It can be enormously beneficial, psychologically and physically, to make an effort to integrate positive thinking into every aspect of your life. You will reap the health rewards if you fallow a few basic guidelines:

• Consider that it is often much easier to be negative and critical so make an effort to be positive and encouraging to yourself and to others.
• Keep crises in perspective and if possible try to see them simply as problems that you can solve.
• Focus on the good things in your life.
• When faced with a situation that you find stressful, try calming strategies such as raking deep breaths or visualizing tranquil scenes or images.
