It shouldn’t be surprising that people who can put an optimistic spin on to negative events tend to be healthier and less stressed. What may be surprising is that optimism can be learned. Based on the results of extensive research, this workshop demonstrates how to reframe your thinking to have a more positive attitude, alter self-defeating patterns of thought, and utilize constructive self-feedback to reach your goals. Following this seminar, participants will be able to:

• Identify their tendency toward optimistic or pessimistic framing of events
• Learn techniques for reframing the interpretation of stressful situations
• Practice optimistic thinking
