How to train yourself to have an optimistic mindset
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.
