Pat Berges: 我并非天生乐观，而是通过努力学习和实践才变得乐观。在遭遇严重的自行车事故导致脊椎受伤后，我经历了难以忍受的疼痛和负面情绪。为了应对这些挑战，我尝试了多种方法，包括改变自我对话、设定积极的奖励机制、将时间分解成更小的单位来处理疼痛、进行冥想和感恩练习，以及将身体比作油箱，通过吸入积极能量（来自他人的爱和支持）并呼出负面情绪来增强勇气和积极性。我还意识到帮助他人可以帮助自己走出困境，并积极地将这些经验和方法传授给我的孩子，帮助他们培养同情心和积极的心态。在公司并购后，我领导了一个文化项目，通过小规模的改进提升公司文化，帮助员工建立信任和合作，并最终提升团队的整体积极性和生产力。 Simon Sinek: Pat Berges的故事展现了乐观主义并非与生俱来的特质，而是可以通过后天努力和方法获得的。他的经历和方法可以应用于各种挑战，包括工作、人际关系和心理健康问题。他强调了感恩、冥想、积极的自我对话以及寻求外部支持的重要性。Pat Berges的快速康复也证明了积极心态的力量。此外，他还强调了勇气来自于外部的支持，而恐惧则来自于内心的自我怀疑。通过吸入积极能量（来自他人的爱和支持）并呼出负面情绪，可以增强勇气并更好地应对压力。

Shownotes Transcript

Don’t you hate it when you’re coasting along -- not a care in the world -- and then it feels like life comes out of nowhere and hits you like a car, almost paralyzing you? Well, for Pat Berges, that wasn’t just a feeling…that actually happened.  

Like many of us, Pat is not a natural optimist. He had to learn how to find optimism during this dark period. Not only did it help him recover, but what he learned continues to help him be, well, optimistic.  

This is… A Bit of Optimism.
