Over the course of the pandemic, Gallup has been doing an ongoing study tracking American optimism. Back in May, when the vaccine was rolling out, not surprisingly, optimism was through the roof. Just 3 months ago, 85% of Americans said they felt positive about the direction of the pandemic and the way the country was headed.
Three months later, and those numbers have fallen through the floor... optimism is now down to 40%.
This represents so much of what we talk about on the podcast. People live their lives in a state of reaction to the external world we live in, reacting to reaction without owning our feelings or knowing we have the power to cultivate a positive mindset when the world seems like a dumpster fire.
This week, Dan gives you the best strategies to cultivate true optimism, even when the world is pessimistic. Also, we'll talk about how to do it without falling into toxic positivity.
