It’s happened to everyone — we leave our lunch at home, wake up on the wrong side of the bed, twist an ankle, or get caught in the rain — and someone tells us to “look on the bright side” or that the “glass is half full.” While it may not necessarily be what we want to hear, they’re right! Positive thinking can benefit our overall health and fights off depressing thoughts! Positive thinking begins with self-talk, the unspoken ideas and thoughts that float through your head throughout the day. Self-talk usually incorporates logic and reason but can also be motivational and occasionally damaging (negative self-talk). As we navigate a busy world, ensuring you are kind to yourself and treat yourself with grace through positive self-talk is vital. Some benefits of positive thinking and self- talk include: • A longer lifespan • Increased pain tolerance A Glass-Half-Full Attitude Works Wonders
• Improved stress management • A healthier heart • Reduced depression • Improved problem-solving skills • Lower blood pressure • An immune boost
To embrace positive thinking and incorporate it into your life, you must learn to appreciate the good in every situation (even the highly frustrating ones), smile more, find humor in failures, practice gratitude, and act with intention.
Most importantly, check in with yourself occasionally — evaluate your thoughts and ensure you’re on the right track to maintain your optimism. Your health and well-being are tightly connected to your mental outlook, and in practicing positivity, you are giving yourself the best gift — the gift of a happy and healthy life.
So, try not to dwell on the negatives, but instead, make time to laugh, smile, and embrace all the splendors in your life that bring you joy!
