Is your glass half-empty or half-full?    How you answer this question about positive thinking may reflect your outlook on life, your attitude toward yourself and whether you're optimistic or pessimistic. In fact, some studies show that these personality traits - optimism and pessimism can affect many areas of your health and well-being. People with a positive frame of mind think about possibilities, growth, expansion and success. They think in terms of 'I can', 'I am able' and 'I will succeed'.  How can you develop this state of mind? You can do so by practising changing negative self-talk into positive spins.
