Design and Method: The research method is mainly based on current literature that includes various experiments associated with the quest to determine whether positive thinking impacts one's health and well-being. The individuals selected to be part of these experiments range from elementary school kids in Australia to college kids in Taiwan and undergraduate students in the United States. In addition to the inclusion of those who care for kids/family members with mental and health concerns, some conversations address how positive thinking might have helped some caregivers cope with their fears/feelings about their loved one's condition and how positive thinking is fitting its way into the world of health care. Information regarding the impact positive thinking can have is reported in the Results section. The research question is: How can positive thinking improve one's health and quality of life? – specifically regarding the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of health Results: The significance of this study is that positive thinking has the ability to affect one's mood and quality of life when used during a time of negativity and stress.

Positive thinking can improve your physical, mental, and emotional health when practiced and put into habit. Keywords: law of attraction, stress, health care, positive, thinking, manifestation | |
