Whatever's got you down is causing a great deal of stress. Pick yourself up and reflect on the positive things about your life. You'd be surprised at how one slingshot of optimism can overturn the deep dark thoughts affecting your mood and making you vulnerable.

About This Quote

One of the most fundamental principles in psychology is that humans are natural optimists. That’s because we are hardwired to be optimistic beings that thrive when we think things will go well. So, when something goes wrong, we immediately look for the silver lining where there may not be one. This positive thinking can lead to unrealistic expectations, which in turn can lead to disappointment, which in turn can lead to depression. So, when you’re down, focus on all of the good things in your life instead of dwelling on what’s not working out for you.
