From the latest issue of Pivotal Personal Best ezine
Hello and welcome to this issue of Pivotal Personal Best.
Do you attend seminars and conferences? I find them the most uplifting recharging experiences. I come home full of ideas and enthusiasm. And I know from experience! that it is so easy to let that charge and those ideas gradually slip away if you don’t have a plan of action to put them into practice. Fellow Aussie, Lorraine Pirihi has written a very useful article with some great ideas on how to benefit most from your conference/seminar attendance.
But first here’s a little piece to increase your optimism from our resident resilience authority, Michael Licenblat.
Optimism Increases Productivity
How am I going to get through all this work?
I don’t know what will happen if I fail?
What happens if we don’t meet the sales budget?
I hope that I don’t get sick!

Pessimism has been found to not only increase stress, but also increases incidence of illness & absenteeism, tiredness, slower recovery from surgery, low self esteem, and causes the under use of abilities.
You simply cannot afford to ‘put up’ with a bad mood, having a miserable day, or negative colleagues. Pessimism will drain both your productivity and quality of life.

However, it’s not the knowledge that makes the difference, it’s the application of that knowledge.
