When Life Gives You Lemons… Make Lemonade!!!

How do you feel when you hear a positive saying like this? Some people will roll their

eyes or shake their head. Maybe even chime in with a negative comment. Other people

will smile, nod and agree. Time and time again studies have proven that our attitude towards life

and situations we face have an affect on the outcomes. Research has shown that people tend to

become less optimistic later in life. While this may make sense, maintaining or learning to have an

optimistic thinking pattern and a positive approach to life can have amazing benefits. In fact, decades of

research has proven that healthy people who are optimistic report feeling better than equally healthy people

who are pessimistic. Keep in mind, being optimistic doesn’t mean someone is happy all of the time. Being

optimistic is deciding to face a situation with a positive attitude knowing there will be better times ahead. Here

are ten reasons why becoming an optimist may benefit you!

Case Management

Our brains and bodies work in mysterious ways! If you would like more

information on being optimistic or changing your thought patterns feel free to

contact me. My cup is half-full and I know we will get through this global

pandemic but supporting each other. Stay safe, Julie

10 Reasons to Think Like An Optimist

1. Optimists feel healthier - In a worldwide study optimists rated their health and sense of welling

significantly higher than pessimists did. Makes sense since optimists take lemons and make lemonade, right?

2. Optimists ARE healthier - A recent study found people with a high level of optimism have a healthier

heart and a lower level of triglycerides (bad cholesterol). Paying attention to your diet is still recommended.

3. Optimists are more likely to be Centenarians - Want to reach 100 years old? Learn optimism!

4. Optimists take fewer sick days - Studies have found strong connections between being optimistic about

our health and a having strong immune system. Does it mean optimists don’t get sick? Of course not, but

positive thinking can affect the severity of illness and your recovery time.

5. Optimists are less prone to freak out - Optimists produce less cortisol (stress hormone) therefore are

less likely to get upset, angry or panicked when facing stress. Optimists don’t sweat the small stuff.

6. Optimists are the best dates - It was put to the test! Romantic relationships benefit from a sunny

disposition and positive attitudes. Optimistic people tend to be happier in life and in their relationships.

7. Optimists have happier 9-5s - People who see their glass as half full identify as being happier in their jobs

and have fewer complaints at work than people who see their glass has half empty.

8. Optimists get more job offers and promotions - Ever think your outlook on life could affect

your chances of getting a job, promotion or raise? It does according to a study of graduate students.

9. Optimists are better at bouncing back - It makes sense right? When life gives you lemons do

you pout about it or make lemonade? Lemon pie or a lemon martini work just the same :)

10. Optimists make better athletes - It doesn’t always come down to muscle mass and

ability. One study of swimmers proved this to be true. After swimming their fastest,

the swimmers were given a false time (7 seconds was added to the actual time). The

optimists’ reaction fueled an even faster time in the next race where the pessimists did

worse. Adapted from happify.com

Badger Prairie Needs Network Update

Although BPNN’s building is closed to patrons, the

pantry is still offering assistance.

Those using the food pantry can drive up to the

front door where a volunteer will bring food to

you and load the food into your car. During this

time of crisis the food pantry will be open to

anyone in Dane County. Community meals and

mending day have been suspended.

Curbside Pantry Hours

Tuesday: 10 AM-Noon

Thursday: 11 AM-6:30 PM

Friday: 10 AM-Noon

Saturday: 10 AM-12:30 PM

Closed Sunday, Monday & Wednesday

To drop off donations for the pantry, come to the

back door during pantry hours and ring the bell. A

volunteer will come to receive your donation. For

safety reasons, the food pantry is currently not

accepting food donations.

Greatest needs at this time:

Toothbrushes/toothpaste, shampoo, toilet paper,

diapers (sizes 4,5, and 6), monetary donations so

they can bulk purchase laundry detergent and bar

soap.

More volunteers are always needed! For updates

visit their website at bpnn.org.

A call for

fall!

�

Hello and happy November everyone!

Now more than ever it is important to stay

connected and reach out to each other. Feel-

ings of loneliness and isolation can have a

negative effect on mental and physical health.

Sometimes having someone to chat with can

make a big difference. If you are interested in

staying social and would like to sign up to

receive a confidential call from a fellow

Verona Senior Center member please call

Lauren at: (608)848-0434. Phone calls will last

about 15-20 minutes and all content and

participant information will be kept

confidential.

Don’t forget to wear your mask and

stay safe!
