Another way to train your brain to be more optimistic is by recording positive events in your day, no matter how small. If you lowered the stress level of a nonprofit manager, write that down in your journal. If you pass a particularly beautiful garden, take a picture or make a note. If you have a productive conversation with your team, keep a record of the highlights. By doing this, you will train yourself to focus on the positives around you. And everyday, make sure you keep an open mindset to learning about and practicing optimism. It is not easy, but with hard work and diligence you will be able to remain optimistic in the face of negativity.

How to train yourself to have an optimistic mindset

The mind functions as a reservoir, and we must learn how to supply this reservoir. Optimism is an attributive style; essentially, a way we attribute meaning to daily events.
When evaluating a fact of life, pessimistic individuals and optimistic individuals will have opposite perspectives from each other.

For a Positive Fact: “I got a better mark for my English test!”
Optimistic Profile: Everything always works out for me.
Pessimist Profile: My parents will expect me to work harder now.
For a negative fact: “I lost my device.”
Optimistic Profile: I never lose anything, someone probably found it and will return it to me.
Pessimist Profile: I always lose everything; I am so distracted!
If you find yourself identifying with the pessimist profile, don’t be discouraged. With mental strength and daily training, you will be able to create good in any situation.
Starting with your speech, eliminate negative phrases such as “I can’t”, “I always give up”, or “I am stupid”. For example, you may have found yourself saying, “I am lazy.” A better way to frame this in your mind is “Today I did not accomplish as much as I wanted to. I will make a list for tomorrow so I can complete all of my tasks!”  Additionally, try to avoid complaining at all costs. If you are struggling with a subject, try to view the experience as a positive challenge rather than a negative situation. This will allow you to remain in good spirits and help you focus on the subject content in the most productive way possible.
