Positive thinking doesn't mean you ignore anything bad; it's how you react to unfortunate circumstances. You keep your chin up even when there are many road blocks in life. Every morning you should say something positive in the mirror to help you start your day on the right track. If you're constantly running negative thoughts through your head; you'll most likely start to stress, which is not good for your health.
Managing your stress and remaining positive can help you reach any of your goals. Whether it is a fitness goal, work goal, or social goal; a positive mindset will help you get there.
According to the Mayo Clinic, the health benefits of positive thinking include:
?????????Increased life span
?????????Lower rates of depression
?????????Lower levels of distress
?????????Greater resistance to the common cold
?????????Better psychological and physical well-being
?????????Reduced risk of death from cardiovascular disease
?????????Better coping skills during hardships and times of stress
Most people who start optimistic stay optimistic throughout the day, work more efficiently, eat better and work out.
Stay in shape with a training plan.
