Good-Health Attitude
Topic Overview
Good health requires a positive attitude. It's up to you to decide to make the
most of things when you are faced with health challenges. This attitude—a
good-health mind-set—doesn't just happen. It takes work, every day.
The following tips will help you enjoy
a "good-health attitude":1
- Focus on your abilities instead of your disabilities.
- Focus on your strengths instead of your weaknesses.
- Break down activities into small tasks that you can
manage.
- Incorporate fitness and nutrition into your daily
routines.
- Develop methods to minimize and manage
stress.
- Balance rest with activity.
- Develop a support
system of family, friends, and health professionals.
