Keeping Up Your Mental Energy 

Just as depression can put you in a cycle of ever-worsening health and declining energy, a positive outlook can help you manage COPD better, and perhaps even slow its progress.

Mounting research shows that a positive mental outlook has definite health benefits. Optimists have stronger immune systems and recover more quickly from illness, injury, and surgery. When it comes to chronic illnesses like COPD, they tend to have less frequent acute attacks.

So how do you cultivate a positive mental outlook? Here are some tips below that can help you feel more cheerful and upbeat.

Exercise. Part of the reason your doctor wants you to exercise, even if only a tiny bit, is because exercise does wonders for your mental health. Movement stimulates the natural feel-good chemicals in your brain, and the more of those feel-good chemicals you can release, the less severe your physical symptoms seem.

Keep Up Your Social Connections. Isolation and loneliness, especially among the elderly, can be just as debilitating as physical ailments. Make an effort to keep in touch with friends and family. If you can't go out on the town like you used to, ask people to visit you in your home. Use the telephone and email to stay connected with the people who mean the most to you.

Count Your Blessings. It sounds trite and corny, but research has shown that people who focus on good things in their lives feel happier and more satisfied. You can use several techniques to remind yourself of the things that make life good for you. You can try to keep a gratitude journal, in which you write down events and things that you're grateful for or that make you feel happy. Or, before you go to sleep each night , think of three good things that happened that day ; if you can think of more than three , even better.
