You are not alone, it\u2019s our nature to fixate on bad news, a phenomenon known to psychologists as <a href=\"https:\/\/thedecisionlab.com\/biases\/negativity-bias\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">negativity bias<\/span><\/a>. Sometimes we can\u2019t help but focus on the negative even when they are insignificant compared to other positive instances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Schools have been under enormous pressure to ensure that education for the students had as little disruption as possible when the Covid-19 outbreak began.

It&#8217;s about recognizing the hurdles in life while maintaining a hopeful perspective. This mindset enables teachers to persevere through difficulties, inspiring their students to do the same. Helping your students to be optimistic helps them to conquer obstacles and face more challenges in the future. Promoting realistic optimism by showing a positive attitude in the classroom helps them to have positive role models. Optimistic teachers tend to set higher expectations for themselves and their students, resulting in increased motivation and better outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-4-ways-to-promote-optimism-in-the-classroom\"><strong>4 Ways to Promote Optimism in the Classroom<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-1-positive-reframing\">1. <strong>Positive Reframing&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Positive reframing involves <strong>thinking about a negative or challenging situation in a more positive way<\/strong>. This could mean coming up with benefits or the upside to a negative situation that you may have overlooked. Alternatively, it can also involve identifying a lesson to be learned from a difficult situation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-02-4.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"809\" height=\"747\" data-attachment-id=\"12471\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blog.quickschools.com\/2022\/09\/03\/how-teachers-can-build-realistic-optimism\/images-w-logo-02-4\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-02-4.png?fit=1209%2C1117&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1209,1117\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"images-w-logo-02-4\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-02-4.png?fit=809%2C747&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-02-4.png?resize=809%2C747&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-02-4.png?resize=1024%2C946&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-02-4.png?resize=300%2C277&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-02-4.png?resize=768%2C710&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-02-4.png?resize=1200%2C1109&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-02-4.png?resize=810%2C748&amp;ssl=1 810w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-02-4.png?resize=1140%2C1053&amp;ssl=1 1140w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-02-4.png?resize=325%2C300&amp;ssl=1 325w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-02-4.png?w=1209&amp;ssl=1 1209w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 809px) 100vw, 809px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Teachers can challenge students to seek positive ways of evaluating an event. A student who received bad grades for a certain subject or did not win a recent competition may feel let down. Seizing the opportunity by promoting the perspective that they did well in the other subjects and participating in the competition is actually great preparation for better future performance. You can reframe any failure or unpleasant event as a positive. As the saying goes, <em>every cloud has a silver lining<\/em>.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-2-selective-focus\">2. <strong>Selective Focus<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of focusing on the bad, teach students to<strong> focus primarily on thoughts and events that lead to action-oriented solutions<\/strong>. This may sound similar to Positive Reframing but that is when you can&#8217;t change the incident. Like not winning in a contest or getting bad grades on a past test. Selective focus is when you still have the chance to turn the ship around and make things better. Instead of focusing on the unfortunate event, shift the focus to thinking about ways to improve the situation. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-03-3.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"809\" height=\"645\" data-attachment-id=\"12472\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blog.quickschools.com\/2022\/09\/03\/how-teachers-can-build-realistic-optimism\/images-w-logo-03-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-03-3.png?fit=1568%2C1251&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1568,1251\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"images-w-logo-03-3\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-03-3.png?fit=809%2C645&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-03-3.png?resize=809%2C645&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-03-3.png?resize=1024%2C817&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-03-3.png?resize=300%2C239&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-03-3.png?resize=768%2C613&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-03-3.png?resize=1536%2C1225&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-03-3.png?resize=1200%2C957&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-03-3.png?resize=810%2C646&amp;ssl=1 810w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-03-3.png?resize=1140%2C910&amp;ssl=1 1140w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-03-3.png?resize=376%2C300&amp;ssl=1 376w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-03-3.png?w=1568&amp;ssl=1 1568w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 809px) 100vw, 809px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">For instance, the class organized a picnic but suddenly it started raining heavily. This then cancels the outdoor picnic. If you are adopting positive reframing in the situation, you would think things like, \u201cI need to be sure to check the weather forecast next time.\u201d different from selective focus where you are actively thinking of ways to still carry on with the picnic but an alternative indoor venue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-3-preventing-catastrophizing\">3. <strong>Preventing Catastrophizing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Catastrophizing is when an individual assumes that the worst will happen. It often involves thinking and believing that you\u2019re in a worse situation than you really are or \u201cexaggerating\u201d the difficulties you face. For example, a student might be worried that they will fail an exam. From there, they will start to think that failing an exam means they\u2019re a bad student and bound to never pass, finish school, get a degree, or find a job. They might conclude that this means they\u2019ll never be financially stable and will become a disappointment to the family. It\u2019s easy to dismiss catastrophizing as over-exaggeration, but it\u2019s not as simple as it seems. Often times it is not intentional and people who do it don\u2019t realize they\u2019re doing it. They are so absorbed in the situation and may feel they have no control over their worries.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-05.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"809\" height=\"779\" data-attachment-id=\"12473\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blog.quickschools.com\/2022\/09\/03\/how-teachers-can-build-realistic-optimism\/images-w-logo-05\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-05.png?fit=1014%2C976&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1014,976\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"images-w-logo-05\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-05.png?fit=809%2C779&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-05.png?resize=809%2C779&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12473\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-05.png?w=1014&amp;ssl=1 1014w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-05.png?resize=300%2C289&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-05.png?resize=768%2C739&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-05.png?resize=810%2C780&amp;ssl=1 810w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-05.png?resize=312%2C300&amp;ssl=1 312w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 809px) 100vw, 809px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">It is important that teachers try to avert these thoughts whenever possible.

Any little steps to help solve the problem.  Reassurance is also a crucial aspect of following through with this strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-4-stop-and-smell-the-coffee\">4. <strong>Stop and Smell the Coffee<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">There&#8217;s an expression in neuroscience: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rickhanson.net\/take-in-the-good\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Neurons that fire together wire together<\/span><\/a>.

Most of these observations will be as simple as &#8216;the sun is shining&#8217; or &#8216;this coffee tastes good,&#8217; but do this a handful of times each day and you&#8217;ll feel an emotional shift.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-04-3.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"809\" height=\"662\" data-attachment-id=\"12474\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blog.quickschools.com\/2022\/09\/03\/how-teachers-can-build-realistic-optimism\/images-w-logo-04-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-04-3.png?fit=1397%2C1143&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1397,1143\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"images-w-logo-04-3\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-04-3.png?fit=809%2C662&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-04-3.png?resize=809%2C662&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-04-3.png?resize=1024%2C838&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-04-3.png?resize=300%2C245&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-04-3.png?resize=768%2C628&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-04-3.png?resize=1200%2C982&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-04-3.png?resize=810%2C663&amp;ssl=1 810w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-04-3.png?resize=1140%2C933&amp;ssl=1 1140w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-04-3.png?resize=367%2C300&amp;ssl=1 367w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/images-w-logo-04-3.png?w=1397&amp;ssl=1 1397w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 809px) 100vw, 809px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-navigating-school-life-with-realistic-optimism\"><strong>Navigating School Life with Realistic Optimism<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">At the end of a school day, if teachers pivot on a singular instance that did not go so well compared with the many events that did go well, they are exhibiting negativity bias. Adopting the 4 strategies mentioned above would be helpful to combat this bias. As leaders in schools, or any industry for that matter, setting a good example is important to building optimism. Optimism is a learnable skill, and having caring and supportive educators can shift students\u2019 perspectives toward life and its trials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-seeing-the-silver-lining-the-power-of-realistic-optimism\"><strong>Seeing the Silver Lining: The Power of Realistic Optimism<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">In a world where challenges and uncertainties are an inherent part of life, the power of realistic optimism shines like a beacon of hope.

Even when facing a multitude of objectively negative situations, we can always try to appreciate the positive aspects, regardless of how small they may be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As human beings, we tend to give more importance to negative experiences than to positive or neutral experiences.
