Stay Optimistic



  Everyone has faced challenges now and again in the future. However, it is our reaction to determine how quickly we can overcome that challenge. Also, it is harder when people around us constantly talk about negative things that can lead to pessimism.

  There are typically two types of minds people have towards challenges, pessimistic or optimistic. Everyone may have a natural tendency to have one view or the other. But in this article, optimism is what we need to face the challenges with a smile.

  Being optimistic means that we possess an overall positive outlook on the world. Trusting that good things will happen and that people's desires will be fulfilled. Optimistic people have better job security and are more likely to succeed in their careers. 

  They can turn disappointments or sadness into motivation, which can lead to increased productivity and accomplishments. If we always see the brighter side of things, we may experience more positive events in our lives than others.

  Learning optimism is a clear indication that we can also step away the pessimism. Here are some tips on how to be optimistic.

  Think positively. Positive thought can help improve our response to situations. The state of our thoughts is simple, it can either be positive or negative. Work on our thought patterns by changing our unhappy thoughts to hopeful thoughts. 

  Create positive mantras. Similar to film, a positive mantra is a phrase or sentence that expresses a person's basic beliefs. Usually positive messages and written down on portable books. We can paste the positive mantra on the wall of the room or anywhere that can easily be seen. Positive mantras such as "I am relevant" or "My present is my future" can be used as our mantras.

  Spend time with optimistic people. This is a very fundamental step since people around us can affect our lifestyle either negatively or positively. Learn to spend time with optimistic people or identify with an optimistic mentor. By doing this, we can consciously or unconsciously become optimistic.

  Bottom of the line, optimism allows us to deal with our challenges and continue living life without losing our unique personality. It takes time to practice, but belief in the process is one step to becoming optimistic. Thank you for your time and hopefully you've learned something from this article. Have a lovely day. 😀

About Telekinesis

    Have you ever dreamed to able moving objects around with your mind, like in a film? The power of telekinesis has captured the imagination of scientists, psychics, and fiction writers for centuries unproven by science.   So what is the definition of telekinesis? Telekinesis or psychokinesis refers to the alleged ability to move objects with the power of the mind or willpower, without physical interaction.   Telekinesis is from the Greek words, tele means "distant" and kinesis means "movement". If we combine together, it refers to the apparent ability to move physical objects using only the mind and without any physical interaction.   The idea of telekinesis has been in the imagination of fiction writers for ages, allowing the characters to demonstrate telekinetic abilities to move objects, restrain opponents, and levitate for dramatic effect.   However, many have claimed to have telekinetic abilities and believe that telekinesis is possible, but no one h...

Living a Simple Life

    In the modern era, living a simple life is quite tricky. We are constantly being attacked by ads, big sales, and messages telling us we need the latest gadget or must-have items. It must be difficult to resist these temptations when it feels like everyone around us is living a more glamorous life than we are.   Ok, let's take a look at what people often think of when they hear this phrase. Minimalism means having fewer things and only what is needed. Old-fashioned living means rejecting modernity and living like it's the past. Self-sufficiency means creating everything we need and buying as little as possible. All of those are close, but none of them are quite right. The opposite of simple is not modern, expensive, or dependent.   Living a simple life looks a little different for everyone, but at its core, simple living is all about focusing on the things that truly matter. For many of us, those include our family and our friends. By living a simple life, we can ...

About Phubbing

    In the Digital Era, smartphones have become the number one priority in society. When it comes to our smartphones, nothing else in our lives gets as much attention. A single notification can branch to half days only checking the status or short videos on social media. If we lose it, the stress starts to build up rapidly. Getting by without a smartphone really is not possible anymore, and from that other areas of our lives are bound to be affected.   Phubbing describes the act of "phone-snubbing". It is a term that most people might not be familiar with, but the action is certainly one we all recognise. If we are going outside let's say, how often have we been physically in the presence of someone, but they're emotionally "not there" because they are absorbed in their smartphone? Quite a lot, isn't it?   Smartphones and text messaging help partners display love and affection to each other when they are physically apart. However, what happens when smart...
