HOW TO BE MORE OPTIMISTIC!

Dr Eric Kim from the Harvard School of Public Health contends about 25% of optimism may be genetic, meaning fully 75% can be learned. He offers the following strategies …

✓ Think about what your ‘best possible self’ should look like for key areas of your life such as family, marriage, and career.

✓ Write down 3 things each day that you are grateful for. Try it for a week and see how you feel.

✓ Keep a log of any kind things you do for other people. Review it every week or two.

✓ Try a course of mindfulness or some sessions of talking therapy.
