1. Chronic Stress Causes Loss of Immunity
A research by Suzanne Segerstrom and Gregory Miller, which was done on more than 300 cases of stress, and was spread over 30 years, found that negative thought led to stress which then negatively affects your immune system.
Chronic Stress causes immunosuppression which is a condition of decreased immunity from diseases. People who think their lives are stressful are more likely to reduce their “killer cell” count that fights diseases.
2. Positive Thinking Reduces Anxiety
A study done by the Kings College in London on 102 people who had generalized anxiety disorder found that positive visualization (similar to chanting switch words) could replace intrusive negative thoughts.
As per the report, random participants were asked to do one of three things:
- Visualize the positive outcomes to situations that worried them.
- Verbally describe positive outcomes to situations that worried them.
- Visualize positive outcomes to unrelated situations.
At the end of the study, all the three groups showed significant decrease in anxiety.
3. Happiness Increases Success in Health, Professional Life and Relationships
The final research was done on 275,000 people to see if being happy influences heath, wealth and success. It was conducted by Sonja Lyubomirsky (University of California) and Laura King (University of Missouri). The study found that:
- Among 5000 people, those who were happy had better health and low levels of self-reported sickness.
- Happy people were less likely to engage in smoking, drinking, addictions, etc.
- Happy people had lower occurrence of cardiac stroke.
