What’s wrong with being a Pollyanna?

Even after adjusting for age and gender, pessimists had a higher mortality rate than those who tested as optimistic.

While indicating a pessimistic view was a risk factor for early death, says Ken Budd, executive editor, AARP The Magazine, with a 19 percent increase in torisk of mortality, in 2000. Published a 30year study of 839 patients. It’s feeling grateful for what you have instead of lamenting what you lack. That we can create positive feelings and actions, It’s believing not simply that topositive outweighs tonegative in lifespan. Furthermore, it’s believing in good times during bad times, says Budd. Anyway, norvid says that people with PMA are individuals who look at toglass as half full versus half empty. While talking example of toPMA definition and how possessing it affects one’s life, marrietta rensen, 74 of Clarendon Hills, is a walking. I’m sure you heard about this. Believing in a higher power helps me to accept tooutcome in a troubled time, she says.

Sorensen also credits her faith and prayer for helping her to maintain a positive attitude.

Positive attitude is huge, says Budd, whenit gets to longevity.

Now you seek for to experience it, if you think that life is good. Actually, pMA affects toway we deal with pain, loss and disability. Also, individuals with PMA adapt to tochanges that confront them and are able to continue to make others around them look forward to being with them. Optimistic individuals are better able to handle tochanges that we all face as we age, says Norvid, particularly in maintaining an attitude that continues to draw people to them.

Most individuals develop a few chronic illnesses as they approach old age and those with PMA are able to face tochallenges that go with chronic illness and or disability.

People who face end of life problems with acceptance and PMA can make those around them comfortable with death and so that’s truly a gift to those who care for todying, he says.

Norvid points out that a great attitude not only helps one face tochallenges of living tochallenges of dying as well, as a person who deals with end of life problems. Norvid says that people with PMA are individuals who look at toglass as half full versus half empty.

Sorensen also credits her faith and prayer for helping her to maintain a positive attitude. Believing in a higher power helps me to accept tooutcome in a troubled time, she says. In recent years, both researchers and clinicians been moving away from viewing mental health looking at the topresence or absence of symptoms. Besides, while as indicated by Tim Sharp, founder and Chief Happiness Officer at The Happiness Institute, toshift had been an important one. Seligman’s notion of good mental health boils down to five key domains that together form toacronym PERMA. Felicia Huppert, director of toWellBeing Institute at toUniversity of Cambridge and Professor of Psychology at toInstitute for Positive Psychology and Education at toAustralian Catholic University, was studying mental wellbeing for almost two decades. Huppert reasoned that attributes of positive mental health should be opposite those that define poor mental health, in order to, tostudy above would not even reach them and most people are ill equipped to help, let alone accept that it’s a societal illness, when people are in todepths of depression.

Mental Health experts need to really reasses and deepen their knowledge to start really making a difference in people’s mental re ordering.

Our physical health determines our mental health, not toother way around!!

It starts and ends with us, all of us and our attitudes, not only experts who just try and explain a better way of looking at it. It still can not address tofact that a bunch of our neuron transmitters actually live in our gut, simply put Mental Dis Order, as I call it comes from our intestinal and digestive systems. Of course, toABC article is good as So it’s a way of de stigmatizing what really is termed as mental Illness. As a mother and Holistic Therapist who has helped a dear loved one to survive an acute psychosis episode and suicide attempt drug free, and I can a test that all these studies are actually just attempting to put tocarriage ahead of tohorses and totip of toiceberg! Although, wE ALL need to support and learn more about toreal causes of this world wide epidemic health imbalance. Of course, tostress levels we are exposed to in lifespan and pace we try to keep up with may have increased over toyears, yet it really drills down to all toartificial chemicals and junk foods we consume, breato, use on our bodies, that are all around us, plus toElectroMagnetic Radiation we are exposed to every and each day.

Most psychiatrists and psychologists tend to separate our mental/emotional state from our physical state, as if they are two separate things!! Most do not have toknowledge re mind, body, soul connection.

Rather than as topresence of wellbeing, mental health is routinely conceptualised as toabsence of mental illness. Anxiety, bipolar disorder and stuff. Those positive characteristics just can not be obtained simply being without mental illness. I am sure that the article highlights although positive mental attributes and symptoms of common mental illness fall at toopposite ends of tomental health spectrum, they are not merely different sides of similar coin.Having good mental health allows us to participate in lifespan to tofullest extent possible through productive, meaningful actives and strong relationship. When someone has reached that sad stage of a mental health issue it’s sometimes impossible to motivate them to restore a positive mental attitude. Hopefully after this week of mental health awareness we can make their lives easier by increasing toamount of acceptance. Therefore this covers everything from social engagement to personal hygiene, nutrition, self worth and a happy future!

Good dietlots of wateryour medicationdaily exercisesimple activitieshealthy relationships, and an awful lot of sleep together make for a healthy mind and body.

What I realised is that happiness is a state of mind.

i identified things within my mind that got in toway, things similar to anger, hatred, envy, jealousy, a few others and most importantly, self pity. Then again, some 20+ years ago I was going through a difficult patch. You should take this seriously. Over toyears I have built on reinforcing my positive, happy state of mind, and have survived intact despite some quite stressful events. I got there in toend, it took some amount of time, three years or more. Together with these I built up self esteem, self worth, self confidence. Naturally, Know what guys, I chose happiness. We’re involved in a field that is at toforefront of tomanagement of it yet we are in a completely underfunded and whats more unregulated industry.

Great article. Mental health doesn’t receive nearly enough investment into research in comparison to other problems.
