How to Be Optimistic

Step1 Start early. A quick way to integrate optimism into your life is to begin your day with a positive thought. As you throw off the covers and head for the shower, you should say, "Yes. A new day to look forward to," rather than, "Ugh. Here we go again. Life is

Step2 Strengthen your goals and pursue them aggressively. Goals should be hard to achieve but not impossible. Constantly persevering toward your goals forces you to be optimistic because you are always looking forward instead of looking back or down

Step3 Change your facial expressions and tone. Eye contact, a smile and a cheery tone will do wonders for your positive thinking. You will also be surprised at how much people reciprocate your actions. Smiling at someone usually earns you a smile in return. A positive exchange creates optimism, whether you realize it or not.

Step4 Depersonalize events, circumstances and personal exchanges. Remember--the world does not revolve around you. Luckily, this means you are not always entirely responsible for everything that happens. Maybe the store clerk was having a bad day. Maybe you weren't meant to get that job. Take yourself out of the situation, and you'll feel more optimistic.

Step5 Repel negativity. Everyone has a friend, relative or coworker who is a walking, talking bundle of complaints and pessimism. The expression, "You're dragging me down" is all too true. Avoid spending long periods of time with people who can't see the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Step6 Consider yourself lucky and lose the comparisons. It's hard to keep up with the Joneses, so quit trying to do it. Count your blessings, and optimism will find its way to you.
