The Power of Positive Thinking
Optimism and positive thinking have benefits that are backed by scientific research. Studies have shown that actively practicing positive thinking increases experiences of positive emotions and personal resources like mindfulness and social support, which in turn lead to greater life satisfaction and fewer depressive symptoms. Positive thinking can be cultivated by focusing on areas of change, maintaining a sense of humor, spending time with positive people, engaging in self-talk, and even faking positivity until positivity becomes a habit of mind.
