The study, The Bright Side of Life: Optimism and Risk of Dementia, found that higher levels of optimism were linked with a decreased risk of dementia.
[…] there are several potential reasons for this: Optimistic people are likelier to exercise and practice other healthy behaviors, manage stress well, be cognitively engaged, and maintain strong social connections—all habits that can help protect brain health.
They also pointed out that optimism is not just an inborn trait; it can be learned and nurtured, even through simple practices like keeping a gratitude list
So, what have you been optimistic or grateful about recently?
Need some clothes to go with it, but I am optimistic I might be able to get a somewhat high ranking at a costume contest at the college I am attending that is coming up. Entering the fantasy category since I already have a snow leapord fursuit head that has 3 eyes. Seems pretty fantasy for me. Just need some clothes to fit both the theme and with my head/paws/tail.
I’m being reasonable and not saying I’d win since there will undoubtedly be better costumes, but I’m still hoping and aiming for a high ranking.
