Positive Thinking and Viruses

Hum.... I just got this from one of my list serves, HCP:

A recent
study published in Psychosomatic Medicine reveals that people
who choose to look at the glass as half full are 33% less likely
to get sick when exposed to a virus. Why? Positive emotions
prompt the release of chemicals that strengthen the immune system.


No wonder we all get sick, with whatever virus is floating around, when we are stressed! Get a notebook! Start writing down every negative thing. Look at the silver lining of the negative. Write it down. Focus on the silver lining part of the problem throughout your day. See if it makes a difference.
