Notes from Jackie
Did you know that being an optimist is not only good for your ability to manifest positive experiences, but it’s actually good for your health? A recent article in Parade Magazine pointed out that researchers tracking 100,000 women over eight years concluded that optimists had a 16% lower risk of heart attacks. A study by the Mayo Clinic looked at 800 patients over 30 years and observed that pessimists had a 19% higher risk of early death!
Wow! Are those statistics validation that our positive thoughts are powerful elixirs for a longer and happier life—and our negative thoughts are toxic to health. So as we get close to winding up 2009 and we enter into 2010, I urge you to make a concerted effort in the new year to see the best in all things and to optimistically look forward to and anticipate wonder, joy and abundance—so that you can indeed enjoy these over a long, happy and healthy life! Make this your resolution for 2010 and may it be the best year of your life—So far!
Jackie
