So every morning when I go downstairs, I turn on Good Morning America. I love Good Morning America so much more than the other news stations because it is much more positive and upbeat. It really does say "Good Morning" to America and it starts my day off on a good note. On this mornings show, one segment really stood out to me. They talked about how optimistic people statistically live longer than pessimistic people. Their focus study was on patients with heart problems and those with a positive outlook on recovery, lived longer than those who did not. On the show, they related this to real life. They talked with the doctors about those who had a positive outlook on life had less stress than those who have negative thoughts. Stress is not only the leading cause of heart attacks, but it wears our bodies down overtime.
SO, even though I may not know what the future holds and at times that can be stressful and scary, here is to keeping up my positive outlook. I am going to let God stay in control because he has a plan and I don't want to die when I'm 40.
If you want to look into the article, here it is...
