Happiness and Physical Health of Reflection Journal

        In this lesson, it was great to get information about the relationship between happiness and physical health. In overall terms, physical health and happiness does not seem connected to each other in my opinion, but this lesson has changed my perspective about this point of view. It was so informative to know that happiness and well being is closely related to good physical health. But how they relate to each other in real terms, the answer can be found in the research conducted by Dr. Martin Seligman, who told that optimism is considered subjective health asset, which helps to reduce the disease like cardiovascular disease, and functional health asset is exercise, which helps to decrease the rate of mortality. I was so motivated to know that happiness can be so important for our physical health. So, in last few days, I have tried to remain happier. This change is noticed by my family that I am smiling and cherishing my time these days more than ever before.
