What is pessimism, why does it appear and how it threatens life. How to recognize a pessimist in yourself and turn him into an optimist. Important! It is important to notice pessimism in time so that it does not develop into a serious problem and does not manifest itself in appearance. Then he will be seen without communication - stooped, drooping shoulders, dull eyes and an uncertain gait.
How to overcome pessimism
The good side of a pessimistic outlook on life is not only its realism, but also its reversibility. A negative prism of world perception can be transformed into a positive one. You just need to make sure that this is not a disease, and choose a way to deal with pessimism.
Ways to attract optimism into your life:
- Carry out introspection … Choose the time and conditions in order to find the root cause, the starting point of your pessimistic sadness. This will help to find priority methods for correcting the situation. If you feel that you will not be able to reach the “roots” of your condition on your own, contact a psychologist.
- Make a change in your life … This is the next step after the original source of pessimism has been identified. You have been hurt by a love relationship - start over again, allow yourself to be happy with another person. Your family is crumbling, and this is irreversible - decide on drastic measures (live separately, divorce). Work does not bring either moral or material satisfaction - change it. It is difficult for you to live with your parents - change your place of residence. Do not be afraid, time will put everything in its place!
- Learn to filter experiences … The world is imperfect, just like you and me. Therefore, surprises and surprises are indispensable. But not all of them are worthy of experience.
- Do not deny yourself the pleasures … Do not reproach yourself for small "errors", no one forbade you to communicate, have fun, do your favorite thing or hobby, eat "forbidden" products. A great way to get rid of pessimism is to open up to life and leave sadness behind. You can do everything that is not prohibited by law.
- Change social circle … Reconsider which environment you are in most of the time. Give preference to people who know how to see the good and transfer this skill to others. Limit to the necessary minimum contacts with people who can drag you back into the abyss of sadness and negativity.
Interesting! Both an optimist and a pessimist live in a person at the same time. Therefore, it is impossible to find an absolute "whiner" or "zest". The golden mean of psychological comfort is considered to be 62% of the optimistic potential and 38% of the pessimistic one. A shift from 80% towards optimism characterizes a dreamer torn off the ground, towards pessimism - a complete loser. How to get rid of pessimism - watch the video:
