Everyone sometimes has a worse day, failures at work, illness of a loved one, quarrel with a partner, financial problems, a few extra kilos, and even a bus that left 2 minutes too early again can contribute to the fact that even our inborn optimism will suddenly disappear somewhere . It is even worse when we are dealing with a series of unfortunate events that follow one after the other, then it is really difficult to get positive thoughts. It is true that not everything in life goes as we would like it to be, and although it is said that we are masters of our fate, we do not really influence everything. healthy distance and try to think positive.
Read about how positive thinking affects our body.
1. Improves body immunity
If we want to strengthen our body's resistance, we should of course carefully compose our daily diet so as to provide it with all the necessary nutrients. You also need a proper amount of movement, preferably in the open air. It is worth knowing, however, that positive thinking also has a positive effect on our immune system. It encourages our body to act, stimulates the immune system and helps overcome the disease. When we think positively and smile more often, we are also less exposed to stress. Less stress is, among other things, less cortisol released into our body, which, when it is in excess, can seriously harm us, e.g. by weakening our ability to defend against diseases.
2. Favorably affects the work of the heart
The heart is a very sensitive and "emotional" organ, which is why it responds quickly to our emotions. Each of us has probably noticed changes in the work of the heart, which are felt when we get angry, we are in love, sad or very happy. When we are well-disposed towards life and try to get the best of it, our heart works much better, it balances blood pressure and pulse. Thanks to the efficiently flowing blood in our body, all its organs are properly oxygenated and nourished. Positive thinking also helps reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease such as hypertension and atherosclerosis. What's more, people who have less negative emotions are less likely to die from a heart attack or stroke.
3. Improves brain function
The "happy" brain works better, is perfectly nourished and oxygenated, and the happiness hormones released into the body give us energy, self-confidence and propel us to act. That is why, when we think positively, it is much easier for us to focus on work, study or even ordinary everyday activities. When we are positive about the world and people, we are also better perceived not only by others, but also by ourselves. We gain value, which in turn increases our motivation and ability to think creatively. Thanks to this, we achieve our goals more easily and develop our skills, which is very important, thus reducing the risk of dementia or Alzeheimer's disease.
4. Has a positive effect on beauty
People who think positively are less stressed, thanks to which their skin ages more slowly, and wrinkles that appear on the face with age, testify to their positive attitude to life and instead of disfiguring, they add charm. The condition of our skin is significantly influenced by the hormones of happiness, limiting the formation of free radicals and neutralizing their negative effects. Thanks to them, our skin is better supplied with blood and nourished, and the greater resistance of the body makes it better cope with all kinds of lesions and is less susceptible to irritation and infections.
I know that there are situations in life that make positive thinking seem completely impossible. Nevertheless, let's try to limit negative emotions, if we learn to find every day in what happened to us even a bit of luck, our lives will change for the better. Smile more often and think positively, and instead of looking for an enemy in another person, find a friend in him. Remember that you can always take fate in your hand and the good you give to others will surely come back to you one day, because good like a magnet attracts good to itself.
