Which guy is more likely to feel discouraged longer? Who is more likely to practice more and try again? Who is more likely to give up? Optimism lets us see disappointing events as temporary situations that we can get past. It strengthens us to try again rather than give up. It allows us to keep our goals and dreams in play so we can act on the motivation to keep working toward them.
Because of this, optimistic people feel more in control of their situations and have higher self-esteem.
Pessimism influences us to take disappointments and rejections personally. It also makes them seem more permanent than they are. A pessimistic outlook exaggerates the negative aspects of a situation so they overshadow anything positive.
Pessimistic thinking makes it harder to cope when things don't go as hoped. Optimism isn't about seeing everything as rosy. Optimists don't ignore problems or pretend life is perfect. They just choose to focus on what's good about a situation and what they can do to make things better. Optimists have true confidence because they're prepared: They know they need to study if they want to ace a tough test. They know they can't make the basketball team without practicing.
Optimism goes hand-in-hand with action. It's about finding a healthy balance of positive and realistic thinking.
Pessimism can drag us down — so it's good to know we can change a negative mindset. But that doesn't mean erasing all negative thinking. A healthy "what's wrong? Thinking about what could go wrong helps us avoid too much risk. Imagine your brother is texting while he drives you to rehearsal. Your negative thinking alerts you: "Hey, this isn't good! In this case you're combining pessimistic thinking "Texting leads to car crashes!
Just about all of us go through a rough patch now and then where it can seem like nothing's working. It's healthy to identify feelings when we're discouraged, and it's OK to talk about what's wrong. Confiding in someone can lift your mood and remind you of the optimistic possibilities.
They also make more money than pessimists and enjoy health benefits such as fewer colds, a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, and a longer life. Like any healthy habit, Wachob says optimism is something you need to practice every day. He and Mezzapelle share seven traits optimists share and the habits you can implement to become one, too:.
Wachob says simply reading inspirational stories can help. What other people do or say is a reflection of their own reality, not yours, says Mezzapelle.
Creativity of humans and the innate ability to evolve and adjust to new conditions. Curiosity about making better decisions. Current federal government strategic and supportive. Current good health and sufficient resources. I have the ability to make choices for myself.
Cynthia Franca and Cheryl Perreault. Dan Andrews prevailed against obvious lies and deceit in the Murdoch media. I hope this shows that the silent majority are sensible human beings. Despite all of the struggles throughout the globe climate is improving slightly and the right actions towards a better planet for all of us to live on are being made and more and more people seem to care about one another.
Despite all the challenges I am still here which is cause for optimism! Despite all the challenges society and humanity face in the next century, our collective ingenuity seems to be up to the task.
Despite any circumstances I may be faced with I can stay calm, assess things objectively and look for opportunities and silver linings. Despite many of the issues we face, people have a capacity to rise above them and focus on the positive.
Despite setbacks, humanity and our technology generally improves our lot. Despite the media whipping up the shock horror aspects of this, fundamental governmental preparedness for a crisis has seen a mostly orderly if not infallible response to this 'unprecedented' situation.
Even that idiot Andrews hasn't completely stuffed up the situation, er, aside from letting people die. Despite the serious and significant challenges of , the world keeps turning, seasons come and go, babies are born and life goes on. Doing what it is possible for me to do to improve whatever situation exists.
Doing work that I can see will make a difference. New administration in January Noticing more examples around me every day taking steps to mitigate and address root causes of climate change. Abundance mindset and supported by loving family and friends. Even during the tough times, believing that there are better days to come and working on how to make to make it happen is Optimism. Even though I do battle anxiety and can find myself overwhelmed and worrying, I work with these emotions by finding inspiration from others.
Their wisdom, leadership, integrity and authenticity enables me to reconnect with myself and move through these doubts and fears. The wonders of the world and the animals within it. Every day brings a new dawn. Every day creates an opportunity to be better. Every day is a day of opportunity and a day to be thankful for.
Everything from the daily rising of the sun and the moon through to the howling wind which sweeps through change following a rain storm Everything happens for a reason, make the mist of it. The world. Evidence from the slow arc of history and natural law. Evidence of selflessness and compassion.
Evidence required: I use a Bayesian framework for projections, and sadly most of my less positive ones come true far more often that I like. Exactly as above. Optimism creates positive energy, and that reflects back at you with everything you do.
Expect positive occurrences on all fronts of life. Expectations focus on what can be achieved with a positive attitude. Experience Belief in a good, positive world Belief that most people tend towards goodness and kindness Belief that things do work out in the end. Experience and consideration of the alternatives. Experience shows me this to be the case.
Tenacity gets a positive result. My glass is always half full. Experience that things have worked out in the past. Experience, resolve, resilience. Faced with challenges, one must look for that light at the end of the tunnel. It will always be there. Persist and you will find the light of success. There is much to be done, especially by the disgustingly rich and ruling professional classes, the people are coming and over time they prevail.
Faith in God and direction he provides me. Faith in humanity and it will all be ok in the end. Faith in most people that they care about others and that scientific community more appreciated as providing an important role on progress.
Faith in my ability and the interests of those around me being aligned to create a future that is better than that which we currently have. Faith mostly. Also, happiness and optimism is a choice - I choose to make the best out of whatever situation presents itself.
Faith that opportunities, innovation and transformation can occur when times are tough. Faith, open mindedness and trying to find the good in people and circumstances. Be the change you want to be.. Faith in finding a way. Perhaps confidence that there will be a way through. Let's face it, you will find a way without expecting to see one.
Family values and the way you were brought up, cultural background, faith, mental stability. Family, acts of kindness, leadership. Family, health and compassion. Family, health, generally positive attitude from my upbringing. Feeling gratitude that our previous generations found solutions to global problems. Finding hope and joy in the everyday and mining it. First it's my general demeanour, and second, I can see that issues have come to attention in a broader societal sense that need to be seen.
Focus on challenges, no pain no gain. Focusing on the good out in the world and positive statements rather than negative statements such as the news. For every negative issue in the world, there are many more positives, you just have to look for it and be prepared to embrace it. For me I believe I'm hard wired that way. For me optimism is a mindset. A choice each of us makes. We all have options and I choose to be an optimist, even in the most negative situations.
An optimistic outlook imbues options for others, making it a valuable trait for leaders at all levels. For me, optimism is a conscious choice. Forcing myself to feel optimistic. Forward looking and looking for opportunities that often come from adversity.
Forward looking and tend not to dwell on decisions. Seek the best outcome and review honestly the criteria I am using to judge the results. Friends, family, history of things working out, awareness that there are many more possibilities than what I can immediately see, mental and physical resources, and Christian faith.
Fundamental positive attitude on life. Future thinking and practices. General belief that good triumphs bad. General belief that we are guided to solve even the most difficult problems within Nature's design.
General confident outlook for humanity. Faith in the human condition. Positive attitude. General view that I will be able to adapt to make things better in the future. Generally, feel that things will go my way. Generally, feel that things will work out, be resolved or get better eventually. Generally optimistic person - sense of control and direction in life. Generally underlying freedoms in Australia's political, legal, economic and social structures create the opportunity for idealist and visionary people to explore and grow thereby maintaining a positive an evolutionary type pressure to the benefit of our society and its structures.
Getting over myself, love the world, others, the multimillion small and big ways I can share with others. Given the current climate, having infectious optimism may be a little concerning, I think optimism is driven by action orientation with a positive outlook and benefits to all.
Glass half full person. To make things better, more festive. More efficient. Or both.. God is still on the throne and my spirit says bright things are in my future God's grace and gratitude in Him.
Good Federal Leadership in Australia. Good health, family and friends I love. Belief that things will always work out in the end. Good leadership People being kind to one another.
Good people doing good things. Good people doing the right thing and having leadership for a shared vision for our society. Good people ultimately do good things and it flows. Good things happen to good people. Do the right things, work hard, and your future will sort itself out for the better.
Gratitude that I have work, a home, good food, great friends and good health. Growing number of people who wake up and become aware of what is the hidden agenda behind the pandemic.
Growing up I had an extremely pessimistic grandmother who I never understood and so I was very conscious of my optimism from a young age. It made me consciously optimistic in her presence! Had a good life with good family so I assume this will continue. Happy no matter what circumstances I find myself in Hard work over many years to get to a solid position.
Have always been optimistic, I never "make a bad decision" I only make the next decision from where I am, not where I should be, could have been or was. Have gratitude and happy with what I already have. Having a say in our leadership and decision makers, mostly open and transparent system to expose corruption, belief that humanity is good overall even if there are idiots among us.
Having direction not the same as 'certainty', feeling like there is a purpose to what I do especially at work , a general belief that things will get better and I can influence that outcome. Having lived through pessimistic incidents l have learned that better outcomes come from focusing energy on real solutions. Having purpose, being surrounded by love, belief in science.
Having the belief that people are generally good and that with every hardship comes great opportunities. Having the tools available that allow me to be flexible in the actions I take.
Having things to look forward to. Health, love, family and security. Healthy family and friends and the world in a better state. Hearing about decent people doing well and making a constructive contribution. Spending time in the natural world. Hearing stories of people making positive change. The sun. So much great problem solving is going on - recovering from COVID gives us an important opportunity to think in fresh ways.
Even the worst times in my life were catalysts for positive change. History has taught me that in there's always a light at the end of the tunnel, even though you can't see it at the time. Hope ,trust ,belief , faith and prayer. Hope and putting a smile on the face and reaching out to people. Hope and trust rather than believing ill. Hope for a better future where people focus on community happiness as opposed to individual success. Hope for a future of possibilities where many new and unexpected doors will open.
Hope for the future - always hope. Hope in humanity - there are more good people in the world that bad. Hope that the Fed Gov can take over Victoria and sort out this disaster. Hope that tomorrow will be better and that I'll be ok through connection to people I love.
Hope, creativity and optimism go hand in hand for me. If I am feeling at my most creative then I feel and experience optimism. My creativity in collaboration with others and experiencing time in nature, breathing and being inspired by what is possible reinforces my optimism. Hope, without the belief system that things will get better, must get better, I am nothing. Continual search for better outcomes.
How adaptable humans are to new circumstances. How does being pessimistic help? Human Beings and our essential nature. Human endeavour Emotion Learning in action Insight Acknowledgement. Human ingenuity and empathy. But this also causes pessimism on a smaller time scale for the reasons of mob mentality and trolling in our current society. Human ingenuity to solve most problems that face our lives. Human nature implies the pursuit of freedom and culture, despite all measures to contain the pandemic.
There will again be an upswing and a shift towards freedom of expression and culture - that is what I think and that is why I have been called an optimist. Human nature. In spite of all the awfulness I believe there is a core of good in nearly everyone. Humanity and people's fundamental kindness and care. Humanity has been doing its best to destroy itself and this earth for centuries, but somehow we find ways to rise above it.
It's the little things that connect us. Humanity need to find a new way to co-operate as we are all in this together along with more women becoming REAL leaders.
Humankind accesses some capabilities only at times of necessity. COVID has helped individuals appreciate more of their own capability. Humankind has, through the ages, demonstrated a remarkable ability to solve the many challenges and threats that inevitably arise. This continues to be the case and as a result our world is safer, healthier, more peaceful and prosperous than at any time in history.
I have known few effective leaders who were pessimists! Humans are beginning to accept that this pandemic is not going away and hiding from it is not the answer. They want to get back to being together. Humans are inherently good and have adapted for thousands of years.
Humans will respond to the climate emergency. We just have to maintain hope, get rid of fossil industry donations to political parties and lift the rage against the Murdoch media.
I believe that my potential for optimal outcomes is limited by the optimism of my objectives. To put this another way: "no matter how good or how bad your situation is, it is better if you are looking for opportunities rather than looking for excuses".
I admire human ingenuity and generally operate on the assumption that we can solve this we can get to a better place with brains and effort. I agree with the explanation provided. I always fix on the positive things that could eventuate, rather than what could go wrong. I take account of what could go wrong, try to minimise or counter these so that any downside is minimised while being focussed on getting the environment right for upside.
I always focus on the positive even though I am aware of negative implications. I also seek out opportunity in every situation and draw out learnings as a way of improving. I always focus on things I can control, under all circumstances. That attitude allows me to enjoy present moment without fear of future uncertainties.
Keeps me grounded. I always go with the view that the glass is not half full nor is it half empty. The glass can be refilled, and it is this fact that drives the positive outlook. I always have a solution focus, I see everything as a solution that is offered, it might not be right or work but it is offered as a solution. I always have been optimistic. It is how I view life.
I always like to see the glass as half full - finding opportunities in the chaos. I always look at the glass half full.. We celebrate success, regardless how small and acknowledge that we will not be successful first time, every time.
We learn from our mistakes, like Edison. I always look for the best in each situation. I have a positive mind-set. I always look for the bright side. I always look for the good in things, and I believe if you focus on the good then you are more likely to have a good outcome I always look for the positives in people and situations, and I found the resilience and camaraderie that persisted through very challenging times incredibly uplifting.
I always look on the bright side of life. At present it is a bit unsure. I always see opportunity where most see problems. I always see the bright side. I always see the glass as half full. For me every problem can be solved.
Life does go on and time heals. I always see the world with eyes full of love and I have a positive attitude towards life. Also, I truly believe in the power of our connections. I always think that there is a perspective from which things look good or bad. I always try to look into thing from curiosity of what others are facing and not judge the situation from my only perspective which makes win-win situation for all and I get to learn something from it.
This has always helped me stay optimistic about every situation. This has helped me get closer to them not only professionally but emotionally. It has helped me learn bigger picture from very different perspective. I always trust in the positive outcomes. I always try to stay positive and be grateful for my life and people around me. I am 83 and I guess life has been kind to me so far.
I believe "all things are possible I am a capable person who will make lemonade from lemons. I am a naturally optimistic person. Optimism is my secret weapon.
It helps me 'go on' when thinks seem bleak, to find the good in any situation, to feel hopeful for the future and carry on. I am a positive person who is always a glass half full rather than half empty.
Things happen for a reason and in the long run, it will work out. Perhaps not as you initially expect it to but reasonably in line with what you wanted. I am a strong believer in hope. I am always a positive person. I am and have been fortunate throughout my life and have no reason to believe that this disease will change my outlook so long as I follow normal precautions.
The opportunity for realistic change now presents itself and should lead to better outcomes. I am breathing oxygen and waking up to sunrises each day till I am dead.
I am by nature but I need the people I love to be safe and happy. I am convinced about the goodness at the core of most people and that IF their basic needs are taken care of most people are driven to help others and to contribute to their community and society to build a better future.
I am convinced there is always better ways to be found, changes in environment and circumstances like COVID force us out of our comfort zones and inspire change. I abhor stagnation and "sameness" therefore the more the world around me changes the more inspired and optimistic I become.
I am in the business of creating new business solutions. I am in the business of developing new business opportunities. I am innately optimistic - and encourage myself to always find the positives in life daily.
I am innately optimistic; I know that all things shall pass and that whatever happens, I can recover from any situation - I can see positive role models doing just that all around me. I am inspired and optimistic by the growing voice of reason that looks beyond base economics to personal, environmental and societal wellbeing.
I am interested in future trends and possibilities. I am just naturally optimistic. But also, I believe in Sturgeons Law.
I am naturally inclined that way. Being positive is the only approach to have with any form of cancer. I am naturally optimistic - genes and memes. I am naturally optimistic, always have been sometimes to the vexation of the non-optimistic. I also enjoy and rise to challenges and excitement of life! I am optimistic because I don't subscribe to the alternative. People don't flourish when they are surrounded by negativity. The findings were promising: After two months of training for three hours each week , their emotions ratio shifted to the left and they reported feeling less anxious, more energized and happier.
Yes, the workers proved that we are able to change how our brains respond to experiences. Is making the effort to train your brain to be more optimistic worth it? Science says yes. Research shows that the sunny worldview has some very real benefits for your health and productivity.
According to a study published in Clinical Psychology Review , optimism is closely linked to resilience. Science also shows that those with an optimistic outlook tend to be more proactive when it comes to their health, have better cardiovascular health and a stronger immune system , earn a higher income and have more successful relationships. A large study conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health found that the most optimistic women were 30 percent less likely to die from any of the serious illnesses tracked during the 8-year time period, including cancer, heart disease and stroke.
In fact, there are many effective ways to adopt an optimistic mindset. Experts refer to the tactic as "positive reframing. Often, he will reply that he did end up spending time indoors relaxing, reading or cuddling up to somebody he loves. After a while, this will become effortless, a more automatic and optimistic frame of mind.
Making this conscious effort not only shifts your viewpoint in the short term, but it may actually train your brain to think more positively. We all have those friends who are chronic complainers or gossipers. After spending a few hours with them we find ourselves jumping on the Debby Downer bandwagon.
