RealAge Tip of the DAY for May 9, 2003
•Count Your Blessings
Are you in the habit of counting your blessings? Doing so could have emotional rewards.

In a recent study, people who recorded in a weekly or daily journal the things in their lives for which they were grateful experienced heightened feelings of well-being. The people who recorded hassles or neutral life events in their journals did not.

Keeping a journal also may help your memory. A study revealed that people who jotted down their concerns experienced improvement in their memories. Researchers speculate that jotting down worries may be a cathartic act. It gives people a designated place to deal with their concerns so that they can worry less at other times, thus freeing up cognitive resources for other things, such as remembering lists.
RealAge Benefit: Taking care of your emotional health and well-being can make your RealAge up to 16 years younger.
