Believe in miracles!

Heal loved ones! Say a prayer for a sick family member or friend— even if she doesn’t know you’re doing it—and an Arizona State University study shows you’ll help speed her recovery and improve her health!

As Melody discovered, holding on to hope can help you:

Overcome obstacles! Keeping a positive attitude and having hopeful thoughts makes you stronger—and more likely to come through a difficult situation on top, say researchers.

Be happier! When you are optimistic about the future, studies show you’re more likely to be open to whatever good things—big or small— come your way!
