Optimists are often dismissed as daydreamers. Admired by some, ridiculed by others. Those who seriously engage with it cannot avoid recognizing the positive effects. Not only do optimists have a 19% higher life expectancy, as found by the Mayo Clinic, they also have more out of life, more joy, more lightness, more friends, and generally live healthier lives.
For the organism, nothing is more harmful than latent underlying dissatisfaction, says Dr. Norbekow. "This could be better, I should be better, the other should behave differently, if only my children, my wife, my husband were different! If we had more space, if I had a better job," etc. Unfortunately, latent dissatisfaction has become normal in Germany. We must not be satisfied, because otherwise we become sluggish, this is the general opinion. This attitude is a disaster for well-being. Therefore, here are a few tips on what each of us can do daily to feel better:
- Recognize what you are thinking
Thinking processes occur automatically, otherwise we would not get upset about things we cannot change, or get angry just because something does not immediately succeed. Observe your thoughts for a day and catch yourself thinking, both positively and negatively. And of course, you should then gradually replace your negative thoughts with positive ones.
- Observe your emotions
Emotions are outward-directed feelings. Feelings are the result of thinking, and emotions are the result of feelings. Emotions are the fuel for the goal. If you think of a goal and feel nothing, it will take a long time to achieve it. But if you think of the goal with anticipation, with an intense emotion of gratitude, and mentally and emotionally prepare yourself properly, the goal will be empowered and its realization will not be long in coming.
- Become an incorrigible optimist
Things are as they are. If you become a fundamental optimist, your life will respond to these positive signals. Always! Optimism is a matter of attitude. Realists say: "These are the facts and that's how it is." Fine, they are right, but energetically they do not bring anything new, on the contrary, they cement the current state. An optimist faces the facts but then focuses on what he wants, not what he does NOT want. That is the subtle energetic difference.
- Energy follows attention
Whatever you want, you think about it and direct your attention to it. Your life energy is directed there, and life will respond. So, if you want joy, it is pointless to fight against frustration. If you want more customers, complaining about the poor order situation will not help. If you want to get healthy, "fighting" the illness will not bring health. Where you direct your attention, your life energy flows.
- Optimists are in demand
In a world where problems are becoming increasingly complex, optimists stand out. Optimists are welcome conversation partners and exude a special charisma. Make yourself a leader who people enjoy working for, a parent respected and loved by children, an employee who is valued and respected. Don't just become an optimist, be an incorrigible optimist and wait for the wonders of life!
