\n\t\tAttitude\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

Have you ever heard that a positive attitude is critical to your healing? Well, it is. What you think and how you see yourself healing is a very important step in your recovery. Scientific discoveries have come out this year to confirm that an optimistic attitude can be tied to health.<\/p>\n

“We know why optimists do better than pessimists,” says Scheier. “Optimists are not simply being Pollyannas; they’re problem solvers who try to improve the situation. And if it can’t be altered, they’re also more likely than pessimists to accept that reality and move on. Physically, they’re more likely to engage in behaviors that help protect against disease and promote recovery from illness. They’re less likely to smoke, drink, and have poor diets, and more likely to exercise, sleep well, and adhere to rehab programs. Pessimists, on the other hand, tend to deny, avoid, and distort the problems they confront and dwell on their negative feelings. It’s easy to see now why pessimists don’t do so well compared to optimists.”<\/p>\n

When I was sick and recovering in intensive care, I didn’t know if I had the will to live anymore. It didn’t make sense for me to just survive. You have to have the will and intention to want to live and to do so with a passion. To love God, give thanks for each day and to embrace life.<\/p>\n

Implementing positive attitude, gratitude & meditation allows you to experience the rewards life has to offer. You are so wonderfully blessed.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"gratitude\"\n

\n\t\tGratitude\n\t<\/h2>\n

\n\t\tGratitude Overview led by Danielle Mika Nagel\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

Gratitude is so critical to achieving a positive attitude when we don’t feel positive. Giving thanks and being grateful are both key to being positive. Deepak Chopra, as co-founder of the Chopra Center, offers a 21-Day Meditation Challenge. They have offered many insights into the benefits of gratitude and being grateful.\u00a0Read more…<\/a>\u00a0More recently, he has joined with Oprah Winfrey for a series of meditations that are well worth exploring.<\/p>\n

Be thankful. Giving thanks each day has enormous health benefits and adds to your overall abundance. The Universal Law of Attraction says “We will attract into our lives the things we think about and focus on.” Wouldn’t we want more of what we are thankful for? Thus allowing for greater abundance to be made manifest in your life.<\/p>\n

“We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.”<\/p>\n

–\u00a0Thornton Wilder<\/a><\/p>\n

Maintaining a grateful attitude positively affects our physical, emotional and mental well-being. Studies have shown that people who practice gratitude are more optimistic than those who do not. Optimism has enormous health benefits. It improves our immune function, allows for better sleep, greater productivity and improved relationships.<\/p>\n

No matter what life brings us, being grateful reduces negativity and can transform our experiences. Naturally, we are bound to face challenges in our life. That is part of living on the physical plane. It’s making large and small choices and following leads.<\/p>\n

Being grateful for our situation, even if we don’t like everything about it, allows us to be thankful for the opportunity to learn something new. One of the fastest ways to improve our mood or outlook is to count your blessings.<\/p>\n
