HOW A POSITIVE MINDSET IMPROVES HEALTH

HOW A POSITIVE MINDSET CAN IMPROVE 

YOUR  HEALTH

“Gratitude is one of the sweet shortcuts to finding peace of mind and happiness inside. No matter what is going on outside of us, there's always something we could be grateful for.” ~ Barry Neil Kaufman

Being positive does more than just uplift your mood it is also highly beneficial for your emotional state of mind, physical health and well being.  Just as positive thinking has a direct impact on the body so does negative thinking, it weakens the immune system, causes emotional turmoil, ruins relationships and even causes weight gain.

Eva Ritvo, MD, vice chair of the department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine in Florida and co-author of The Beauty Prescription, says that positive thinking improves your mental health and reduces stress. "When you are optimistic, people are attracted to you. This leads to healthier relationships, more success, and decreased emotional stress. And of course, we know that emotional stress can lead to physical illness."

Negative thinking increases stress which increases inflammation in the body.  Inflammation is a huge culprit in aiding to illness and disease. As another expert, Debbie Mandel, author of Addicted to Stress, states "Positive thinking reduces inflammation, which is a byproduct of stress. It is important to reduce inflammation because it stands at the root cause of disease and plays havoc with your thinking."

Having a positive mental attitude about life is the first step to increase your health and well begin. Having thoughts and feelings of love, gratitude and forgiveness will create a positive atmosphere for your body, which will shift energy frequencies into attracting and becoming that which you wish for in addition it aids the body in healing physically and emotionally.

By having a positive mental attitude and letting go of negative self-talk your body will feel more energized and happy.  Feel good feelings will alter your energy frequency into a much higher state of being which will directly affect each aspect of your life.  By having admiration for your body as though it was a third person you will find that you will feel healthier, happier and will enjoy life more.
