Gratitude boosts the immune system…

December 7, 2010

Imagine for a second that we counted our blessings ALL year long instead of just at Thanksgiving and Christmas.  What would be the result?  Better health and a stronger immune system, say researchers. Positive psychology, a recent health movement, has found that people who are more optimistic and grateful on a daily basis for their lives, take better care of themselves and manage stress a lot better.  Optimistic people tend to have higher levels of blood cells that protect the immune system, too.  In fact, adversity can boost feelings of gratitude.  Studies held after 9/11 showed that overall feelings of well being and thankfulness surged in our country which helped many people cope with every day stress.  For survivors of 9/11, the feelings of gratitude even helped them avoid Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.  What are some of the things you can do to live a more “mindful” life?

1. Maintain a gratitude journal on a weekly basis detailing feelings of thankfulness.

2. Create a list of benefits in your life and ask yourself, “To what extent do I take these things for granted?”

3. Talk to yourself in a positive, creative and optimistic manner.

4. Reframe a situation by looking at it in a different, more positive manner.  What good things could possibly come from it?

What do you have to lose (except feeling negative and helpless?) A new year begs for a new mindset.
