"Positivity makes you more attractive and resilient, with lower blood pressure, less pain, fewer colds, better sleep. Increase the number of positive emotions in your day, however fleeting. One can lead to another and so on, until we're in an upward spiral of positivity. ...Any healthy distraction – a run, a swim – that lifts your mood is good." (Barbara Fredrickson is Kenan distinguished professor of psychology, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.)
