The Pros and "Cons" of Optimism

We're told to always look for that silver lining in the clouds, or in the words of Monty Python, to "always look on the bright side of life." Kidding aside, being optimistic can sometimes feel like an uphill battle. It's essential to try and maintain an upbeat attitude as studies show that being happy has real benefits for our mental, physical, and emotional well-being. Is it possible, however, to be TOO optimistic? Can too much of a good thing be bad for us? The answer to both questions is yes. While being positive has its benefits, too much or unrealistic optimism can be detrimental to certain situations. Join me for this episode where I discuss the advantages of being optimistic and the risks associated with being too rosy in your outlook. As the saying goes, "everything in moderation!"Alessandra Send us Fan Mail
