The positives of positive thinking...

Dear...

Positive thinking is not just a state of mind. It has some real benefits for your wellbeing as well. Positive thinkers or optimists have a different 'inner dialogue' than negative thinkers or pessimists. If you tend to think more negative and be pessimistic then you have to learn how to change your 'inner dialogue'. Use different words and thoughts and learn from more optimistic people.

  • Positive thinkers are in general more productive and more healthy, they are more resilient and persistent. 
  • Positive thinkers have a lower rate of depression, reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases. 
  • Positive thinkers have in general a better physical and mental well being and bottom line they just have an increased life span.

So If you are a negative thinker, your first positive change would be to accept the fact that negative thinking can be unlearned and positive thinking can be learned.
  • Change your attitude from seeing threats to seeing  opportunities. 
  • Instead of thinking: "it will never work";  think: "let me give it a try". 
  • Be someone that embraces changes instead of running away from it. 
  • Surround yourself with positive people. 
  • Stop yourself complaining about things that can't be changed like the weather. 
  • Always think the best can happen and not the worst.
