Great impacts of positive thinking or positivity

Positive thinking has grown to be seen of having great power in improving and curing illnesses. There are larger effects that positivity empowers.

Positive thinking doesn't mean that you keep your head in the sand and ignore life's less pleasant situations. Positive thinking just means that you approach unpleasantness in a more positive and productive way.

Positive thinking often starts with self-talk. Self-talk is the endless stream of unspoken thoughts that run through your head.

If the thoughts that run through your head are mostly negative, your outlook on life is more likely pessimistic. If your thoughts are mostly positive, you're likely an optimist — someone who practices positive thinking.

Researchers continue to explore the effects of positive thinking and optimism on health. Health benefits that positive thinking may provide include:
1. Increased life span
2. Lower rates of depression
3. Lower levels of distress
4. Greater resistance to the common cold
5. Better psychological and physical well-being
6. Better cardiovascular health and reduced risk of death from cardiovascular disease
7. Better coping skills during hardships and times of stress
Practicing positive thinking every day. If you tend to have a negative outlook, don't expect to become an optimist overnight. But with practice, eventually your self-talk will contain less self-criticism and more self-acceptance. You may also become less critical of the world around you.
When your state of mind is generally optimistic, you're better able to handle everyday stress in a more constructive way. That ability may contribute to the widely observed health benefits of positive thinking.

Focusing on positive thinking. Identify areas to change. Be open to humor. Follow a healthy lifestyle. Surround yourself with positive people.
Have a positive life span!
