Adopt An Optimistic Mindset

What Is Optimism?

The good news is that studies by psychologists reveal that people are primarily optimistic. “Segerstrom (2006) claims 80% of people are optimistic, and Seligman (1990) claims 60% of people are somewhat optimistic.”

Optimism is that ray of sunshine peeking through the darkest of clouds. In its most basic form, optimism means to be confident that no matter how bad things may seem now, you believe in a positive outcome, and you maintain hope.

Optimistic people automatically see the bright side of any dark situation.

Optimistic individuals tend to focus on the silver linings, viewing setbacks as temporary and surmountable.
