The Science of Goal Setting:
A Key to Healthy Ageing
|
|
|
At Optima Living, we know that
setting goals isn’t just about
achieving milestones—it’s also about
fostering a healthier, more
fulfilling life.
Research
shows that goal setting plays a
vital role in healthy ageing. By
focusing on goals that promote
physical activity, mental
engagement, and emotional
connection, seniors can enjoy a
healthier, more meaningful life.
We encourage all of our residents to
dream, plan, and achieve. After all,
there’s no better time to start
setting goals than today.
Visit our library to discover the
science of goal setting and how it
empowers seniors to thrive.
