Optimism, even if you have to force it at first, has also shown a host of benefits. 

Smiling can literally change your body’s chemistry, and everything else about optimism can best be summed up as cultivating the habit of looking at the bright side of things. 

To stay positive, optimistic, and grateful, cut out negative people from your life, understand that life is a marathon, pay attention to your changes and improvements, and try to embrace a solution-oriented approach.
