The age-old question asks, is your glass half full or half empty? Life is all about how you look at it and you would be surprised by how much better life can be when you choose the glass half full option.
The key to positive thinking is to take a situation that may seem bad, stressful, or frustrating and try to look at it from a new, more optimistic angle. For example, you may be taking a yoga class for the first time and think to yourself, "I don't know what this is going to be like and I'm probably not going to enjoy it." This thought automatically puts your mind in a negative place, and you are less likely to enjoy the experience. However, if you were to take the same situation and adopt a positive perspective, you may think "this is an opportunity for me to try something new and I may love it." Though this may seem simple, our thoughts have so much more power than we think.
According to the Mayo Clinic, researchers have found that positive thinking can help lower rates of depression, increase lifespan, strengthen resistance of the common cold, and much, much more. To read more about the science, click here.
