#BeARoC

So, what does #BeARoC mean?

When you choose to #BeARoC in your own life, and become a positive advocate for yourself, for your future, and for others - the effect is radical. Together we can create a more optimistic and positive environment. That’s why we launched #BeARoC on TikTok, partnering with our ambassador Sarah Jessica Parker & creators like @mikaylanogueira and @glamzilla.

Share your #BeARoC story for a chance to be featured on RoC's social channels. Help us spread the word on the powerful impact of Optimism in your daily life.

The Positive Impact of Optimism

There is growing scientific evidence that embracing optimism has a positive impact on our futures. We consulted optimism experts and have identified some of the long-term benefits of optimism.

People who practice optimism…

Stay healthier
over time
Optimists have a 24% increased likelihood of no chronic diseases, no cognitive impairment, and good physical health over time.1
Improve mental
resilience
Optimism is a key tool used in cognitive behavioral therapy, helping people reframe how they think about themselves and their futures in a more positive light.2
Live
longer
Optimists live an average 11-15% longer3 and women who are optimistic have greater odds of living above the age of 90.4
Have
smoother skin
Anxiety about the future causes stress, leading to a loss of collagen & elastin that affect our skin’s health. But practicing optimism is like using an antioxidant – it helps reduce stress and in turn, keeps our skin smoother long-term.5

PRACTICING OPTIMISM

We know that developing a positive mindset doesn’t happen overnight, it takes time. That’s why we’ve asked our panel of experts to share ways we can implement more optimism in our everyday lives:

Taking Action

To ensure people of all ages have access to resources that will help them actively incorporate a positive mindset throughout their lives, we are working with our charitable partner, SeekHer Foundation, to create a Look Forward support program grounded in mental health advocacy and resource-sharing for the next generation of optimists and their parents. Programming includes expert-led workshops, weekly self-care guidance & reflections, youth leadership training, peer support, and more.

If you’re a mother or caregiver interested in joining the RoC x SeekHer #LookForwardProject Community Care Program for yourself and your teen, SIGN UP HERE.

We’ve also partnered with schools to create dedicated lesson plans on positive thinking and the practice of optimism. This curriculum, developed in partnership with our Expert Panel, will be rolled out to over 5000 students inschools across the country.
