Optimism isn’t simply a matter of feeling. It is a resource for overcoming illness, pain, injury, anxiety and depression. It can improve your treatment outcomes and help you overcome complications. Your body is physiologically tied to your thoughts, beliefs and attitudes. For you to be healthy, you have to recognize connection that exists between your mind, body and spirit.

Here are some steps for creating a positive mental outlook:

• Remember that your mental expectations of your outcomes can influence your actual health outcome. Thus if you have a medical condition and expect a treatment to fail, it is more likely to fail then if you view it in a positive light. Consider placebo effect. Countless studies have shown that time and time again patients report relief from a placebo drug when they don’t realize they aren’t getting actual medication. It is simply belief that something positive will happen from pill that results in an actual medical change.
• Avoid negative thinking. If you find your thoughts turning negative, repeat several positive affirmations.
• Mentally picture your body healthy and well. If you want to lose weight, imagine what your body will look like when you have met your weight loss goals. Positive imagery can go a long way toward influencing your health outcomes.
