Many researchers have found correlations between our thoughts and our health. An article in a recent issue of the magazine Spirituality and Health focused on the beneficial effects of an attitude of HOPE, an attitude of looking toward the future with a belief that good will triumph, or at least might triumph. Studies by several psychologists show that hopefulness is one of the most accurate predictors of immune system strength, longevity, general health, happiness, and a positive sense of well-being. What is more, researchers found that hope is not an accident of fate that one is simply born with or without—it can be learned and acquired. (My book, Steering Your Way Through Life, is one example of a guidebook to the beliefs which can generate hope in your life. Click on the “Tom’s Book” icon at the home page for more details.)

Recently I have received a number of requests for information about increasing longevity and reversing the problems of aging. Whether this is because I look so young and beautiful or just because I am in the holistic health field, I will leave up to you. (However, to blow my own horn, at the ripe old age of 69 I do get a lot of comments saying that I look younger than my age—maybe only 68-and-a-half).
