The Importance of Optimistic Thinking
One valuable thought exercise is to test your assumptions about money and challenge your beliefs. For example, negotiating a late fee with your credit card company can help you realize that you have control over your financial situation. Additionally, considering what you would do if you were given a large sum of money allows you to examine your priorities and whether they align with your past behavior. This exercise helps differentiate between optimistic thoughts and realistic actions.
