MASTERING OPTIMISM
SAY GOODBYE TO PESSIMISM BY RECONFIGURING YOUR MIND, YOUR ATTITUDE AND YOUR FEARS
ABOUT THIS BOOK
Yes, it is possible to learn how to become an optimist. As with any skill, it takes practice and persistence. Learning how to be optimistic starts with changing your mindset, which means being more positive about life in general.
You may not have the power over external circumstances such as traffic or rainstorms, but that doesn't mean that you can't control your reaction to them.
Once you've mastered your mindset, then try changing your habits—how you respond when something bad happens or when something good happens (or when nothing at all happens).
Next are behavior patterns: how often do they occur? Are they healthy? Once these things are addressed, then it's time for perspective modification; what do I need right now? Is my current state of mind helping me reach my goals?
