Positive Thinking Improves Physical Health

No one can avoid all negative feelings in life and it’s not realistic to think you can or should. But the happiest people somehow know how to buffer them by keeping life’s inevitable tragedies from spoiling the good stuff. And these folks may be the healthiest people as well. This section fills you in on the growing evidence that you may be able to improve your physical health just by changing the way you think and feel about your life.

All the advice to “keep the sunny side up” if you want to be healthy sounds all warm and fuzzy, but almost too good to be true. Actually, though, a load of evidence shows that your attitude about life can improve your health and even speed your recovery from a serious ailment or surgery. The attitudes that seem to help the most are optimism, hope, and, above all, a feeling that you have some impact on the quality of your own life.

Why You Should be Optimistic

No one really understands how or why a positive attitude helps people recover faster from surgery or cope better with serious diseases — diseases as serious as cancer, heart disease, and AIDS. But mounting evidence suggests that these effects may have something to do with the mind’s power over the immune system. One recent study, for example, polled healthy first-year law students at the beginning of the school year to find out how optimistic they felt about the upcoming year. By the middle of the first semester, the students who had been confident that they would do well had more and better functioning immune cells than the worried students. (See Suzanne C. Segerstrom, Ph.D., et al., “Optimism is Associated With Mood, Coping, and Immune Change in Response to Stress,” Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Volume 74, Number 6, June 1998.)

Some researchers think that pessimism may stress you out, too, boosting levels of destructive stress hormones in your bloodstream. Of course, it’s also possible that having a positive attitude toward life makes you more likely to take better care of yourself. And you’re more likely to attract people into your life (and keep them there) — which in and of itself may boost your health (see How Our Social Network Helps Us Thrive).

How to Become More Positive

We’re not saying that you should deny life’s darker side or interpret every calamity as a blessing. But when calamity does strike, try not to give in to despair or fatalism. Concluding that you personally have been singled out for suffering, refusing to see any silver lining, and abandoning all hope may not only be a recipe for illness: Such attitudes are also not such great ways to go through life. Try to recognize that your grief and pain, however real and deep, are only part of a larger picture — and that this picture includes many elements of pleasure, success, and meaning.

Another approach is to try to “use your pain” for good. Many people who have suffered from life-threatening and incapacitating illnesses — including cancer, heart attack, and the like — say that they consider their illness to be “a gift.” The illness taught them to value each day, appreciate the moment, and get their priorities straight. Sometimes they discover that they have the power to do things they never knew that they could.

Losing a breast to cancer, for example, has led some women to stop pouring all their energies into cultivating perfect bodies. As a result, they discover other interests and talents, such as French literature, tutoring, or race walking. Being forced to give up a high-powered job because of a disabling illness has given other people the time they always wished they had to pursue sculpting, chamber music, gardening, or other passions. We’re not saying that you should wish cancer, heart disease, or AIDS upon yourself, of course; but if you keep an upbeat perspective, even life’s blows can bring rewards beyond your wildest imaginings.

Remember that even if you can’t change the circumstances of your life, you can change your attitude! If you need help, talk to a health professional about whether psychotherapy, support groups, or other structured approaches might help you.

Attitude definitely seems to influence the course of illness. But some people take this link too far and make you feel that your bad attitude caused your disease or is keeping you from healing. Walk the other way if anyone makes you feel guilty for being sick or treats your physical ailments as if they were emotional or mental problems (included are physicians who banish you to a psychiatrist when you have no obvious signs of physical illness).

Healing With Positive Thinking

There’s healing power in positive thinking.

And in this article I show you how to apply positive thinking to improve your health and heal yourself.

Now there's scientific proof that you can heal yourself and improve your life when your positive, optimistic and focus on things getting better.

It all starts by applying the right kind of positive thinking so that you direct your subconscious mind to heal your body and improve your life.

Doctors confirm that you have this power - now start using it to improve your life and your health.

Today, I'll show you how the power of positive thinking helps you heal yourself and how to direct this power to recover faster while dramatically improving your life.

The power of positive thinking is so powerful that today Doctors strongly recommend having a positive mental attitude to prevent sickness and to overcome medical setbacks like disease and recovering from surgery.

It's about time... you see I've been saying it for years and now finally Doctors are getting it right.

You see a few months ago my mom went in for minor surgery, and when I went with her to see her Doctor the first thing he asked my mom was if she felt optimistic or if she was scared.

Then he asked - do you think you'll get through this?

I wanted to scratch my head simply because in all the years she's been seeing him he never asked these kinds of questions.

Now my mom is a pretty positive and optimistic person, and her responses were all positive. She's optimistic that she'll get better and she knew she'd recover from her surgery.

And today's she's doing great.

But on her follow up visit I asked the Doctor why he asked about her attitude.

He said it's becoming more and more important to have a positive mental attitude when ever you get sick or before you go in for any surgery. He said in some cases, they work with patients now to help them be more optimistic and more positive about their health.



Why? I asked (I just wanted to get his take on this).

He cited some recent studies which said that there is a clear connection between what you think and believe - and how the body works. That positive thinking, and positive beliefs lead to healthier, longer life.

This is quite a turnaround.

Because for centuries Doctors did everything they could to keep the mind and body separate (I know this doesn't make any sense, but that's actually what they did), saying the two were not connected.

Well now they finally admit that they had it wrong.

Dr. Ravinder Mamtani in New York, who has been leading the research in this field, says "In many cases if you have a chronic disease or illness, calming the mind will calm the disease or illness."

Calming the mind means getting rid of the negative thinking, being optimistic, and focusing on the positive aspects do that and you'll heal yourself.

All you have to do is learn how to be calm, control, and direct your mind so that you have a positive belief system and remain optimistic and you really do change your life.

Dr. Mamtani went on to find that patients who had or who developed a positive attitude and positive feelings had better outcomes and were more likely to rebound from medical setbacks.

So apply positive thinking.

Be optimistic.

Focus on the positive aspects.

Direct your mind and subconscious mind to help you get better and enjoy your life.

But there's more...

By having this positive attitude, by getting your mind and subconscious mind to be more positive and optimistic you attract more positive situations into your life.

You naturally and easily begin to have more success and achieve your goals.

So begin directing your mind and subconscious mind to help you heal yourself and you'll also enjoy greater success.

So if positive thinking improves your health, does negative thinking make things worse?

You bet. Doctors say a negative attitude or negative feelings and negative thinking lead to major setbacks and make any sickness worse. "There is now evidence for example, that hopelessness accelerates heart disease and increases mortality." Says Dr. Mamtani. Negative thinking increases the chances of heart failure and leads to an early death.

"The mind and the body's defense system communicate and work with each other." Said Dr. Mamtani.

That's why you really need to put an end to negative thinking. It does you no good and only makes your life worse.

There's scientific proof that negative thinking makes life worse, leads to greater struggle and shortens your life span.

So start getting rid of the negative thinking today.

Fill your mind with positive thinking and a positive attitude.

Be optimistic and look on the bright side of things.

There's also proof that positive thinking, an optimistic mind and a positive attitude leads to better health, a longer life and greater success.

Getting rid of the negative thinking and directing your mind and subconscious mind to be positive and optimistic is a lot easier than you think - you just have to persistent and work at it regularly. But it pays off.

Stop negative thinking.

Begin to create and maintain a positive attitude.

Train your mind to focus on positive aspects of your life.

Create positive beliefs that not only allow you to succeed - they also make you feel better.

To develop an optimistic and positive mind and subconscious mind start changing your beliefs and the way you see things.

Focus on how things can get better.

Believe that you can succeed.

Get rid of negative thinking by tracking your thoughts and eliminating the negative thoughts and beliefs.

Change them to positive thoughts and positive beliefs.

The changes begin when your subconscious mind begins to pick up the new belief system. It then begins to guide you to the situations, and opportunities to help you achieve your goals and improve your health. At the same time you begin to calm the mind and the subconscious begins to calm the body leading to better health.

When your mind begins to automatically focus on what you want and stops being negative you will begin to see dramatic changes.

Eliminate negative thinking.

Remove limiting beliefs.

Focus on what you want.

Create a new positive, optimistic attitude.

Create beliefs that allow you to enjoy life and succeed.

Ten Things You Can Do for Your Mental Health

Try these tips to help find the right balance in your life.*

1. Value yourself:

Treat yourself with kindness and respect, and avoid self-criticism. Make time for your hobbies and favorite projects, or broaden your horizons. Do a daily crossword puzzle, plant a garden, take dance lessons, learn to play an instrument or become fluent in another language.

2. Take care of your body:

Taking care of yourself physically can improve your mental health. Be sure to:

• Eat nutritious meals

• Avoid cigarettes

• Drink plenty of water

• Exercise, which helps decrease depression and anxiety and improve moods

• Get enough sleep. Researchers believe that lack of sleep contributes to a high rate of depression in college students. 

3. Surround yourself with good people:

People with strong family or social connections are generally healthier than those who lack a support network. Make plans with supportive family members and friends, or seek out activities where you can meet new people, such as a club, class or support group.

4. Give yourself:

Volunteer your time and energy to help someone else. You'll feel good about doing something tangible to help someone in need — and it's a great way to meet new people. 

5. Learn how to deal with stress:

Like it or not, stress is a part of life. Practice good coping skills: Try One-Minute Stress Strategies, do Tai Chi, exercise, take a nature walk, play with your pet or try journal writing as a stress reducer. Also, remember to smile and see the humor in life. Research shows that laughter can boost your immune system, ease pain, relax your body and reduce stress.

6. Quiet your mind:

Try meditating, Mindfulness and/or prayer. Relaxation exercises and prayer can improve your state of mind and outlook on life. In fact, research shows that meditation may help you feel calm and enhance the effects of therapy. To get connected, see Religious and Spiritual Resources.

7. Set realistic goals:

Decide what you want to achieve academically, professionally and personally, and write down the steps you need to realize your goals. Aim high, but be realistic and don't over-schedule. You'll enjoy a tremendous sense of accomplishment and self-worth as you progress toward your goal. 

8. Break up the monotony:

Although our routines make us more efficient and enhance our feelings of security and safety, a little change of pace can perk up a tedious schedule. Alter your jogging route, plan a road-trip, take a walk in a different park, hang some new pictures or try a new restaurant.

9. Avoid alcohol and other drugs:

Keep alcohol use to a minimum and avoid other drugs. Sometimes people use alcohol and other drugs to "self-medicate" but in reality, alcohol and other drugs only aggravate problems.

10. Get help when you need it:

Seeking help is a sign of strength — not a weakness. And it is important to remember that treatment is effective. People who get appropriate care can recover from mental illness and addiction and lead full, rewarding lives.

Mental Healing

Whatever exists at all must be the result of a definite image of thought held in the Mind of God or the Absolute, Who is the cause of all. Whether we think of man as a projection of God, an emanation of God, a manifestation or a reflection of God, we must realize that God, or the First Cause, holds man in His Consciousness as a Perfect Being, since the Perfect Mind could not conceive of an imperfect idea. If, on the other hand, we think of man as a part of God, which some schools of thought teach, we should then have to realize that man, as a part of the Divine Being, must inherently be perfect. This is a conclusion which is unavoidable. But man does not appear to be perfect; he certainly appears to have many experiences which are far from ideal. There can be no question but the human man suffers, is sick and has pain and eventually dies. To doubt this would be to doubt the evidence of the only quality we possess whereby we may consider ourselves conscious beings at all. We must, then, reconcile our conclusion of perfection with an experience which is apparently not perfect.

INDIVIDUALITY

While man must be, and is, a Divine Image or a Perfect Idea, yet he suffers and is sick. The answer to this is the same answer which can be given, philosophically, to the whole problem of evil--that man is an individual and does with himself what he wills. The Scriptures say, "God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions."  Individuality cannot be automatically produced but must be spontaneous. It could not be real individuality unless it had the ability to think as it chose; and it could not be individuality unless its ability to think as it chose were backed by a power to produce

p. 138

this choice; because, if nothing ever happened as the result of man's choice, he would live in a dream world, and his dreams would never come to objectification. This would be a world of illusion. But man has the ability to choose and is unified with a Law which automatically produces his choice; whereas he does not have the ability to destroy the idea of himself, he does have the ability to deface it, to make it appear discordant; but he cannot destroy the Divine Image.

We live in a Universe of Love as well as in a Universe of Law. One is the complement of the other--the Universe of Love pulsating with feeling, with emotion; and the Universe of Law, the Executor of all feeling and all emotion.

In taking up this lesson on healing, then, let us remember that back of the man which we see is the Divine Image. There is a Perfect Concept, held in the Mind of the Universe as an already accomplished fact, but man is subject to the law of his own individuality.
