V. Read the following and do as directed.
Do you tend to see the positive, even in trying situations? Or do you immediately assume the worst and focus on the negative?
When it comes to how we view the world, most of us fall into one of two categories: optimist or pessimist. And according to experts, whatever category you fall into has a lot to do with your upbringing.
“From my experience, optimism is both a personality trait and a product of our environment,” says Karol Ward, LCSW, a licensed psychotherapist. “From an early age, babies and children pick up the emotional vibes in their homes. If the atmosphere is relaxing and loving, children blossom even if they innately have a tendency towards anxiety. But if the home environment is tense and filled with dysfunction, it is likely to result in pessimism. It's hard to be emotionally open and hopeful when that is not being modeled for you by your caretakers.”
But if you recognize yourself as someone who tends to default to the negative, your childhood isn’t completely to blame.
Studies show that optimism is about 25 percent inheritable, and then there are other factors that affect our positivity, like socioeconomic status. Yet that still leaves a solid amount of wiggle room for us to develop a more optimistic outlook as adults, so if you’re someone who tends to see the negative in a given situation, there's hope. Positive moods are associated with more left-brain activity, while negative emotions fire up the right side of the brain.
“Some people are optimistic by nature, but many of us learn optimism as well. Anyone can learn to be optimistic — the trick is to find purpose in work and life,” says Leah Weiss, Ph.D, a Stanford professor specializing in mindfulness in the workplace. “When we work with purpose or live with purpose, we feel more fulfilled and better equipped to see the glass ‘half full.’”
