Become More of an Optimist

Positive thinkers, or Optimists, enjoy many health and lifestyle benefits
and tend to be happier overall. Optimism is measured by how you define
events.
If you can learn to define positive events as being:
• Because of something you did,
• A sign of more good things to come and,
• Evidence that good things will happen in other areas of your life,
you’re halfway there.

If you can also think of negative events as:
• not your fault, and
• isolated occurrences with no bearing on future events or other areas of
your life,
you’re the rest of the way there!

1. The key to optimism is to maximize your successes and minimize your
failures.

2. It’s beneficial to look honestly at your shortcomings so you can work on
them, but keep a focus on your strengths.

3. Keep in mind that the more you practice challenging your thought
patterns, the more automatic it'll become. Don't expect major
changes in thinking right away, but do expect them to become
ingrained over time.

4. Always remember that virtually any failure can be a learning
experience, and an important step toward your next success!

5. Practice positive affirmative questions. They really work!

6. Be patient and stick with it. It is a lifestyle change.
