Here's an interesting science fact that immediately illustrates the benefits of positive thinking. You produce about 50,000 thoughts a day according to the National Science Foundation.
Of those 50,000, 70-80% of them are negative thoughts. That’s around 40,000 negative thoughts a day or 14,600,000 a year.
We are constantly simmering in a brew of negativity and need help with positive thinking.
Now maybe you are someone with a naturally sunny disposition. Let’s say you are 50% more positive than the average person. That’s still 20,000 negative thoughts a day — far more than you want or need.
There’s a reason we have so many negative thoughts. Research has proven that negative thoughts and emotions program your brain to take a specific action. These thoughts and emotions focus your mind and block out other thoughts so you can take the action.
