'Friendly, peaceful' people are more likely to be healthy as they are less likely to have family arguments, and less likely to get angry.

 Louise Hay writes in Heal Your Life: “Migraine headaches are created by people who want to be perfect and who create a lot of pressure on themselves. A lot of suppressed anger is involved...”

According to the late Louise Hay:

"Whenever we are ill, we need to search our hearts to see who we need to forgive.

Forgiveness means letting go. 

It has nothing to with condoning behaviour. 

We do not have to know how to forgive. 

All we need to do is to be willing to forgive. 

The Universe will take care of the hows.

But before you can forgive, you must learn to love yourself. "

A study has found "Britain's most extroverted, agreeable and emotionally stable regions".

Agreeableness means traits such as cooperation, friendliness and trust.

A survey of almost 400,000 British residents shows Scots to be amongst the friendliest and most co-operative residents, Londoners the most open and Welsh people the least emotionally stable.

Smiling Scots, worried Welsh and lazy Londoners.

"The most conscientious regions were in Southern England, pockets of the Midlands, and the Scottish Highlands, suggesting that large proportions of residents of these areas were self-disciplined, cautious, and compliant. 

"London, Wales, and parts of the North of England showed significantly lower levels, suggesting that comparatively large proportions of residents of these areas were disorderly, rebellious, and indifferent.

"Conscientiousness individuals were more likely to be married, older and on a higher income, with lower rates of deaths from cancer and heart disease."

"Metropolitan areas tended to show greater Openness appeared mainly in metropolitan areas, with London, Oxford, Cambridge, Brighton, Bristol, Manchester and Glasgow, but also in parts of Wales, indicating that a disproportion number of residents of these areas were creative, unconventional, and curious.

"Significantly low levels of Openness emerged throughout most of the East Midlands and East of England, suggesting that large proportions of residents of these areas were conventional, down-to-earth, and traditional."

"People were more likely to be emotionally stable in the South West and much of Southern England, as well as across most of Scotland, suggesting that residents of these areas tend to be calm, relaxed, and happy. 

"Overall, the survey found that regions with large proportions of people scoring low in emotional stability had more residents who were working class and physically unhealthy."
