How can you boost your optimism to achieve greater health, wealth, and career success? Here are five immediately useful techniques. Each takes only one minute to do, so you can start fast and get results today.
1st Technique: Straight Posture and Big Steps
Optimistic people use straight posture, walk fast, and take big steps.
Pessimistic people slouch, walk slowly, and use small steps.
2nd Technique: Cheerful Voice
A lightning quick way to feel upbeat is to use a cheerful voice.
3rd Technique: Use Upbeat Words
You can use types of words: upsetting and upbeat. Pessimists relish using upsetting words, while optimists excel at using upbeat words.
4th Technique: Use Upbeat Attitudes
I find the chief way to become an optimist simply is to focus on solutions – and not focus on problems. Every time a difficulty pops up, immediately create solutions and put them into action.
5th Technique: Be a Magnificent Role Model
Remember a time you were a role model for someone. As you helped that
person, you also helped yourself.
