There are many examples of how the power of positive thinking has changed people’s lives for the better. When we take a positive attitude, it helps us to be more successfully in most every aspect of our lives; and experts say it can be even more important as we age.
Tom Caklos, founder of the www.positivecreators.com website, explains that positive thinking “is a critical ingredient for the well-being and health when a person is on the last leg of his or her life after completing all responsibilities and fulfilling all goals.” He adds it is an important tool to help the elderly transform their lives and fill it with passion, energy and joy.”
So how can a senior who may be experiencing the loss of independence or a loved one, challenging health problems, and/or chronic pain cultivate positive thinking? Experts suggest getting into the habit of using positive affirmation to change negative thinking into positive thoughts. Moreover when we focus on the changes we wish to make in our lives, it can help boost self-esteem and confidence.
Positive affirmations can be simple and include things like giving thanks each day for your longevity and for all of the people in your life who you love and who love you. Be grateful for the wisdom you have learned in life and recognize your ability to contribute. Affirm that these are the best years of your life, that you have the right to good health, and the right to live with joy and purpose.
