A study identified two factors that may buffer against some of the negative effects of cancer treatment: optimism and spontaneous self-affirmation

Hey, cancer survivors! Feeling a little blue? Well, a study published in the Journal of Health Psychology has some good news for you! Turns out, being optimistic and giving yourself some spontaneous self-affirmation (SSA) can do wonders for your mental and cognitive health.

Here's what went down in the study:

πŸ‘Š Researchers surveyed 326 cancer survivors about their optimism, SSA, cognitive and physical impairment, effect, health status, and information seeking.

🌟 The results showed that survivors who were more optimistic reported better health overall, even when controlling for SSA.

πŸ’­ Survivors who practiced more SSA reported a lower likelihood of cognitive impairment, greater happiness, and hopefulness, and were more likely to seek out cancer information.

So, if you're a cancer survivor, take a page out of the study's book and start affirming yourself! You never know, it might just help you feel a little more hopeful and positive. 🌈

POSITIVE THINKING IS POWERFUL!!

An optimistic outlook on life may help people live longer, according to a study from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Some exciting notes:

  1. Women who were optimistic had a significantly reduced risk of dying from major causes of death over an eight-year period.

  2. Optimism was linked to reduced risk of dying from cancer, heart disease, stroke, respiratory disease, and infection.

  3. Boosting optimism may have benefits for healthier behaviors and coping with life challenges.

  4. The study analyzed data from 70,000 women enrolled in the Nurses' Health Study.

  5. The most optimistic women had a nearly 30% lower risk of dying from any of the diseases analyzed in the study.

  6. Optimism may have direct impacts on biological systems, beyond healthy behaviors.

  7. This is the first study to find a link between optimism and reduced risk of death from causes other than cardiovascular problems.

  8. Optimism can be altered through simple and low-cost interventions, which could enhance health in the future.
