Hi folks, Im sure we all already know about this, but are you USING it in your life? In researching the scientific mind-body literature, one thing stood out: having adaptive attitudes can have an enormous impact on whether a person maintains their health or develops a serious illness. Optimism is one of the most important of all the traits identified as essential in staying healthy, something that can be developed even if it not one’s nature. The optimist puts ‘bad’ events in perspective and do not blame themselves and are realistic about what they can control. They are able to move on and see the world in a positive light. A fascinating study by Seligman of baseball players in the Hall of Fame, found those with a pessimistic attitude (blame themselves, are self-centered and often feel hopeless), had much greater overall mortality rate than the optimistic players. And, Where is decision making, Choice making, and taking Action in the above? Processes? Questions? Comments? Dr. John La Tourrette
