Boost your optimism score

Hard to remember when you’re facing a bump in the road or a temporary setback.  Clinical research has shown that attitude and optimism are a far better indicator of success than any other qualities.  Martin Seligman (“Learned Optimism”) did major studies of this phenomenon.

When I stumble in life, particular on an important project, I give myself five to fifteen minutes to sit in the  corner and suck my thumb.  ”I pick myself up, dust myself off and start all over ” as the song goes.

I have a personal saying for times like these: “You might  get me down but you can’t keep me down.”  This is directed at the obstacle, the driver of the obstacle or God/Higher Power and sometimes just at the Outer Darkness.

You haven’t failed until you breathed your  last breath, and even then you haven’t failed because you were almost there.  You just didn’t know it.

If you are having difficulties falling into depression, lethargy, the “I don’t wanna’s,” being your own worst critic, a few sessions of ego-strengthening through hypnotherapy can help.

To your success…
