Happiness, Health and Positive Emotions

You can’t separate happiness from health; they go hand in hand.
When you are in good health, your mind is fresh and you are full of energy. You are ready to take on a new day with zest and confidence. How do you feel? I am sure you feel great and you are happy. Happiness strengthens your immune system.
When you are depressed your immune system is weakened to attract disease. Furthermore, negative emotions like anger, anxiety, and sadness contribute to chronic stress.
Positive psychology has identified several positive emotions that can promote emotional resilience, health, and happiness. Here are some of the positive emotions that contribute to your health and happiness:
Gratitude: Develop an appreciation of your talents and capabilities. Be thankful to those who support you consistently in life. Be grateful that you get what you want and happy to enjoy what you have.
Optimism: One study found that optimists had a 19% longer life span on average. It shows that happiness and health are connected with optimism. The thing to do is that when you wake up each day tell yourself it is going to be another great day and you look towards the future with high hope and great expectation.
Flow: Enjoy doing what you are doing without realizing the passing of time because you are engaged and absorbed in fulfilling activities
Mindfulness: Apart from enjoying what you are doing at the moment you do not dwell too much on past regrets or worry too much about the future. You focus on the present moment because you know it is the only time that you can do the best you possibly can.
Serenity: Find solace in peace and calmness. Set free your mind from clutter and allow your body to be in total relaxation. Enjoy such precious moments from time to time.
Robert Holden, a happiness researcher, says,” There is no true health without happiness.”
Let positive emotions bring you more health and happiness.
