How To Be Optimistic at Any Time

What is getting to you today? Is your job stressing you out even though you know it shouldn't be? Is your mind creating scenarios for you that are making you second guess everything? Life throws things at us that makes us feel less than our best. We sacrifice our potential and our hustle to cloud our minds with negativity. Everything in life is a choice. Each day, each decision we make is us choosing joy and optimism or self-doubt and pessimism. We are the only ones that get to make this decision. When you catch yourself in that place of self doubt you need to pull yourself out of it. The only person that is being hurt is you. You hold yourself back from your best potential by saying "can't" or "it's hard" or "it's not for me". REALITY you "CAN" and it "ISN'T HARD and "IT IS FOR YOU".

Is your job boring or unfulfilling or not right? Well then you either play your own sad violin and be pessimistic about your options OR you make a change. Lay out a plan follow through.

School hard and not going the way you planned? Guess what there is always another way. Figure it out. Your negative talk is standing in your own way.

Can't afford travel, moving, luxury or any other thing you've been telling yourself? If you are reading this in America or any other Western country I don't buy it. Go look at your finances you can afford anything you want. People will say but really I CAN'T, I say well you just don't want it then. Bottom line. You make excuses or you take action.

When I need to shake those negative thoughts in my mind there are a few things I like to do.
