The benefits of positive thinking, from Drs. Bernard & Eimer
Are you a person that believes the glass is half empty or is it half full, are you a pessimist or an optimist? Your answer can unlock many unanswered questions about your life, career, health, your relationships with others, and your general happiness.
A negative attitude can cause a decrease in the body’s immune system’s ability to fight off infection, resulting in chronic illness.
Living a stress free, positive life can be beneficial in many ways. Most studies show that positive thinking can improve your health and well-being. The Mayo Clinic published a study in December 2006, the study found that optimists report a higher level of physical and mental functioning than pessimists. The study was conducted on 447 patients who took part in a health survey over a 30 year span. Pessimists reported a poorer physical and mental functioning.
Try to approach unpleasantness in a more positive productive way. Think that the best is going to happen, not the worst. It is true, that a pleasant, good life is just what the doctor ordered!
