Do you have a tendency to expect the worst?

Do you wish you could maintain a more positive outlook on the future?

Optimism is the tendency to expect the best and to feel confident that whatever happens, things will ultimately turn out okay. Psychologist Martin Seligman has noted that the optimistic mindset tends to be characterized by particular beliefs as to the causes of events.

Optimists tend to believe they have a lot of influence over the way things turn out, whereas pessimists tend to assume there’s nothing they can do to change their lot in life. Optimists also tend to think of negative situations or setbacks as temporary, whereas pessimists often see them as permanent and insurmountable.

Finally, optimists see the causes of negative situations as highly specific – for example, “I failed the test because I didn’t study enough” – whereas pessimists tend to assign more global causes that apply to any and all situations – “I failed the test because I’m stupid.”

The benefits of optimism

It’s easy to see how optimism can itself increase the chances of good outcomes in life. If you assume that a bad situation is permanent and there’s nothing you can do about it, you’re not likely to take action to change it. Worse still, if you’ve globalized the cause of that bad situation, you may start to feel helpless to effect change in any aspect of your life.

If, on the other hand, you’re optimistic about your ability to influence the outcome, you’ll do whatever it takes to turn things around in your favor. You’ll keep on keeping on because you know that you have the power to help things turn out for the best. And your eventual success will reinforce your conviction in that belief.

Sure enough, research shows that optimism is an invaluable asset, enhancing many different aspects of our lives. Optimism has been shown to be beneficial for both mental and physical health, as well as career and relationship success. Life really is better for optimists.

Fortunately, optimism isn’t one of those things you’re either born with or you’re not. Optimism is an attitude that can be learned. No matter how negative your outlook might be right now, you have the power within you to turn it all around and instead cultivate the immense power of optimism. And this session can help you do it.
