How does my attitude affect my stress?

Gratitude is Antidote to Stress

Don't Sweat the Small Stuff article by Richard Carlson, Ph.D.: We should not "ignore problems or pretend they do not exist. A bright future requires that we do all we can to solve problems and make the world a better place, yet at the same time learn to acknowledge and appreciate the good that exists as well. A positive, grateful focus encourages more of the same in the future. Gratitude is a powerful antidote to stress. It keeps us hopeful and our spirits high. It reduces our tendency to worry, which keeps us wise and kind. Gratitude keeps us focused on solutions instead of riveted to problems."
