Power in positive thinking

Is there power in positive thinking? In my own opinion I believe that there is power in positive thinking. Positive thinking is a mental attitude that admits into the mind thoughts, words and images that are conductive to growth, expansion and success. The mental attitude of thinking positive expects good results and being positive about things it can lead you to be happy. Mostly everyone had things they wanted really badly and once that emotion hits in, all we can do is formulating the desire in our head. Having thoughts of obtaining it one day we just might grasp it. If one does not think positive in everything they do or they tend to doubt themselves then they wouldn’t believe that there is power towards positive thinking, but having such negative thinking it’s never too late to change one’s mind.
Have you ever wonder about how some people become so famous? It’s because they had this ideal goal in their mind to pursue this passion of theirs and all they can do is think about it none stop until they got what they want. Taylor swift who is a 19 year old, country girl music singer, at the age of nine she had realized she loved to write songs and sing. All she ever thought about was how she can make it big and be famous one day. She had never doubt herself and deciding to give up; she had this positive emotion telling her that she can do it. As she kept on trying and being positive her dream finally came true, she had won many music awards and is now well known.
Being negative will just lead to depression and unsatisfying results. One of my friend who has very low self-esteem, he had considered himself as a failure and a loser he was sure that he would never get a girlfriend. With a negative attitude towards himself, he had not tried talking to any girls and rejected himself of being unworthy. Doing so he have not been in a relationship for 2 years and if he never change his negative thinking into positive then the wait might just be longer.

DRAFT happiness and health

Happiness is a state of mind, a pleasurable feeling of enjoyment and satisfaction this emotion is the key to a healthier life, which everyone hopes to obtain. Most people who are happy make healthy choices, such as food, fitness and avoiding things that are bad for them. Studies have shown that happy people attempt to have healthier hearts and cardiovascular systems which could help people stay healthier. It also provides lower chances of developing certain kinds of diseases or even helps fight them. When happy the body feels relaxed and it is good for their self esteem. These things prove that being happy does make you healthier.

No one likes being sick but everyone gets a simple cold every once in awhile. People get sick in many different ways and most of us rely on medicine to heal us. To be less likely to catch an illness, we have to improve our immune system in order to avoid getting sick. As stated by Emma Medu, (Writer of the article Simple Rules How To Improve Your Immune System) “Being happy and generally content is a key to having a good immune system.” being happy can actually help boost one’s immune system. Her study shows that “feeling good and being content will raise serotonin.” The medical definition of Serotonin is an organic compound formed from tryptophan and found in animal and human tissues. It is active in vasoconstriction, stimulation of the smooth muscles, transmission of impulses between nerve cells and regulation of cyclic body processes. Having enough happiness will cause your body to be healthy and it can also help deal with certain illnesses such as cancer, AIDS or heart diseases. Research led by Dr. Karina Davidson of the Columbia University Medical Center shows that “being a happy person and adopting the attitude of being happy can provide powerful protection against coronary heart disease.” In her study she examined about 1739 healthy adults who were men and women. With this study she had proven that “Positive affect was associated with a reduced risk of 10-year incident coronary heart disease.” Being happy, enjoying life and even simply smiling is a powerful measure against coronary heart diseases.

One very important factor of living a longer, healthier life is inner strength and confidence. A way of being happy is trying to find an antidote for each emotion and that is by looking at the inner emotions, anger it self. It can look dangerous and menacing but having to think about ones anger then they would realized how unimportant and small it is. The anger within the person would end up vanishing and by doing this process each time it will dissolve little by little. When being happy the decision people make can lead to healthier choices such as food and fitness. It is a proven fact that certain foods may directly influence a person’s mood, even if it is only for a short while. For example, chocolate helps induce a calm, euphoric sensation by stimulating the release of serotonin and endorphin in the brain. Another example is tuna, which helps increase focus and concentration. This explains why some people eat chocolate when they are feeling depressed, which proves that their mood helps influence a person’s decision on what they eat. Many people eat certain foods according to their feelings. People spending long hours at work may be “in the mood for some tuna.” In a way, even if that person does not know that tuna improves concentration, their body knows this, so they habitually buy themselves a tuna sandwich during their lunch break.
Laughter is an audible expression of happiness. Aubrey Hepburn who was a famous actress who said, "I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person." when people are depressed they count on laughter to cure them. Some people use certain kinds of medications and other use things more natural like “laughter yoga.” Laughter yoga started by Kataria, she believes that “ true mirthful laughter can have a liberating transformative effect, one that momentarily erases all practical concerns, fears, needs, and even notions of time, and provides a glimpse into spiritual enlightenment” (81). And she also affirms that “ yoga is based upon the scientific fact that, even if you laugh for the sake of laughing, even if you are pretend laughing, your body cannot tell the difference” (80). Even if you are just faking that you are laughing the process will be the same more air will exhale than inhale which is a good way to help your body and mind release all those negative things and put them aside while you are enjoying your time laughing.

When finding the right person to be with, most people wouldn’t just want to be with any random person. People tend to search for someone that would match what they look or who interests them. Finding someone who doesn’t try to commit in their relationship or having to slack and doesn’t care to do anything to show how much they care, they will find themselves unhappy. Being In a relationship both partners have to try their best in order to make their relationship work.
Many people find it difficult being in a long distance relationship because of how far away they are and knowing if they can trust them. Most people would rather see their love ones daily instead of once in a long while, but having a positive attitude being in a long distance relationship can work out. Being away from a love one both must trust each other and make the time to see one another. Making the effort to see your love ones it would excite the partner and make them happier.
Planning romantic events improves the happiness in a relationship. It’s boring having to do the same thing over and over especially in a relationship, experiencing something new can always be exciting and enjoyable. If not having to do anything exciting together then the relationship is dull and you and your partners will not be as happy as you should be. Having to plan a nice event for your partner, not only they will feel happy but it would also make yourself feel satisfied and happy seeing them pleased.
In order to love someone, one must first accept them for who they are and not having to complain about what they lack of, doing so both couples will be unhappy. Most couples complain about how one should improve themselves to change into how they want them to be, mostly being able to change a person they would always end up asking for more changes.

           In all relationships you always will come across an argument and we end up finding something to  complain about. Arguing are some times good for couples, because you end up understanding more about them and it shows how they really feel. but it's not good to argue frequently that wouldn't be healthy for your relationship. In most relationships it usually start off perfectly like they way you wanted, and thinking you would send your whole life with him or her. It seems like you would do anything for each other but later on thing changes, it could be you have lost feeling for that person or you might just feel they some how get on your nerves. If one person in the relationship decides to stop showing any effort of being a couple then surely the other will complain. One complaint they might have is how they cant be that one special person as they were the first time you meet them. In my opinion as one obtain what they wanted it would feel like there is no need to try any harder. As you see this result you try to change them for the better and that's when you start to complain. If he or she is trying really hard to fix their mistakes then it should mean they are really committed in being with their lover. Trying to change them for the better is good but it is even better to accept them for who they are. It is important to accept the result because if not then who you really like is not the person you are trying to change. I once tried to change my boyfriend for the better, i wanted him to do more for me i thought nothing was good enough. As i ask him to change one thing and as he changed i started pointing out more mistakes, i found myself asking him to change over and over. I had realized what i was doing was selfish and what i was looking for was just something different, i had tried to change him into something he was not, when i am the one who liked him for who he was.
         Real Love is loving someone for who they really are and not what they pretend to be. Most people try to be different just to turn into the ideal person of what the other is searching for. If someone is trying to pretend to be who they are not then they wouldn't be happy like that. The Real Self is not the ideal it is acting like how you really are, a person who makes mistakes and have weaknesses. Being who you really are you  should never be unhappy with yourself of  what flaws you have. Loving someone for who they really are and being your true self  it leads to happiness. Have you ever had an ideal person who you dream of being with? When I was little I always wanted to marry a guy who is rich, nice and someone who makes me laugh.i thought i found someone who fit that description, he seems like he doesn't make any mistakes and would always do everything i wanted to do, he made everyone happy, and cared about everyone. At one point i had noticed he had flaws but he never liked showing it. The main problem he had was he didn't like talking about anything that would embarrass him. Sometimes the ideal person for you might not be the one who you want to be with.
            Spending time with your love ones are very important, doing so you get to know more about them and having them by your side you can always feel safe and comfortable. When being in a relationship most people wouldn't like to be with their love ones to much they would want there own space on the other hand i like being with the person even if i see him everyday. It's not only in relationship, it is also good to spend time with your family or other relatives, friends and others who are also important in your life.
