Optimism can help us achieve more success at work, home, school, in sports, and every other area of life. An optimistic explanatory style also helps us live longer, healthier lives. This episode discusses the power of optimism and provides practical instructions for how to increase optimistic thinking to improve your life.

Side note - starting next week, The Working Mom's Balance podcast will release new episodes on Mondays (instead of Fridays). Be sure to subscribe and come back on Monday for a new episode. There will also be a new blog post or video at WorkingMomsBalance.com each Wednesday. These posts will be related to the podcast for the week, but not the same content. A weekly summary and additional links and thoughts will go out by email on Fridays. Be sure to subscribe to the email list here.
