What do optimist have less of than pessimists? Stress, which we know is terrible for your health.

But being an optimist isn’t about ignoring all of that is wrong in the world, it’s about focusing on the good things in the world and working towards positive change. Being optimistic is a habit, and if you train yourself to focus on making things better instead of wondering how much worse a situation can get, it makes it a lot easier to make any situation into the best and help you to enjoy life without as much stress.
