One of the most powerful habits that I’ve picked up in the past 10+ years is to stop being pessimistic and to think in a more optimistic and constructive way instead. It makes life feel lighter and not so burdensome. It opens up new paths towards where you want to go and it helps you to more easily overcome setbacks (and often get something good out of them). You’ll feel less worried and sorry for yourself and more motivated to keep taking action. So the benefits of optimism are great. (1/n)

But how do you adopt this habit? Well, learning to think in a less pessimistic and more positive way may sound a bit vague. 1. When you’re in what looks like a negative situation, find what’s good or helpful about it. One of the biggest differences between an optimist and someone who lets pessimistic thoughts cloud his mind is how that person perceives a setback or obstacle in life. I used to, for example, feel like giving up and going home when I stumbled into a negative situation. It felt like it was permanent place I got stuck in and that whatever I did it would not make much of a difference anyway. And so my mind filled up with pessimistic thoughts and I often beat myself up for whatever I had done. These days I go about things a differently. When I find myself in a situation that looks bleak or negative I ask myself questions that will empower me and help me to grow. (2/n)
