Optimism
Hi there fellow IDG folk š I hope youāre all well.
Iād like to talk about āOptimismā = The ability to sustain and communicate a sense of hope, positive attitude and confidence In the possibility of meaningful change.
I see myself as an optimistic person or at least try to be. Ā I know there have been times when my optimism has pulled me through some difficult situations but equally there have been other times when itās ā¦dipped š. Ā When this happens I can go quietā¦take myself off somewhere ā¦maybe just read a bookā¦not want to talk about how I feel with anyoneā¦other times I want to talkā¦I want to ventā¦(thanks to family and friends who have put up with my moaning š). Other times Iāve taken the dog outā¦.he never complains about another walk š¶ or even my moaning poor ladā¦Before long the fresh air gets into my lungs and itās then when out and aboutā¦my head begins to feel lighterā¦I begin to feel less stressed. Itās then I see things for what they are and my mind begins to change. Itās like the sun has come out behind a cloud and I begin to feel more positive and optimistic āļø. I also now journal, just for a couple of minutes each day. Iāve found it very therapeutic and quite look forward to putting my thoughts into paper.Ā
Ok, question time;
1. What works for you when circumstances are such that you feel you donāt hold much optimism?Ā
2. I love quotes especially positive quotes. Hereās some of mine below but please feel free to let me know one of yours?Ā
š¹ āThe only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to beā.
š¹ āThe question isnāt who is going to let me, itās who is going to stop meā.
The next two always make me smile š
š¹ āWhatever you do, always give 100%, unless youāre donating bloodā š
š¹ āThe key to happiness is a positive mindset, a great sense of humour..and a lot of chocolateā š
On a more serious note; Please remember whatever youāre going through itās important to feel our emotionsā¦and tomorrowĀ is another dayā¦
