To get rid of stress stop talking negatively to yourself.
Positive thinking aids in stress reduction and may even enhance health. Use the examples given to practise overcoming negative self-talk.

Is your glass half full or half empty? Your response to this age-old question about positive thinking may shed light on your attitude on life, how you feel about yourself, whether you're optimistic or pessimistic, and even how your health is impacted.

According to certain studies, personality traits like optimism and pessimism can have an effect on a range of aspects of your health and wellbeing. The upbeat attitude that it often involves is crucial for effective stress management. The health benefits of proper stress management are numerous. Even if you have a negative mindset, you can still improve it.

Understanding positive thinking and self-talk
Positive thinking doesn't mean that you ignore life's less pleasant situations. Positive thinking just means that you approach unpleasantness in a more positive and productive way. You think the best is going to happen, not the worst.

Positive thinking often starts with self-talk. Self-talk is the endless stream of unspoken thoughts that run through your head. These automatic thoughts can be positive or negative. Some of your self-talk comes from logic and reason. Other self-talk may arise from misconceptions that you create because of lack of information or expectations due to preconceived ideas of what may happen.

If the thoughts that run through your head are mostly negative, your outlook on life is more likely pessimistic. If your thoughts are mostly positive, you're likely an optimist — someone who practices positive thinking.

The health benefits of positive thinking
Researchers continue to explore the effects of positive thinking and optimism on health. Health benefits that positive thinking may provide include:

Increased life span
Lower rates of depression
Lower levels of distress and pain
Greater resistance to illnesses
Better psychological and physical well-being
Better cardiovascular health and reduced risk of death from cardiovascular disease and stroke
Reduced risk of death from cancer
Reduced risk of death from respiratory conditions
Reduced risk of death from infections
Better coping skills during hardships and times of stress
It's unclear why people who engage in positive thinking experience these health benefits. One theory is that having a positive outlook enables you to cope better with stressful situations, which reduces the harmful health effects of stress on your body.

It's also thought that positive and optimistic people tend to live healthier lifestyles — they get more physical activity, follow a healthier diet, and don't smoke or drink alcohol in excess.

Identifying negative thinking
Not sure if your self-talk is positive or negative? Some common forms of negative self-talk include:

Filtering. You focus on a situation's drawbacks and ignore all of its advantages. Say, you had a fantastic day at the office. You received praise for completing your work quickly and thoroughly after doing so ahead of schedule. Later that night, you don't think about the compliments you received and instead concentrate solely on your strategy to do further jobs.
Personalizing. You always hold yourself responsible for bad things that happen. You might, for instance, believe that the cancellation of a night out with friends was due to a lack of interest in being in your company.
Catastrophizing. Even without evidence of what might actually happen, you instantly assume the worse. Your purchase is incorrectly filled by the drive-through coffee shop, which leads you to believe.
