Kei 2 Success - Success Tip #10 - Learned Optimism

I talk about a psychological theory call Learned Optimism and its opposite Learned Helplessness.
Learned helplessness is the behaviour of a subject after experiencing repeated adverse events beyond their control.
Learned optimism is where we change our attitude and behaviours by recognising and challenging our negative self talk.
The benefits of Learned Optimism include better health, improved performance and career success.
How do you learn to be optimistic?
There’s the ABC model, where (A) - Adversity, causes (B) - Beliefs which in turn leads to (C) - Consequences.
The key to the ABC model is that Adversity, DOES NOT cause the consequences, but rather it’s the beliefs, that do.
Choose learned optimism to challenge your beliefs and achieve success.
