We all know that positive thinking can increase your overall success, but did you know that it can also affect your health? Studies have shown that positive thinking can provide health benefits. While this research is ongoing, it’s exciting to see how just changing the way your mind works can lead to a longer life. Here are some of the benefits of positive thinking:
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. Reduced risk of death from cardiovascular disease
7. Better coping skills during hardships and times of stress.
Doctors are unsure as to how positive thinking causes these changes, but they expect it has something to do with the connection between mind and body. They suppose it may be that thinking positively affects how you react to health scares, which increases your chance of experiencing a successful outcome. Research also shows that those who practice positive thinking are more likely to engage in a healthy lifestyle. Regardless, it’s clear that thinking happy thoughts keeps you healthy!
