“Are you ALWAYS this positive?” – I’m asked this question on the reg.
“Absolutely, I’m a relentless optimist.” I reply.
Had a guy one time say he thought I was actually being fake via text until he met me in person because he had never met a woman so consistently happy & genuinely positive.
Which is sad & realistically true more times than not.
I haven’t always been this way however. It’s been a skill that I’ve had to sharpen just like fitness & personal development.
I’ve found having an innate sense of optimism has been helpful in every facet of my life from fitness, relationships, & professionally. It’s helped me deal practically with challenges & enjoy life more, no matter what’s going on.
Most of all, it fuels faith, inner peace, mental fortitude, & self love which all remain the antidotes to fear, despair, ego, & sickness.
Optimism is a mindset — a way of seeing things, a different perspective about life & the world. It’s based on the belief that the outcomes of the things we do & experiences we have will generally be positive.
Life’s challenges & “failures or mistakes” are simply seen as lessons & experiences to help us grow & become better.
Studies indicate that having a more optimistic mindset can reduce stress & promote mental & physical health benefits. That’s true — as long as difficult feelings are not stifled or masked with alcohol, substances, excess spending, sleeping around, food & the like.
It’s possible to learn habits that can shift even a stubborn mindset. And even a small change, turned into a habit, can radically improve your life.
Here’s how I’ve been able to transform my mindset & body & wake up to a life I’m extremely grateful for!
Would love to hear your thoughts & experiences too!
