOW? People with the most optimistic outlook are up to 70 percent more likely to live to age 85 or beyond, regardless of their health habits.

Researchers analyzed data from more than 71,000 adults in two long-term studies (here's a link to the study: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1900712116), tracking participants for up to 30 years. They wanted to know if believing that good things are likely to happen was linked to “exceptional longevity.” Even after controlling for lifestyle factors like smoking, exercise, and diet, as well as chronic diseases and depression, the most optimistic individuals had dramatically higher odds of reaching 85 or older.

The effect held for both men and women and across different levels of health and stress. In other words, optimism didn’t just overlap with healthy behavior; it added something extra.

The researchers believe that positive expectations help regulate stress hormones, improve immune function, and encourage healthier coping strategies. Over decades, these slight differences in how people handle life’s challenges can compound into years of additional life.

If you want to strengthen your “longevity mindset,” start small. And here’s one method you can try tonight (and every night) that might help:

Before you go to bed, write down three good things that happened. When setbacks occur, write down why they are temporary and specific rather than permanent and personal.

You don’t need to ignore problems to live longer. You just need to believe you can overcome them, while also seeing the good in your life.

Our neighbors at Indiana Mentor are hosting this event today in the front part of our professional center's parking lot.
If your appointment is in the afternoon, you may need to enter through the opening to the Terre Haute Bowling Center's parking lot, and cut across to the east side of the building, to use the driveway at the end of the building to get to our parking lot.
Call us if any issues!

> >This event is being hosted in the front part of the parking area for our professional center tomorrow. The parking lot at the front of our plaza is going to be blocked off, so you will need to come in from the driveway at the end of our building. (We do not know when the displays and food trucks will be set up, so all may be normal in the morning.)
Your best bet in any case is to come in via the parking lot for the TH Bowling Center, follow the east side of our building to the end, then use the small driveway to get to our part of the parking lot.
Any questions, just give us a call.
