For those pessimists out there, it is a trained skill to become an optimist, but the human brain is well capable of being re-programmed. All negative thought patterns become so embedded that they are hard to shift, but they can be with hard work! Thanks for your kind words about the post on being more optimistic.

I love your bullet points and in my 20's, used just such an approach to re-focus my energy, talents and thoughts. The "stop" approach works so well, and those who really work to put it into practice find that they don't need it at all after just a couple of weeks or months. So much better to be optimistic...thanks for helping more people to find the freedom and joy that comes from looking on the bright side! What a great post!
