What flavor of optimist are you?

Question 1

You asked for a promotion at work, and just learned the answer is “no.”

Your first move is to:

Ask your boss to explain why in writing, and request ongoing check-ins.

B

Reach out to your network and start looking for a new job. Now is the time to tap into your relationships.

C

Give yourself time to feel disappointment but remind yourself how resilient you are. You’ve bounced back before; you’ll do it again.

Question 2

You’re planning your first post-Covid getaway with family or friends. You’re most likely:

A

Crafting a detailed itinerary... with contingency plans. There’s so much to explore, and you don’t want to miss any of it.

B

Leading a group text chain to get everyone excited.

C

Letting others take the lead. You’re confident it’s going to be great, no matter what.

Question 3

B

Hug your partner or children, cuddle with your pet, or send your BFF a good morning text.

C

Spend a minute just taking a few deep breaths and looking out the window.

Question 4

You’ve gotten into the habit of doomscrolling. You take control of the situation by:

A

Setting some clear boundaries around when you’ll read the news or check social media using time-limiting apps.

B

Commit to “joyscrolling” instead. Comment on friends’ positive life events and beautiful photos and make a conscious effort to feel joy for them.

C

Spend an hour customizing your feed so you’re seeing less negative stuff. It’s not magical thinking; it’s self-care.

Question 5

A friend invites you to a workout class you’ve never tried before. You:

A

Prepare by looking it up online. You’re more excited when you know what to expect.

B

Ask them what they’re doing after. Might as well make the most of your workout date by penciling in even more bonding time.

C

Go ahead and book a three-class package. You’re confident you’re going to love it.

Do some post-party strategic planning. You’ll delegate next time.

Call a friend to laugh about it. You’ll have memories of your hosting “fail” for years to come.

Cut yourself some slack. No, you’re not always on top of your game. That’s okay.
