However, an optimist would instead see this challenge as a chance to find an even better job and progress their career with a new employer.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Seeing challenges as chances to improve yourself comes directly from what psychologist Carol Dweck (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/mindset\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Mindset<\/em><\/a>) calls a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/mindset\/chapter-2#defining-success\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">growth mindset<\/a>. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/growth-mindset-characteristics\/\">growth mindset<\/a> is the belief that abilities and intelligence can be developed through dedication and hard work; for someone with such a mindset, a difficult problem is both opportunity and motivation to improve. Conversely, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/fixed-mindset-examples\/\">fixed mindset<\/a> assumes that talents and aptitudes are static traits that you can\u2019t significantly improve upon\u2014therefore, someone with a fixed mindset is likely to give up when faced with a challenge, because they don\u2019t think it\u2019s possible to improve themselves enough to overcome that challenge.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the authors add, optimism doesn&#8217;t mean that you ignore negative feelings or experiences;<strong> it means you acknowledge them, but don\u2019t let them define you or your future.<\/strong> This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/two-types-of-mindsets\/\">kind of mindset<\/a> helps reduce stress and promotes mental well-being, which in turn keeps your cells strong and healthy for as long as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Develop Optimism Through Radical Acceptance<\/strong><br><br>Blackburn and Epel\u2019s principle of acknowledging thoughts without letting them control you is similar to how Tara Brach describes Radical Acceptance in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/radical-acceptance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">her book of the same name<\/a>. Therefore, one way to develop a more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/resilient-mindset\/\">resilient mindset<\/a> is to try incorporating Brach\u2019s suggestions into your life.\u00a0There are two essential parts of Radical Acceptance: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/radical-acceptance#two-aspects-of-radical-acceptance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">recognition and compassion<\/a>.\u00a0<br><br>Recognition, also known as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/eckhart-tolle-meditation-mindfulness\/\">mindfulness<\/a> in Buddhist traditions, involves clearly understanding what we\u2019re experiencing physically, mentally, and emotionally, without being controlled by those experiences. For instance, if you feel afraid, you can recognize the racing thoughts, bodily tension, and urge to flee, but not act on that impulse\u2014you simply accept the experience as it is, without trying to change or \u201cfix\u201d it.\u00a0<br><br>The second aspect of Radical Acceptance, compassion, means responding to yourself with care and tenderness rather than with harsh judgment. Continuing the previous example, you wouldn\u2019t berate yourself for feeling afraid or try to convince yourself that there\u2019s nothing to be afraid of; you\u2019d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-go-easy-on-yourself\/\">be kind to yourself<\/a>, as you might be kind to a dear friend or a child who feels afraid.\u00a0<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How does optimism act as a telomerase booster?
