How Negative and Positive Emotions Affect US

We all like to be happy and cheerful. In fact, people around us like our presence if we are happy-go-lucky types. Happiness is contagious. If we are happy, others are happy also. In fact, a smile can do wonders to our personality. It can attract many people towards us.

Human emotions vary. There are moments when we feel low and sometimes  we feel happy. Positive emotions are good for one’s well being and overall good health. Negative emotions can play havoc with one’s body system. Most people are positive particularly when things are working out well for them. Those who feel that life has not gone the way it should have been tend to feel negative about life. Such people are usually not appreciated as people like to feel good since they have problems of their own.

Excessive negativity is bad for health and needs to be treated if it affects us psychologically. With proper counseling and guidance much of the negativity can be got rid of and thus one can be more positive in outlook. It is not all that easy, but medical professionals such as clinical psychologists  are able to  change their patient’s attitude towards life so that they are more positive.
