RE: Expect Good Things (A Cheat Code for the Universe)

Some time ago I read an article that talked about how the attitude with which a person assumes an illness has an impact on his or her recovery. The more optimistic they were, the more likely they were to heal. Those who felt defeated from the beginning lost the battle more quickly. So, obviously what does it have to do with the type and degree of illness we go through, but if we have a hopeful outlook and stay motivated and strong, our “system” will react positively. In the end, perhaps that is what our whole existence depends on: what we think shapes our life. Positive attitude gives clarity to our existence. A hug

I believe in that mind-body connection very much. The book I'm reading now, The Myth of Normal goes into some detail about it. According to studies cited in the book certain personality types, people-pleasers, are more likely to contract all kinds of illnesses—cancer, heart disease, even neurological diseases. I suppose this makes sense that anything that adds stress to our lives will be detrimental. How's the week going?
