#291 Optimistic or Pessimistic?

The Level Up English Podcast

In today's episode, we're exploring the topics of optimism, pessimism, and realism. These are different attitudes towards life and the future and can have a massive impact on your happiness and mental health.
I go over the definitions and words, discuss some possible benefits of being pessimistic, and give many tips on how and why you can be more optimistic in life.
A really fun episode filled with English vocabulary, and hopefully quite motivational too.
