Whether you live with a chronic condition or are simply facing the realities of living in an aging body, overall health is a central predictor of happiness for older adults\u2014as is each <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/exercise\/inspiring-78-year-old-grandmother-sets-lifting-world-record\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">person\u2019s attitude toward their health and wellness.<\/a> One interesting finding from the survey was that despite the disproportionate risk of the COVID pandemic for older adults, a majority (61 percent) expressed a less anxious, <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/exercise\/this-75-year-old-fitness-influencer-has-the-secret-to-aging-well\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more optimistic mindset,<\/a> agreeing that the pandemic gave them \u201cmore appreciation for what makes life meaningful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>2)  Family<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cHaving friends and family who care about me\u201d was a top priority for more than 75 percent of respondents to the survey, and \u201chaving a positive impact on family and others\u201d had the particular attention of retirees when asked <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/living-longer-living-better\/5-ways-to-rethink-retirement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">how they define success.<\/a> Especially after a year of unwelcome distance from family members, restoring connections and reinvigorating relationships are of paramount importance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3)  Purpose<\/strong><br \/>\nAn interesting finding of the survey was that more adults (67 percent) named \u201cspending time with loved ones\u201d as a primary source of purpose than those (40 percent) who identified giving back to the community.
