THE POWER OF NOT BEING A PESSIMIST

Does it pay to be positive?  The answer is yes.  Optimists recover from surgery faster.

What if you're not an optimist?  Then fake it.  A study at Ohio State University found that it was more important for a person's health and stress levels to not be a pessimist than to be a real optimist.  If you find yourself seeing the glass as half-empty, ask yourself if that thought
is real.  You might at least move to neutral if not seeing the glass as half-full.
