Enjoy The Hell Out Of Your Life

In the Mayo clinic studies optimists lived significantly longer than pessimists. Happy people with good attitudes also had lower blood pressure, better health habits and feistier immune systems than pessimists did.

Between 1962-1965, 839 Mayo Clinic patients completed the same questionnaire and 124 were classified as optimists, 197 as pessimists with 518 falling in between. Thirty years later, ananalysis of data that  was available on 723 of these patients  showed that the optimists had a  significantly better survival rate  than anticipated and lived twenty percent longer than pessimists.

When I give talks on having a positive  attitude for your better life I encourage people to give up whining and complaining. The opposite of whining and complaining is accepting things the way they are. The less you whine and complain the better your overall health. The conclusion is that negative thoughts can literally make you sick.

People who are constantly negative are more prone to sickness. According to a study in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, "Negative brain activity is linked with a weakened immune system."
