Every emotion that surges or trickles through you causes a physical reaction somewhere in the body. A minor upset may take a couple of days to register as a headache or backache; a more vehement explosion of anger or hatred directed at someone could result in a terrible case of ulcers or colitis, because that emotion is pounding your body. But just as negative emotions have a negative effect on the body, so too do positive emotions have a positive effect.

不管你的情绪汹涌澎湃还是涓涓细流，它都能引起身体某个部位的一种生理反应。一点小小的烦恼也许在几天后就转化为了头痛或者背痛。一次更加激烈的对别人愤怒或仇恨的爆发，能够导致严重的溃疡或结肠炎，因为这种情绪在不停地对你的身体进行攻击。但是，犹如消极的情绪对身体有着消极的影响，积极的情绪也一样有着积极的影响。
