\u201cA pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.\u201dWinston Churchill<\/strong><\/p>\n

Optimism.<\/p>\n

It can turn a situation that looks negative or bleak into an opportunity or something to learn from.<\/p>\n

It can replace the draining thoughts of pessimism with something that will create more positive energy and enthusiasm again.<\/p>\n

And it can help you to jump over obstacles, to keep moving when you fall or stumble and to not give up just because you have had a couple of temporary setbacks.<\/p>\n

So not just adding more of it to your own life but to the lives of the people in your world too is a good idea.<\/p>\n

Because in the long run you tend to get what you give.<\/p>\n

And in the short run, well, you get to enjoy the smiles when you create and spread that positivity. Plus, you\u2019ll boost your own self-esteem when you feel you are doing the right thing.<\/p>\n

Here are 10 simple tips that can help you to get started with that.<\/p>\n

1. Play music with positive energy.<\/h2>\n

Uplifting music is of course a great way to boost your own mood and open up new perspectives again.<\/p>\n

You can do the same for people around you. Put on a really positive song when you are hanging out. Or send them an uplifting playlist for Spotify or a similar service.<\/p>\n

2. Just be there for someone.<\/h2>\n

Listen and lend the optimistic and grounded perspective to someone in your life in need of it.<\/p>\n

At first I find it best to just the let other person vent, to let him or her get issue at hand out into the light. So I am just there fully and listening.<\/p>\n

Oftentimes this might be enough. Because just being there will help him or her to let the emotional tension out and to analyze the issue and to find a solution or to let it go.<\/p>\n

If she or he gets stuck in negative thinking or in making a mountain out of a molehill then it can be helpful to add your own perspective to ground him or her and to help shift perspective on the situation.<\/p>\n

To make him or her see that if you zoom out then things aren\u2019t that bad really. And together the two of you might be able to find a solution or a first step that he or she can put into action.<\/p>\n

3. Take 30-60 seconds to give a genuine compliment.<\/h2>\n

Think about one thing that makes the other person tick. A small or bigger passion. Or something good that people too often take for granted about him or her.<\/p>\n

And then give a compliment about that. It often means more than you might guess.<\/p>\n

4. Smile.<\/h2>\n

A smile puts you and the people around you into a better and more relaxed headspace.<\/p>\n

It works even when you don\u2019t feel that much like smiling.<\/p>\n

If you like, do a brief experiment. Force a smile for 30 seconds or a minute if you are feeling a bit negative and see what happens to your mood.<\/p>\n

5. Hide a secret note.<\/h2>\n

Take 60 seconds out of your day to write and hide a note with a compliment. Or some encouraging words. Or make it a note of thankfulness.<\/p>\n

Hide it under their pillow, in the lunch box or wallet or perhaps the book he or she is reading at this time.<\/p>\n

6. Help someone to wind down.<\/h2>\n

Being busy with work or school can over time add a lot of tension and stress. And that can certainly get in the way of optimistic and constructive thinking.<\/p>\n

So help someone in your life to wind down.<\/p>\n

Suggest going for a picnic. Just have fun and perhaps go for swim in the nearby lake or ocean. Then lie together in silence on the blanket and watch the clouds go by for a while.<\/p>\n

A break like this can do wonders for the mood and perspective for the both of you.<\/p>\n

7. Cook or bring their favorite food.<\/h2>\n

If she\u2019s having a bad day then cook her favorite meal. Or get her favorite takeout food.<\/p>\n

Or maybe just a small treat, like a piece of the chocolate or the special cupcake she loves the most.<\/p>\n

8. Hug.<\/h2>\n

A hug is, perhaps often even more than a smile, something that can make someone feel a little better and a bit safer again. Use it when appropriate of course.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t underestimate the effect of it and how that little nudge can turn someone\u2019s thoughts around towards something brighter and more positive again.<\/p>\n

9. Share what you\u2019ve found or made.<\/h2>\n

It could delicious fruit that you\u2019ve picked. Or the jam, cookies or bread you made. Or fish you\u2019ve smoked or the beef you made jerky out of.<\/p>\n

Such a simple but loving gift can really mean a lot and add positive energy to someone\u2019s whole week or month.<\/p>\n

10. Pay it forward.<\/h2>\n

If someone in your life adds a bit of optimism and positive energy to your life then don\u2019t just return it somewhere down the line.<\/p>\n

Pay it forward to someone else too.<\/p>\n

And together build a growing upward spiral of optimism, encouragement and kindness.<\/p>\n
