TURN ON YOUR INNER OPTIMIST!

Happiness is more than an emotion! It's also good medicine. The researches have proven that the happier you are, the more you will lower your risk of cancer, strengthen immune system, improve your lungs.

Tackle tension with two little words. Say: "thank you." This relaxes body and mind enough to increase feelings of optimism, lowering your risk of physical problems, even slashing your odds of ever having headaches or acne breakouts. It sends your levels of the stress hormone cortisol plunging for hours.

Take a few minutes each week to smile about the small stuff, like a sunny day. Once a week send one a wish of thanks by e-mail or phone.

Writing thank-you note is proven to lower your stress level, which lowers your risk of having a heart attack, researches say.
