Extensive scientific and anecdotal research has proven that a positive attitude is crucial to good health, success, and long life. You don’t have to be a genius to recognize that positive people are also fun to be around. No one wants to spend time with a Debbie-Downer or Angry-Andy whose outlook on life is always downbeat and negative. Life is too short to spend our precious time around people who are always whining, grumbling, and complaining.
And none of us WANTS TO BE THAT PERSON, either. Have you ever known someone who is so relentlessly negative that being in their presence is depressing? Don’t be that person. Instead, try to be the person who lights up a room when you enter, the kind of person people WANT to be around because you make them feel happy.
The positive people, the upbeat and optimistic ones, are the ones who seem to bring happiness, laughter, and joy wherever they go. Those are the people we all want to be around and emulate.
A positive attitude has a multitude of benefits to both your mental and physical health and well-being, including:
- Better social life
- Improved romantic life
- Decreased stress
- Increased immunity
- Lower blood pressure
- Longer life-span
- Less depression
- Reduced anxiety
- Better coping skills
- Improved psychological well-being
- Better digestion
- Improved appetite
- Reduced migraines
- Improved emotional fitness
- Increased sense of humor
Most importantly, as a recovering alcoholic or addict, developing a positive attitude will create a powerful barrier between you and relapse. Think of a positive attitude as a deep, wide moat surrounding your castle of sobriety. Keep the moat filled with the clean, clear water of positivity and the armies of negativity that threaten your recovery will be unable to cross the divide and attack you.
