So, here is the question: If doctors agree that stress and anger kills, if they can see that love and positive thinking and being excited and upbeat make for a healthier heart . . .
Why don't they prescribe happiness?
If hospitals want to use every tool available to them, why don't they use these tools, as well?
I wonder if the answer is that these things are easier said than done. How to you make a person excited? How do you force them to be happy? (Forced happiness? Now, there's a thought. Cn you force someone to be happy?)
At any rate, trying to instill happiness and excitement into a heart patient's life is something I think they should endeavor to do, with most every patient and in most every case.
We choose our attitudes, to a large extent, so we, as patients, can choose to be positive and to be excited. We can take whatever good news we hear, and say, "I'm going to be excited about that." We can hear of someone who lived through a disaster, and we can say, "Wow! Wonderful, that is a great thing." If we act excited, we might get excited.
And, if we get excited, we might get healthier.
