The Powers of a Cheerful Outlook

The Powers of a Cheerful Outlook

“I am going to ask you to something very weird right now.” (“The Powers of a Cheerful Outlook – Common Point in Our Life”) First, I want you to listen to your thoughts. Now tell me, what thoughts fill your head? Would you label them as positive, or negative?

Now let us say you are walking down the street with these thoughts. Do you think anyone who would meet you would be able to tell you what is on your mind? (“The Powers of a Cheerful Outlook – Personality And …”)

The answer to number one is up to you. But the answer number two can be generic. (“How Having a Cheerful Outlook Helps – Granite Fitness Blog”) Although people will not be able to tell you exactly what you think, they will have an idea of how you are feeling. (“The Powers of a Positive Attitude to Alleviate Stress”)

Here is another question. When you enter a party filled with friends, do they all fall silent as if something terrible had happened? Or does everybody there perk up as if waiting for something exciting to happen? (“The Power of a Cheerful Outlook – Our Wellness Line”)

Do you know what? “The answer to all these depends on your frame of mind.” (“Mellowdhy.com – The Powers of Cheerful Outlook”)

Thoughts are immensely powerful. They affect your general attitude. The attitude you carry reflects on your appearance, too – unless, of course, you are a great actor. (“The Power of a Cheerful Outlook – Our Wellness Line”)

And it does not end there. Your attitude can also affect people around you.

The type of attitude you carry depends on you. It can be either positive or negative.

Positive thoughts have a filling effect. They are admittedly invigorating. Plus, the people around the person carrying positive thoughts are usually energized by this type of attitude. (“The Power of a Cheerful Outlook – Our Wellness Line”)

Negative thoughts on the other hand have a sapping effect on other people. Aside from making you look gloomy and sad, negative thoughts can turn a festive gathering into a funeral wake. (“Mellowdhy.com – The Powers of Cheerful Outlook”)

A cheerful outlook attracts people, while a negative attitude repels them. “People tend to shy away from those who carry a negative attitude.” (“Mellowdhy.com – The Powers of Cheerful Outlook”)

We can also define attitude as the way of looking at the world. If you choose to focus on the negative things in the world, you have a negative attitude brewing up. (“Mellowdhy.com – The Powers of Cheerful Outlook”) However, if you choose to focus on the positive things, you are more likely carry a cheerful outlook.

You have much to gain from a very cheerful outlook. For one, studies have shown that a cheerful outlook promotes better health. “Those with this kind of attitude also have more friends.” (“Mellowdhy.com – The Powers of Cheerful Outlook”) projecting a cheerful outlook also helps one to manage stress and problems better than those who have a negative attitude.

A cheerful outlook begins with a healthy self-image. “If you will love the way you are and are satisfied, confident, and self-assured, you also make others are around feel the same way.” (“Mellowdhy.com – The Powers of Cheerful Outlook”)

A negative attitude, on the other hand, has, of course, an opposite effect. So, carrying a negative attitude has a twofold drawback. (“Mellowdhy.com – The Powers of Cheerful Outlook”) “You feel bad about yourself, and you make others feel the same way.” (“The Powers of a Positive Attitude to Alleviate Stress”)

If you want to have a cheerful outlook, you must feature healthy thoughts. This is extremely hard to do nowadays since, all around us, the media feeds us nothing but negative thoughts. (“The Power of Your Thoughts – Spindler eBooks”) “A study shows that for every fourteen things a parent says to his or her child, only one is positive.” (“The Powers of a Cheerful Outlook – Learn Self Improvement …”) This is truly a saddening thought.

“If you want a healthier outlook in life, you need to think happy thoughts, and you must hear positive things as well.” (“The Powers of a Cheerful Outlook – Learn Self Improvement …”) So, what can you do? “Well, for starters, you could see a funny movie, you could play with children, spend some time telling jokes with friends.” (“The Power of Your Thoughts – Spindler eBooks”) All these activities fill you with positive stimuli, which in turn promotes cheerful outlook.

Although it is impossible to keep ourselves from the negative things around us, you can still carry a cheerful outlook by focusing on the good things, the positive things in life. (“Mellowdhy.com – The Powers of Cheerful Outlook”)

And this cheerful outlook you now carry can be of benefit to other people. Sometimes when other people feel down, the thing people mostly do is try to give them advice. But sometimes, all they need is somebody to sit by them, and listen to them. (“Mellowdhy.com – The Powers of Cheerful Outlook”) If you have a cheerful outlook, you may be able to cheer them up without even having to say anything.

If cheerful outlook is great, why do people choose to adopt a negative attitude instead? One who carries a negative attitude may be sending a signal for attention. Before you get me wrong, feeling sad, angry, or gloomy is not wrong itself. But dwelling on these thoughts for far too long is not healthy either. (“Mellowdhy.com – The Powers of Cheerful Outlook”) There is a time to mourn.

As always, if you are beset by troubles, even in your darkest hour, focus on the good things in life, you will always have hope. Problems become something you can overcome. (“Mellowdhy.com – The Powers of Cheerful Outlook”)

You do not have much to lose by adopting a healthy, cheerful outlook. Studies show that such an attitude retards aging, makes you healthier, helps you develop a better stress coping mechanism, and has an incredibly positive effect on all the people you meet every day. So, what is not to like about a cheerful outlook? Adopt one today.
