“Attitude” is comprised of the internal dialog we have with ourselves and our reactions to the outside world. Researchers continue to find compelling evidence that a positive attitude has beneficial effects to our well-being and health. These include:
Get Moving! Regular exercise, (at least three times a week), will have a positive effect to your mood by reducing stress. Mindful exercises like yoga, stretching, or Pilates provide additional stress-busting benefits.
Stick to a balanced diet. A diet with leafy green and vitamin rich vegetables and unprocessed foods will provide energy and help you feel happier. Learning to consume the correct amount is also an important factor to avoiding obesity and other chronic diseases that affect mood.
Positive affirmation. Sometimes we can’t help but feel overwhelmed. In these moments follow one simple rule: Don’t say anything to yourself that you wouldn’t say to anyone else. Try to think of the ways you’d encourage someone going through the same things and instead apply it to yourself.
Use laughter. By actively seeking the humorous side of situations it allows you to step back from a situation and see the bigger picture. It is okay to laugh, even during difficult times. There is a reason laughter is called the best medicine.
Positivity is contagious. Surround yourself with other positive, supportive people. Their attitudes will support an optimistic outlook in stressful situations, which helps maintain physical health. Alternatively, negative people may increase your stress and make you feel more overwhelmed, sapping much needed energy.
Watch out for negative influences. 24-hour news channels, celebrity gossip, even your internet “Home Page” can cause negative influences to seep into your day. Pay attention to what’s happening in the background and turn it off whenever you can.
