1. 0:00Three easy ways to train your brain to
2. 0:01be more optimistic. Your brain is not
3. 0:03naturally negative, it's just been
4. 0:05trained to be that way. So, here's how
5. 0:07to retrain it so that you can live
6. 0:08longer and happier. At the end of the
7. 0:10day, write down three things that went
8. 0:12well and why they went well. And if
9. 0:14there's absolutely nothing you can think
10. 0:15of, you can write things such as the sky
11. 0:18was clear, I'm still alive. So much more
12. 0:20went well than you even fathom. And by
13. 0:23writing down the why, you're forcing
14. 0:24your brain to think about the cause and
15. 0:26effect. And over time, the part of your
16. 0:28brain that filters out what you pay
17. 0:29attention to is going to be specifically
18. 0:31looking for positive events. When bad
19. 0:33things happen, ask yourself, is this
20. 0:35permanent [music] or is it temporary?
21. 0:37Negative thinking just assumes that bad
22. 0:39things are forever, but optimistic
23. 0:41brains know that it's just passing. That
24. 0:44quick reframe just reminds your brain
25. 0:46that this is not your life. This is not
26. 0:48the end, this is just a moment passing.
27. 0:51[music] When it comes to talking about
28. 0:52your future, talk about it out loud in
29. 0:54positive terms. Not, I hope it works
30. 0:56out, but it will work out. And the thing
31. 0:59is, it will work out for you, even if it
32. 1:01doesn't look how you expected it to
33. 1:02look. All you have to do is continuously
34. 1:04remind yourself, this is working out for
35. 1:06me, even if it doesn't look how I
36. 1:08thought it would. Your brain doesn't
37. 1:09distinguish between what you say and
38. 1:11what you believe. So, if you
39. 1:12continuously speak about how good your
40. 1:14future is, your subconscious is going to
41. 1:16create evidence for it. Optimism is not
42. 1:18a trait or characteristic, it's just a
43. 1:20pattern your brain can learn. And as we
44. 1:22know, the coolest thing ever with
45. 1:24neuroplasticity, you can retrain your
46. 1:26brain. It's not impossible, it just
47. 1:27requires a little bit of work for a
48. 1:29little while. And then it becomes I I I.
