How to become an Optimist

You can bet "How to become an Optimist" is a headline that is going to catch my attention. Today's "How to become an Optimist" headline comes from Minneapolis, Minnesota where Carolina Reyes, a wellness writer for examiner.com offered up the following tips for being an optimist:

• Smiling
• Thinking of positive thoughts
• Look at adversity as a a learning experience
• When something positive happens in your life, give yourself credit for making it happen
• Share good news with others
• Imagine future possibilities
• When you do less than your best, think about how you will improve in the future

Finally she lands on what really makes me smile: volunteering. And guess who she recommends to volunteer with? That's right - an Optimist Club. Since she's in Minnesota, she directed her readers to a few local clubs, but here is a link to an Optimist International Club directory so that you can find a club near you.
