Share your stories
Live optimistically just by sharing
life’s adventures, successes and
even failures. Just knowing others
have been in the same boat and
have persevered is comforting. It
spreads a message of hope, and
hope is the main ingredient in
optimism. When we share our
stories we are giving others the
tools they need to build, evolve,
and persevere. In essence, mankind
is always 'paying it forward.'

Forgive
This is easier said than
done, but you need to
forgive those that have
affected your ability to find
the silver linings. Make
peace with your past so
that it won't spoil the
present. Once you
accomplish this, you will
live a more positive and
happy life.

Be a good listener
When you listen, you open up
your ability to take in more
knowledge versus blocking the
world with your words or your
distracting thoughts. You are
also demonstrating confidence
and respect for others.
Knowledge and confidence is
proof that you are secure and
positive with yourself thus
radiating positive energy.

Turn jealousy into energy
When we envy others we
are only hurting ourselves.
The universe does not owe
you because someone else is
better off than you. Channel
that energy into building
your personal and
professional brand. Consider
other people’s success the
catalyst to help you achieve.

Smile more frown less
When we smile we are
creating a happy, stimulating
environment around us that
draws others in. Frowning,
on the other hand, shuts
people out and has the
opposite effect. Happiness,
even in brief doses, releases
serotonin (the happy
hormone).

Exercise and follow healthy diet
We all need some form of
exercise and sunlight every
day—even if it’s only for
15 minutes. The energy we
get from exercise, a
healthy diet, and light
exposure gives us focus,
clarity, and a naturally
positive demeanour.

Practice positive forward thinking
Positive-forward
thinking is the ability
to find the silver lining
in every cloud, apply it
to today or yesterday
and be hopeful that
tomorrow will be
better. Life is not a
lottery. It’s what you
make of it.

Stop blaming others
It is so easy to blame others
for our position in life.
People blame the economy,
politicians, bosses, and all
types of third parties for
their problems. Once you
truly accept that you
control who you are, you
will find that optimism and
success come naturally.

Spend time with children
Children are natural pick-me-ups who help you to smile even
on the bleariest of days. So spend more time with children;
play and laugh along with them. Enjoy the little pleasures in
life and stop brooding on future greatness.
