The human mind tends to jump to the worst possible explanations and then further catastrophrzes the situation.

Most people have a negative filter and are pessimists, and they don’t even know it, and they don’t know how much this is hurting them in time, in energy, in productivity, in sanity, and actual lifespan.”

Recent research shows that maintaining a positive outlook can boost your chances of living beyond 85 by more than 50%, stated Positive Mindset Mentor Darren Daily in a podcast. Additionally, he shares that optimists don’t just live longer, they live better.

Scientists followed over 70,000 people for 30 years, considering every variable that you can think of. Education, lifestyle, health, and even the frequency of their smiles. Their conclusion was undeniable.

On average, optimists lived 15% longer than pessimists, and they weren’t just surviving longer, they were thriving more, and more likely to reach that coveted status of exceptional agers.

Optimism is a skill that you can learn, and it only takes five minutes a day to boost your optimism muscle significantly, Daily explains.

For starters, you can focus your mind on what’s positive and what you’re grateful for to help you ignite your growth mindset and help you become better every day.
