Listen, the important thing isn’t to court optimism. It’s to avoid pessimism. Pessimistic thoughts tend to be sticky and refuse to go away. Mindfulness meditation can help you give those thoughts the boot.
But it also helps to stay busy. Like my hobby of reading fiction.
Exercise can also help.
Staying optimistic can backfire if you’re over optimistic at all.
Same, read a lot of fiction too. However, my problem is; the fiction is often kind of dystopia (e.g; 1984 and The Book Thief).
Personally, recently started to try to have a positive diary. Writing down anything that I find positive and grateful in life for. It might sound weird or ridiculous but it does help.
There’s a quote is cherish a lot from a book;
‘’Never underestimate the big importance of small things, you must always remember that’’ - Matt Haig, The Midnight Library.
I have been reading a lot of fiction lately.
