Fear and faith are the same; they both require you to believe that something will happen in the future.
Rather than worrying about something, why not look forward to it instead, in the same way that you look forward to eating your favourite food, or going on holiday?
A belief is just something that we repeat to ourselves regularly and look for evidence to support it.
Scientific proof that being positive helps
In his latest book "How your mind can heal your body", David Hamilton refers to a study that clearly shows that optimism is better for your health.
The study showed that 'optimists had a 45% lower risk of death from any cause' and a 77% lower risk of heart disease!
It won't hurt to try to be more optimistic - but it will hurt if you don't...
Quick action step
1. Write down a positive belief about yourself.
2. Now start looking for things that back it up.
Stick with it - with repetition you'll notice a change!
