Tips on How to Experience Positive Thinking

Laughter is a powerful medicine. According to study, some benefits of a good-belly-laughter:

• Exercises your lungs.
• Stimulates circulatory system.
• Increases oxygen intake into lungs and blood.
• Produces endorphins which helps soothes the mind, relieves pain, elevates the mood, and increases the activity of the immune cells.
  
  

Of course it is hard to laugh when things around us look gloomy; but what most people do not know is that being positive equals’ faith in God. According to my favorite Bible author by the name of Paul, being happy is found in knowing that “all things will work together for good to them that love God.”

The following are some practical ways in order for us to develop optimism:

• Take a stock with your positive and negative thinking pattern and determine the origin. Keep a journal.
• Take a walk and find beauty in nature
• Give yourself a treat once in a while
• Surround yourself with “positive” people
• Observe children and once in a while join them!
• Take responsibility (i.e. in church, at work, in the community)
• Be conscious of procrastination
• Don’t be scared to have a good belly laugh!
• Develop a deeper relationship with God.
  
  
   

Just like Paul, I have learned to be “content with whatever I have; I know how to live with almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living, in every situation, with plenty or with little; for I can do everything through God who gives me strength.”
