don’t really need three cocktails or beers every day to relax, either. Your body condition really does impact your mental attitude. 5. Do something good for other people. This one is always a good way to keep your mental state healthy. It feels good to help other people. It will make you more optimistic about life in general if you do! Volunteering, mentoring, coaching, working on your neighbor’s yard, teaching, advising aspiring business owners – there are a million things you can do for other people if you want to, and they will all give you the potential for a positive mental boost! 6. Focus on your relationships. Be forgiving. Be the one who says you are sorry. Be considerate. Share. Be generous with your time and money. These things will all help your relationships and when they are solid, you will feel more settled, less stressed, and more optimistic. Try it and tell me if I am wrong! I’m sure I could keep adding to this list of things to do to stay positive and optimistic. But the important thing is not what works for me but what works for you. What are those things, and are you doing them? Your people need you to be an optimistic leader. Don’t let them down. Mark Zweig is Zweig Group’s chairman and founder.

That said, it isn’t always easy. There are a million problems that can drag us down and mire us in a creeping darkness.” 4. Keep your physical health up. I am not the best at this one, particularly in terms of my diet (I love to eat!), but have been lucky enough to be blessed with good genes. But the bottom line is you have to keep moving! Exercise or physical work is good for the mind and body. Get a good night’s sleep, also – don’t stay up too late. And you
