Being Optimistic All the Time.

[Jasmin Cottontail]

Are you an optimistic person? Can you be optimistic all the time? I can say that I'm an optimist and I always wanted to see things in a positive manner. Always look at the brighter side as they always say. However, there are instances that it's hard to always be positive, especially when you are in a tough situation and can't see any good things out of it. As much as I would like to admit, I find it tiring sometimes.

What about you? Do you feel the same way?

I'd rather think negatively because most of the time, things go better than I expect. If I'm too optimistic, I just end up being disappointed because wihen I'm negative, at least I expected that cruddy result. Also, if you're positive, you won't be too surprised if it ends up in your favor.

I tend to be optimistic quite a lot, even when that positive outcome that I'm envisioning is quite far from reality. I tend to think that maybe one day things will turn to my favor by some unexpected stroke of luck. That's mostly related to my personal and financial goals. When it comes to other things, then I'm more pessimistic, especially when the outcome depends on the actions and decisions of other people, like a job interview, for example.

I am definitely a very optimistic person and I always try to see the bright side of things, the glass half-full. It's very rare for me to be discouraged about something because I always give my best in what I do and if I am failing at something I try understand why that is happening and how to turn it around. Thinking positive brings good thing around I believe.

I'm a realist so neither. I can understand why people like to be optimistic, but when they aren't being realistic I think it makes them look a dippy. I have friends that are like that and even when we know something won't happen they never seem disappointed. I guess I am just practical and if it's not possible then why put so much energy into it?

I wouldn't say I was a pessimist, but people would probably think I am more inclined that way. Perhaps I'm just more cautious?

Years ago I thought I was a positive optimistic person, but as the years have gone by I realize that I am quite the opposite. I have actually thought that negative things will always happen to me. Subliminal videos that I found on Youtube have been really helpful but I don't remember to do them all the time.

I procrastinate a lot and forget to do the daily tasks that I set myself. I have found though that after a few days of listening to subliminals, for whichever subject they are dealing with, really helps me to think differently.

This is a good link to a video that lasts about half an hour. It also has the subliminal messages that are quoted. It is always best to use headphones as the binural beats are intended to go into certain ears either side of your brain. I'm not a professional on how it works, but I am finding that listening to these videos and making affirmations are helping me a lot.

I'm always optimistic regardless of the situation. There were times when I got discouraged pretty fast until I realized that what we say and believe can change how we perceive and handle various occurrences. Being optimistic allows you to afford a smile and be a source of hope to yourself and also to others.

I don't think anybody can be optimistic all the time. However, I try my best to be as optimistic as possible. It's sometimes hard to be optimistic, though, when it seems like everything is collapsing around you...

I assume the worst always.

I'm a pessimist. Despite that though, it sometimes makes me feel happier. I always expect the worst, and then feel thankful when things end up okay.
