It turns out that a variety of positive thoughts and emotions can actually protect you further from health risks.
Be in the moment. Look for excitement and enjoyment in everyday life.
Anticipate a positive future. After preparing for the future in whatever ways you can, relax. Future problems will inevitably come, but knowing you are ready and viewing challenges in a positive light can help to lessen their impact.
Surround yourself with support. Close family and friends make the good times better and the bad times more bearable.
Teach children to be positive. Teaching children to be positive at a young age can carry over easily into adulthood. When taught young, their risk of heart disease can be cut in half just based on their outlook on life.
