Daily Excerpt: Tips, Tools, and Anecdotes for Managing Chronic Illness (Charnas) - 5. Tough Times
Excerpt from Tips, Tools, and Anecdotes to Help during a Pandemic (Charnas)
5. TOUGH
TIMES
Running a
therapy group on happiness is one of my favorite job responsibilities. There’s
a huge industry focused on happiness. While doing research for the group, I
learned that optimism boosts happiness, so we discuss this concept in the
group. Like many of the things that make people happy, optimism may be innate,
or we may have to mindfully develop the habits and skills that boost this
attitude. Here’s my template for optimism:
Be hopeful. Show up. Do your best.
Let go. Repeat.
Over the
years, I’ve found it’s a winning formula.
