Being intentional has farreaching benefits
For many of us the holidays mark the time of year where we celebrate all the things we sometimes take for granted.

Indeed when we have positive perceptions about our medical care were more likely to achieve our desired outcomes and recover more efficiently.
An example of that can be found in a systematic review of 19 studies involving nearly 3000 participants from 2005 to 2023.
