Reflections on Optimism and Health

7/1/2012

 
Do optimistic people have better health?  Or if you have poor health are you more likely to be pessimistic?  My experience tells me that optimism leads to better health.  My experience also is that those who are sick do not always have the energy to be optimistic.  So, if you are unhealthy and pessimistic would there be health benefits in becoming an optimist?  If so, how would you make the change?            
Why be optimistic: 

·Those who are optimistic are more likely to implement and maintain changes to their health.
· Just being optimistic seems to attract more positive energy to your life.
· Optimists have more fun!  Life is short and the more fun in one’s life, the better, in my opinion.

Being an optimist is NOT putting on the “all is rosy” glasses.  It is looking at options and being able to weigh them to chart their potential as regards the option’s ability to bring a change for the better.  It is not accepting the bad but looking for a “way out of the problem.”  Steve Halford put it this way when talking about optimism in business:  “Optimists keep moving forward because they believe there are options. Pessimists don't usually persist in the face of setbacks and can be prone to inertia.”  If you want to read his complete article go to: The Successful Optimist: Why the language you use makes a difference,  www.entrepreneur.com/article/207648  July 27, 2010.  His ideas on business apply in the matter of health also.  If you think that you can improve your health, you will search until you find an answer that works for you.  If you think there is no hope of change for the better, then you will vegetate and remain in an unhealthy state.

Pessimism keeps you from trying new ideas—you stay in your rut and pessimism keeps you hanging on with no drive to change for the better.  Pessimism keeps you from positive feedback and prevents you from seeing positive change.  There is a well of unhappiness that the pessimist resides in that discourages change.

How do you change from a Pessimist to an Optimist?  Here are some ways and the list below is just a start.

a.       Go Outside – walk, garden, enjoy a sunset.

b.      Decrease your sugar intake

c.       Clean up your negative language

d.      Add laughter, for example:  see a funny movie, join uplifting friends, play with a toddler or a puppy.

e.       Practice gratitude and appreciation.  Every day upon rising or at bedtime, consider your blessings.  Write a gratitude journal.

f.       Implement the practice of giving to those around you, anything from a smile, encouraging word, helping hand or more.  Do this on a daily basis.

g.      Surround yourself with high quality:  Read uplifting materials, watch elevating videos, think positive thoughts, speak in a positive manner and spend time around like minded people.

Keep in mind that positive and optimistic friends will help keep you going with your positive changes.

If you are so unhealthy that you don’t have the energy to begin to be optimistic, consider going to a natural practitioner who may be able to jump start the process.  Consider Acupuncture, Homeopathy, Energy healing, Naturopathy, Meditation, Asyra, NES Health, and Shamanism.  Read up on supplements like CoQ10, D-Ribose and try incorporating these supplements along with eating a better diet (no processed foods, eat organically, add raw foods, etc).

We exist on a vibrational level.  Optimism and Pessimism are not themselves emotions but are states of being that create the space for our thoughts and emotions.  Pessimism equates with a lower vibrational level and optimism a higher level.  Disease and Illness are at lower vibrational levels.  Optimism allows you to experience higher emotions such as happiness, love and generosity.  Pessimism creates the space for disease and ill health.  Which comes first-pessimism or disease?  Does it matter?  You participate in creating your life.  An optimist is more likely to attract and create a good life.
                       
Don’t operate on autopilot.  Examine your life, live with integrity, learn how your body works.  I believe we have free will to choose to be optimistic.  Sometimes we need some help to achieve a more optimistic outlook.  Seek out assistance to gain an optimistic outlook if you need a helping hand.  Put into practice some of the tips listed above to grow an optimistic spirit.
