#3: Cultivating Optimism
Constructing Confidence: The Positivity Toolbox
This week, we share how to strengthen a positive mindset through CULTIVATING OPTIMISM. Optimism is a thinking style that is tied to being hopeful.
Why it matters
Optimism is a thinking style that is tied to being hopeful. This is one of the most important skills to develop. People with an optimistic thinking style tend to attribute their achievements and successes to their own efforts while they see negative outcomes as flukes or as being out of their control.
How it works
Optimism creates pathways toward achievement, fuels a feeling of control, and improves self-regulation, while reducing conflicts and fostering positive thinking.
