Positive thinking is an emotional and mental attitude that focuses on the good and expects results that will benefit you. It’s about anticipating happiness, health, and success – essentially, training yourself to adopt an optimistic outlook.

How important is the power of positive thinking? It can make or break one’s path to healing. Your thoughts affect your actions. Your actions, in turn, translate into whether or not you succeed in your recovery, as well as influence the quality of your personal relationships and how you view the world at large. The power of positive thinking can’t be understated.
