OPTIMISM AND HEALTH
Optimism and health are correlated.
According to Ph.D. Mara Karpel optimism
and positive mood can:
• Decrease depression;
• Boost your immune system;
• Higher resilience on negative life events;
• Hormonal balance is stabilized;
• Healthier heart and more stable blood
sugar;
• Problem-solving ability also increases
LAW OF ATTRACTION
In the New Thought philosophy, the Law
of Attraction is the belief that positive or
negative thoughts bring positive or
negative experiences into a person's life
HOW TO BECOME AN OPTIMIST
• Believe in ALLAH.
• Focus on positives.
• Focus on the solution rather than the problem.
• Challenge negative thoughts.
• Don’t dwell on the past.
• Keep a gratitude diary.
IS IT GOOD TO BE EXTEREMLY OPTIMISTIC?
ANSWER IS NO!
YOU NEED BALANCE IN EVERYTHING!
If you are extremely optimistic you can get really delusional and actually end up
hurting yourself.
EXAMPLE
Imagine if you have really bad business idea and you are just naive optimist.
Business isn't going anywhere but you say:
"Well, it isn't permanent “and you keep loosing resources on stupid idea.
KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
It's not OPTIMISM ,it’s IDIOTISM!
Biggest problem with optimism is when it's not balanced, because you might
end up not taking responsibility when you need to.
Optimism should not be blind but should be a view that is based on actual facts.
CONCLUSION
YOU NEED THE RIGHT BALANCE
BETWEEN OPTIMISM AND
REALISM.

Editor's Notes

  1. 1) Bad past experience: If a person failed many times he might start to believe that success is not possible and so become pessimistic. I am not saying that all pessimistic people are not successful but certainly pessimism holds many people back and prevents them from succeeding. 2) Poor company and pessimism: I am sure you have met at least one pessimistic person who never failed simply because he never tried anything!! Pessimism isn't only caused by bad past experience but it can result from listening to people who tell you about their bad past experiences. If you are surrounded by pessimists then you will certainly become one after sometime even if you never failed before 5) Pessimism and self confidence: No one can say that pessimistic people lack self confidence but its a fact that some people are pessimistic because of their lack of self confidence. If someone has self doubts or isn't sure of his ability to succeed then he will certainly become a pessimist
