Positive Thinking For Good Health
July 28th, 2010 by isleydreamPeople who actively practice positive thinking are far less likely to become ill and are generally happier than those who make it their habit to find and cultivate the bad news in any situation.
Next time you feel as though you’ve caught a chill and are headed for a bad cold, try this positive thinking exercise. First, assess your facts. You were out in the cold and got damp and chilled. Sneezes ensued. OK, but it doesn’t necessarily follow that you’re doomed to a week of blowing your nose and feeling miserable. What can you do to ward off the bad effects of your chill? You can get warm and cozy, take a big dose of vitamin C and settle back with a cup of herbal tea and a good book. Don’t even think about coming down with the inevitable cold. Take care of yourself, stay warm and mentally give that cold the brushoff. You’ll be astonished to find how effective a remedy positive thinking is.
Positive thinking habits assume the best, not the worst. Let’s say you’re interviewing for a new job. Don’t be like Eeyore. Your negative attitude will show. The prospective employer will see your lack of confidence and your no-can-do posture as a negative communication. How will such a person fare when faced with a challenging deadline or major decision? Eeyore won’t get the job.
Forming the habit of thinking positively is one of the best actions you can take to improve your overall health. Your mind is a powerful ingredient in the recipe for good health!
Always consult your doctor or health care specialist before taking any medical advice or if you are in any way concerned about your physical wellbeing.
