How To Be An Optimist

Posted December 1, 2009 * Comments(2)

Optimism is a great way to create a life. I have experienced life on both sides of this concept and I really have to say that I prefer my life as an optimist over the alternatives.

Here is a list of behaviors you may want to be mindful of:

  1. Develop and nourish your personal spiritual relationship
  2. Consistently affirm your intention to embrace your power, health, well-th and beauty
  3. Be so strong inside that nothing can unbalance you or take you away from center
  4. Be grateful, give thank, appreciate everything
  5. Celebrate the success of others
  6. Trust that you deserve a happy life, that happiness is your natural state
  7. Have a mindfully cheerful face… smile a lot, laugh out loud, look for the humor
  8. Surround your self with optimistic friends
  9. Talk about what is right in your world, in the world
  10. Practice talking about yourself in a positive manner
  11. Intend to express the real you, the wonderful you

You know… I think I do all these things on a fairly consistent basis at this stage of my life.  Little by little, step by step…

What about you?
