Being optimistic is easier said than done. Undeniably, we need optimism to remain sane. Negativity can tarnish even your wildest imagination, your greatest ambitions, and your strength or will to go on, get out there and do something you want.
Optimism is the reason for your every achievement. It simply means you don’t give up.

1) Speak with a close friend or family, or your colleague. Open your feelings to them.
2) Get to the root of the issue. Why exactly are you feeling negative? What has happened that has made you react that way? Ask yourself, be honest and open up. The more you bottled up, the more unhappy you will be, the lesser strength you will have to tackle your pessimism.
3) Write down your daily feelings in a diary; be expressive, if you find it uncomfortable to open up to someone.
4) Listen to nice soothing songs.
5) Read self help books. They help.
6) Take up a new hobby, can be totally out of your element. E.g cooking, yoga
You may not achieve to expected standard but knowing you have tried is an achievement itself.
7) Take a break from work, go on a holiday.
8) Reserve a massage appointment.

1) Seek professional help, see a therapist.
2) Avoid drugs, alcohol and cigarettes
