Positive Ageing is about experiencing more happiness and satisfaction with life at any age. RDNS’ Education & Learning Centre studied and gathered evidence-based research about Positive Psychology.  

Our six factor ‘BE-ACTIVE’ model includes understanding what makes us feel good and finding ways to make this activity a bigger part of our life.  Doing this helps us to balance out the other (negative) stuff.

CONNECT   –   MOVE   –   BE PRESENT   –   LEARN   –   THINK POSITIVE   –   ENERGISE

Connecting makes us happy.

Happy people live longer, have stronger immune systems and have improved coping skills, just to outline a few positive paybacks.

Research tells us that we have a few general things in common, and money doesn’t make us happy – friendships and relationships do.

Stay in touch with neighbours, find ways to join family either in person, on the phone or online social networks.  The more we actively do, the happier we will be!   Join a class, a club, or volunteer and share the gift of your knowledge.  These are all great ways to stay connected and invest in you!  

RDNS New Zealand provides home nursing, care and support services to help New Zealanders live their best lives through better health and independence.
