Welcome back to our optimistic blog focus this week.

Yesterday we shared  the first 5 ways you can become more optimistic and thus as a Burnout Queen, decree a happier life and lifestyle.  An optimistic thought to get us going!

Here is the second group of 5 to just cement this in your way of being…it just keeps getting more and more optimistic doesn’t it ladies!

6. Stop dwelling on negative experiences, all you are doing is reprogramming your psyche over and over to expect the worse. (yuck you don’t need encouragement like this).  Bad experiences in the past do not predict bad experiences in the future.

7.Avoid procrastination: Its hard to picture a successful future with a lot of unfinished projects hanging around to remind you what a “failure” you are. Stop making yourself miserable and start doing.  You heard that right…get off that comfy sofa and get at it! (you did read the getting stuck on the comfy sofa blog didn’t you?)

8.Don’t run away from problems. There is no upside in putting your head in the sand. Some problems require standing your ground, facing them squarely in the face,  and beginning to solve them.  Check out your life for existing or potential road blocks and begin to remove them.  Imagine yourself taking life-enhancing risks instead of creating obstacles.

9.Claim your successes. The downfall of most women don’t you think?  Ask a lot of yourself and when you attain it (as we optimistically believe you will)  Blow your own horn.  You never know whom you will inspire!

10.Adopt generosity. Devoting time to other people’s problems is healthy for us. It’s called social interest and it gets you outside of your head and life. Involving yourself in charity or giving, can take our self-focus down a few notches and this can go miles to helping us see the bigger picture and our lives with more clarity.  Another way to say it is, count your blessings.

So there you have it.  10 beautifully simple ways to keep yourself alert to your pessimism while helping you seamlessly create a shift in your perspective.  Shifts ripple into every aspect of your life and that my dear ladies is a massive gift to give yourselves.

Grab Life by the Crown (we say optimistically)
