Someone has probably told you to “look on the bright side” or to “see the cup as half full.” Chances are that people who make these comments are positive thinkers. More and more research has proved the benefits of positive thinking. It suggests that not only are positive thinkers healthier and less stressed, but they also have greater overall well-being.

For example, when faced with stressful situations, positive thinkers handle them more effectively. Researchers have found that when optimists meet with a disappointment, they tend to focus on things they can do to solve the problem. Rather than throwing themselves into disappointment or things that they cannot change, they will make a plan of action and ask others for help and advice. Pessimists, on the other hand, simply think that the situation is out of their control and there is nothing they can do to change it.

In recent years, researchers have found that your mind can have a powerful effect on your body. Immunity (免役力) is one area where your thoughts and attitudes can have a particularly powerful influence. In one study, researchers found that people who were optimistic about a specific and important part of their lives, such as how well they were doing in school, showed a stronger immunity than those who had a negative view of the situation. It is reported that there are a number of health benefits linked with optimism, including a reduced risk of death from heart problems, less depression and a longer life. While researchers are not entirely clear on why positive thinking benefits human health, some suggest that positive people might lead a healthier life.

Before you put on those rose-colored glasses, it is important to note that positive thinking is not about taking a “Pollyanna (过分乐观的)” approach to life. In fact, researchers have found that sometimes optimism might not serve you well. For example, people who are blindly optimistic might overestimate (高估) their own abilities and take on more than they can handle, ultimately leading to more stress and anxiety. Bad things will happen. Sometimes you will be disappointed or hurt by the actions of others. This does not mean that the world is out to get you or that all people will let you down. Instead of ignoring reality in favor of the silver lining, psychologists suggest that we centre on taking a realistic view about our abilities, looking for a positive approach to challenges and trying to make the most of bad situations.
