Positive Thinking: By Grace McTighe-Tassinari
Hello people. I have done some research about negative and positive thoughts and their effects on the human brain. I would like to share my findings with you today.
According to mayoclinic.org, positive thoughts can increase life span, decrease stress levels, improve resistance to the common cold, and reduce the risk of death from cardiovascular disease.
I did some research on ways to think positively and here are some I found on physiologytoday.com: if you listen to music, it activates the region of the brain that releases the feel good chemical dopamine and also relaxes your body! Also, If you follow your passion and do something you want to do, it makes you feel happy. If you find meaning in life, you are happier and healthier, and you live a longer, more satisfying life.
Listen up Bay Farmers, thinking positive is the key to life. Be it listening to music, singing, or hanging out with friends, go find your happy place and live a longer life. Everybody is unique, even Hugo the Minecraft zombie knows how to think positively and he is so excited the Middle School building is almost done!
This is a great post. I agree that thinking positive thoughts is much more productive. Another thing I am learning is that we should not believe everything we think. Sometimes, our thoughts are simply not true and they can lead us down a path of negativity. Also, if you dwell on a thought that is untrue and negative your brain reacts the same way it would as if your thought really was true. So let those negative thoughts just pass through your mind and watch them fly away.
I could not agree with you more! The positivity you put out into the world is what you will you will receive in return. I love this!
Just now seeing this — thank you Grace! This is my philosophy exactly. What you think and how you think shapes who you become (even more than what you eat!), so make it positive…it’s in your power to do that.
