LETS BE POSITIVE

 Today we will talk about the Definition and  importance of  positive thinking and its effects on health  

Definition of positive thinking

Positive thinking isn't the same as trying to gloss over the negative things in life or ignore your problems. Positive thinking    is approaching the challenges life throws at you with a positive attitude. Instead of getting negative and worrying about a challenge, positive thinking will help you approach that problem with the attitude of "how can I make the best of this situation?'

When you find yourself in a situation, your mind tends to "explain" it to you. It gives you the explanation of why something has happened, and the way you explain it indicates whether you are a negative or positive person.

Importance of positive thinking on health

Researchers continue to explore the effects of positive thinking and optimism on health. Health benefits that positive thinking may provide include:

Increased life span

Lower rates of depression

Lower levels of distress

Greater resistance to the common cold

Better psychological and physical well-being

Reduced risk of death from cardiovascular disease

It's unclear why people who engage in positive thinking experience these health benefits. One theory is that having a positive outlook enables you to cope better with stressful situations, which reduces the harmful health effects of stress on your body. It's also thought that positive and optimistic people tend to live healthier lifestyles they get more physical activity, follow a healthier diet, and don't smoke or drink alcohol so they are better.
