2、憂慮
Unhappiness does not only depress your mood, it also negatively affects your health. In fact, depressed, unhappy people are twice as likely to develop heart disease. And it has been confirmed that personality profile Type C—people that tend towards melancholy, depression, and excessive worry—are prone to develop cancer. Do not underestimate the power of your mind. Your experience is determined by the energy you embody, and in the end, it is your choice to have a negative perception or a positive attitude in reaction to life's breakdowns.
憂慮不僅讓你心情沮喪,也損害你的健康。實際上,抑郁和不快的人得心臟病的幾率是正常人的兩倍。有證據顯示C型個性特征的人——那些有憂郁、消沉和過分擔心的人——更容易得癌癥。千萬不要低估你情緒的影響力。你的經歷是由你表現出來的能力決定的,但最終,在人生低谷的時候擁有消極看法還是積極態度是你自己的選擇。
Years ago, I had the pleasure of working with the late Norman Cousins. His research showed that the mind has a powerful influence on many physiological functions, including the immune system. He found that an increase in immune killer cells that attack cancer occurred in cancer patients who experienced 30 minutes of deep belly laughter every day for twelve weeks. Laughter also increases the release of endorphins, compounds that give you a sense of well-being. Undoubtedly, joyful people liver longer and healthier lives.
幾年前,我有幸同已故的Norman Cousins一起工作。他的研究表明情緒對許多生理機能有重大的影響,包括免疫系統。他發現,在經歷20天每天半小時捧腹大笑后,癌癥患者體內攻擊癌細胞的免疫K細胞數量有所增長。笑也會釋放體內的安多芬,這是一種能給你幸福感的化學物質。毋庸置疑,快樂的人活得更久更健康。
