Manage Your Emotions and Opt For Optimism

Did you know that most illnesses are influenced by stress?
A positive and optimistic outlook can speed recovery and help you to maintain your health.

Research has shown that most illnesses, including headaches, backaches and heart disease, can be caused or influenced by your feelings and stress levels. When you experience life changes — positive or negative — your body needs time to recover. Having an optimistic attitude can help speed recovery and may even keep you healthier than someone with a negative attitude. By learning to “look on the bright side,” you can help counteract the negative effects of stress and improve your overall health.
The classic definition of an optimist is a person who sees a glass as half full, while a pessimist sees it as half empty. Optimists choose to feel hopeful about how they see a situation. Optimists are positive thinkers who practice positive “self-talk.” They tell themselves “I can.” Optimism, or positive thinking, can help accomplish a surprising number of personal and work goals.

Manage Your Emotions and Opt For Optimism

Find a role model. Find someone who seems to make the best of any given situation. Find out how that person maintains that attitude and copy their behavior. Chances are, optimism helps you role model to get through difficult times with fewer negative effects.
Practice positive self-talk. Ask and tell yourself positive things every day for a month (“Do I think I can do this?, YES I CAN”, and “I like myself,” etc.). Practice positive self-talk for at least one month before judging how it has affected your attitude.
