Positive thinking renders a positive effect on health as well; it lowers stress and improves your overall wellbeing. More focused: With positive thinking, you achieve emotional balance, which actually helps the brain to execute functions properly.
When positive thoughts are generated, when you're feeling happy, or optimistic, cortisol decreases and the brain produces serotonin, creating a feeling of well-being. When serotonin levels are normal, one feels happy, calmer, less anxious.
