Resolve to think positively, smile and laugh

Thinking positively means that you will gain more from life. Benefits include improved self-esteem, better mental and physical health as well as enriched relationships.

Thinking positively means being able to laugh at ourselves. Smiling, laughing and developing a sense of humour go hand in hand with the idea of 'positiveness'. There is much to be said for this approach. Smiling, even when you may be feeling low, encourages and promotes communication and support from others. "Smile and the whole world smiles with you, cry and you cry alone." Laughing too can be infectious and provides the release of health-enhancing chemicals in the brain and body.
There is another important reason for thinking positively; it reinforces activity in the brain that can lift low mood. The more you think positively, the more you can deal with adversity and stress. Thinking positively also means, for example, being able to acknowledge the occurrence of an adverse event. Not every cloud has a silver lining, however, something can be learned from every situation - that's being positive.
