Being Optimistic (Self Esteem Challenge)

@CheeryMango

I do my best to be optimistic. Lots of times it works. It hasn't always worked very well in the past, but just today I made a breakthrough that, I am confident, will help be more of an optimist. I do think it is the very small, overlooked, every day miracles that I might concetrate on more. That idea makes me happy and confident, which I suppose is another way of saying 'optimistic'!

Love this ! Any step big or small does count ~ any progress small or huge is still progress ! Keep going ❤ @crimsonChestnut5482

A good laugh and patience. Being Optimistic!!

I found this hilarious! "Always be grateful", but how do I do that? "Always see the beauty", I wish I could. "Only focus on what you can control", but I can't!, "love fearlessly", too scary. 🤣 Clearly I have optimism challenges. But I shall be optimistic in the fact that being able to comprehend your challenges is the first step in solving them.

What do you want from me if I am optimistic or not? We are all just made up names on a screen. Don't kid yourself, or anyone else, that this matters one bit. This is part of a job here, that has been laid out to be done. If I am to act optimistic and devote to helping others, that is what is wanted on here. If I act not optimistic, it is met with sympathy, understanding, upset people behind screen names, and crap like that. Thte whole point and fact of this is that none of any of this matters one bit. It is all part of a mechanism that is working to grow and achieve what it is after, in the big scheme of it all. Things all over here are purposely presented which are meant to make people with screen names on this site believe and go along with the whole purpose of what people up top are working to achieve. We, at the bottom levels, are presented with things that are supposed to lead us into believing what they want for their purposes, step by step. My ideas on this can also be sanctioned, as if that will even bother me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think being an optimist is such a grey area. We all have that side in us though. And can work towards improving that trait, but being aware and able to feel all that a situation puts us in is important too, than just being cheerful whatever the situation is. I guess it's all about a healthy balance.💛

I try to be an optimtistic person. I try to see the world in a more positive light. . .
However my mind is constantly fighting. . . anxiety, worry, depression, fear, doubt.
I try to do what my therapist told me and counter my feelings and thoughts. . .
I just trying to focus on a moment/day at a time.

@CheeryMango No

@CheeryMango
I am sanguine, so optimism is quite naturally in me. I see opportunities every step and I try to accept what is happening without fighting with the past, but to see what can I do now. I try to balance my optimism with a rational approach to decisions😋 because the pure optimistic view has it's traps too.

I used to be optimistic. But that was before the pandemic. I tend to be pessimistic now. I struggle to regain the optimism I once had. Seeing what I see everyday makes me pessimistic.It can be so hard to regain what I once had. Time away does help bring back how I once viewed the world. In a good light. I don't believe a person is stricly an optimist or a pessimist. We are a mix of the two. You can't have all light threads in your tapestry. You need to have the contrasting dark threads to make the picture come alive. That's my view of optimism/pessimism.

@CheeryMango

Yes, I am an optimist. No matter how difficult a situation gets I like to be positive about it. I have a mindset to look at the brighter side of life even in the worse of situations.

@CheeryMango

Are you an optimistic person?

No, with ADHD, I am a terribly pessimistic person. The obsessive thoughts in me are dangerously troublesome. Moreover, if I miss my meds, the fear in me cripples and I feel more of a negative person.

@CheeryMango

Yes I am an optimistic person. I try my best to look at the bright side and I understand that life isn't always easy and that's okay.

I wasnt very optimistic, but now, yes, I started to build a good relationship with optimism. We are here now and some things are going better than yesterday. So maybe tomorrow is better than today.

@CheeryMango I try to be but I'd say I'm more neutral

Not really, but I've been trying to focus more on positivity lately. So far, it's gotten me better (or at least more exciting) results.
