Humboldt General Hospital Wellness Coordinator Melissa House will lead the discussion.
House said, "There are many benefits from positive thinking."
House said the benefits of optimism can include fewer problems with work or other daily activities because of physical or emotional health, less pain and fewer limitations due to pain, less interference from physical or emotional problems when engaging in social activities, feeling more peaceful, happier and calmer, and increased energy.
House added, "Optimism is more than cheerfulness; it may be your most effective medicine."
May's seminar will continue a year-long series of "Healthy Year, Healthy You" presentations aimed at helping local residents achieve a greater state of wellness.
All presentations are held from noon to 1 p.m. on the third Thursday of each month. This month's presentation will take place on the second Thursday due to scheduling conflicts.
