- Gratitude sort of feeds into this. People make lists of all the kindnesses they received from others - just making a point to remember them, maybe even conscientiously reflect on them.
I think the same skills transfer to optimism. If you look at all the times you received what you wanted -- that you got your desired outcome in the past -- it'd make it easier to anticipate it continuing to happen going forward.
My other advice is just straightforward: exercise. I think the endorphins one gets from exercise can somehow be converted to positivity/enthusiasm/optimism. Just remember it's a three-part system. It's exercise + good healthy nutrition + plenty of sleep. (And some people also add in a positivity practice to top it all off...)
