Monday Greetings !
Everyone wants to be wealthy, be healthy. Physical and intellectual health can bring the ‘success’, however, to be ‘satisfied, one has to build psychological health as well. The true measure of “mental fitness” is how optimistic you are about yourself and your life.
To be optimist can be really easy, if you learn and practice not to be pessimistic.
Control Your Reactions and Responses.
The optimist sees a setback as temporary, while the pessimist sees it as permanent. The pessimist, sees negative events as permanent, as part of life and destiny. The optimist on the other hand, sees an unfortunate event, as a temporary event, something that is limited in time and that has no real impact on the future.
Don’t Take Failure Personally.
The optimists see events as external, while pessimists interpret events as personal. When things go wrong, the optimist will tend to see the setback as resulting from external factors over which one has little control.
Isolate the Incident.
The optimist sees difficulties as specific, while the pessimist sees them as pervasive. This means that when things go wrong for the optimist, he looks at the event as an isolated incident disconnected from other things that are going on in his life.
The hallmark of the fully mature, fully functioning, self-actualizing personality is the ability to remain calm, controlled and objective when caught up in the inevitable storms of daily life. The mature personality is more relaxed and aware and capable of interpreting events more realistically and less emotionally. As a result, the mature person exerts a far greater sense of control and influence over his environment.
Take the Long View. Resolve to think like an optimist, no matter what happens. You may not be able to control events but you can control the way you respond to them.
Thanks for reading. Have an optimistic week ahead !
Warm Regard, Sara Pandian
