Let's talk about Positive Mental Attitude.... What exactly is the meaning of it....The concept of a "Positive Mental Attitude" was first introduced by Napoleon Hill in his book, "Think and Grow Rich" in 1937. He later went on to write several other books including "Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude".
Positive mental attitude is a psychological term which describes a mental phenomenon in which the central idea is that one can increase achievement through optimistic thought processes. PMA implies that one has a vision of good natured change in one's mind; it employs a state of mind that continues to seek, find and execute ways to win, or find a desirable outcome, regardless of the circumstances. It rejects negativity, defeatism and hopelessness. Part of the process of achieving PMA employs motivating "self talk" and deliberate goal-directed thinking.
Positive mental attitude means to respond positively to every situation in life. It means 'to strongly believe that everything in this world is good'. PMA means that happiness and unhappiness are defined by our assumptions and do not depend on what we are facing outside ourselves. It takes the form of sayings like "Our Attitude Decides Our Altitude." ....From Wikipedia
Question: Can a positive mental attitude really help me cope with stress?
Answer: It is very clear from research that's emerging that in general, a positive mental attitude is in fact a huge protector: A. against feeling unhappy when one is stressed out; but may also protect people from the physical damages that occur in the body as a result of stress. And this is probably because what a positive attitude does is it allows us to perceive stressful situations in ways that seem less threatening or less dangerous. And when that happens, our brain doesn't tell our body to activate all these stress and inflammatory pathways that damage health. So yes, there's a lot of evidence that a positive outlook is in fact good for health.
