Staying optimistic

Welcome to a new post, dear Hiver!

This is a daily job. Waking up with a good attitude, keeping your spirits up throughout the day. Of course, you can't always do it, thousands of things can happen in one day, so sometimes your spirits change.

Today, however, has been a nice day full of good things, including good news.

This is an interesting exercise, because when you have a good attitude towards life, everything is different, you see more possibilities and you are more creative.

The truth is that I am naturally creative, but sometimes things don't flow. This is due to tiredness (sometimes I go to bed very late because I watch a series or I get so inspired by my work that I get home at dawn), which honestly makes me feel terrible. I am trying to control this, because I work independently, and I need to stay at 100%, or at least 90%.

So part of my job is what has taught me so much about it, how to be able to have a positive mood, handle problems better, find solutions, manage my time... It's a good list of tasks, quite interesting, if you ask me.

This is not achieved overnight. I'm not an expert in it, I'm just sharing with you what I'm discovering, and I realized that working hard on something gives results.

Before I wasn't an ogre or anything like that, I just had a hard time handling stress, anxiety, or other emotions. They were things that were difficult even if I tried.

My way of learning was by researching a lot about this, gathering information on the subject. I also began to get closer to God, worrying about this spiritual development has been important for me, it has helped me feel good about myself, helping my self-esteem, my security, as well as the way I see life.

The Bible is a manual for life, where it gives you advice on anything you need, it even helps you do things better. You only need to look at a few verses from the New Testament, and you will find years of wisdom.

The rest have been personal observations. You have to be objective at times, know what is going wrong and what is going right. What things we need to throw out of our lives and what we need to bring in and open the door to.

Objectivity helps us to be more critical, so one of its characteristics is good decision making.

And what result does all this give together?

Well, being optimistic.

Self-esteem, emotional management, criticism, doing things right = An optimistic person who can clearly see the things in life and achieve their goals.

This is my way of seeing it, how a set of things can give us incredible benefits. I want to continue this path, because it really is quite good.
