Throughout our lives we face negative situations and circumstances that test us every day, how can we maintain optimism right now?
When a person we love dies, when we lose a job, when marriage ends, we feel very bad, but we have to learn to see the positive side of everything and learn from difficult situations.
Optimism is the ability to see the positive side of things, it’s a matter of personality.
Some people bravely face adversity and are able to move forward, have a positive attitude and see the good in every situation.
Optimism comes from the Latin word “optimal”, which means “the best”
“Can’t you change the situation? If it’s not in your hands?Changing a situation that causes you pain, will you always know how to choose the attitude with which you will face suffering?”
-Viktor Frankl-
Psychologist Martin Seligman, director of the Department of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, is the creator of positive psychology and argues that “to be optimistic is to strive to find solutions, benefits and opportunities in all the situations we face in life. “
Therefore, being optimistic requires a lot of effort and a lot of willpower; you need training.
In other words, a person can learn to be optimistic, to look on the bright side, so here are some simple tips:
We are all imperfect human beings; love your flaws and virtues
Have fun every day, eat healthy, exercise, keep your brain active by reading, writing and learning new things.
Good self-esteem is essential to have a positive view of reality.
We are often frustrated that our friends and family do not accept us as we really are and do not approve of our decisions, but we cannot allow this to paralyze us.
It is important to move forward, to rely on our intuition to make the right decisions.
How many times have you been surprised to say yes, when did you actually mean no?
Say no?is it necessary and often therapeutic. Learn how to set limits on what you don’t like or don’t care about; nobody’s going to do it for you.
We should not be afraid of the consequences of a negative, because that fear paralyzes us and makes us feel that we are not ourselves.
We always learn something from our mistakes and failures. Positive teaching must be learned from every mistake.
“Sometimes you win and sometimes you learn. “
-Robert Kiyosaki-
If your partner left you, it may be because they weren’t the right person, let them go for someone else to show up or to enjoy their loneliness.
If you’ve lost your job, don’t worry; there may be a better job waiting for you or take the time to study.
You’re the one who chooses how you want to see life
Isn’t it enough to think positive, do you have to get down to business?and build your reality from a positive and cheerful point of view.
It is necessary to understand why we feel guilty or sad in certain situations, identify this emotion in order to understand it and control it.
An optimistic person rarely gets sick and recovers more quickly from a disease. Your positive attitude will likely cause your immune system to produce the hormones needed to fight the disease.
An optimistic person is less stressed than a pessimist. The optimist believes more in himself, in his qualities, in his achievements, he knows his flaws, learns from his mistakes and can see the positive side of everything.
The optimist has a good relationship with his family, with his partner, with his peers; learned to tell and know the good side of each one.
The secret, as Mark Stevenson, founder of L. O. P. O (League of Pragmatic Optimists), said, is:
“It’s not about saying ‘everything will be fine’, it’s about ‘everything can be better’, but do we have to fight for it?
