It’s a common misconception that positive people see the world through rose-colored glasses. But according to Joffrey Suprina, the Dean and associate professor of the College of Behavioral Sciences at Argosy University, it’s about becoming a realistic optimist. At first glance, that might seem like a distorted oxymoron. However, Suprina states, “Positive thinkers are individuals who recognize both the bright side and the negative, but they choose to focus their energy and time on the side that’s going to promote the most positive outcome.”
In other words, it’s not about ignoring one side of reality, but rather accepting the whole of it and still having the guts to believe in something good. When you feel as though you can only locate darkness, we want to remind you that there’s still something to look forward to. Psych2Go shares with you 7 habits to nurture a positive mindset:
1. Let go of what holds you back.
If you’re worried about being labeled as a quitter, don’t be. It’s healthy to let go of toxic relationships and situations that stunt your growth. Goodbyes may be hard, but staying in an unhappy circumstance will only be detrimental to your health in the long run…
“The power is in you. The answer is in you. And you are the answer to all your searches: you are the goal. You are the answer. It’s never outside.”
