Now that is an important question to seek an answer for- The benefits of Learned Optimism (trust me there are many). Here are some of the key benefits, backed with science that learned optimism has to offer:
Be motivated. Through learned optimism is linked with higher intrinsic motivation. Basically, you are self-driven to endure stressful circumstances, be goal-focused, and better perform in life.
Improve your mental wellness. Along with offering better physical health learned optimism also improves our mental well-being. It is found to reduce the signs of depression and enhance overall well-being.
One type of positive trait, called dispositional optimism is defined as the general expectation that good things, rather than bad things, will happen in the future [16]. It has been demonstrated in controlled randomized trials that optimism can be learned [17], leading to potential novel interventions to improve public health. Higher levels of dispositional optimism, assessed by validated quantitative scales, have been associated with better physical health, especially lower risk of cardiovascular diseases [18, 19], lower mortality [19, 20] and healthy aging [21]. These associations could be due to a more proactive approach to health promotion in optimistic people or better emotional responses to adversity [22]. Previous scientific literature has shown that dispositional optimism was associated with less smoking and more exercise [23]. Few studies investigated and observed an association between optimism and healthier diets. Optimism was associated with higher overall diet quality [24, 25] and greater consumption of specific healthy food groups such as fruit and vegetables [26, 27] or whole grains [28]. Although optimists are supposed to think that favorable outcomes are possible and act accordingly [29] some theorizing suggests that the positive thoughts associated with optimism might lead people to feel as if they do not need to engage in healthy behaviors [30]. Consistently, it has been observed in a cross-sectional study that dispositional optimism was associated with higher intake of alcoholic beverages [31].
We found that dispositional optimism was associated with an overall greater diet quality supporting previous data showing a positive association between optimism and alternative healthy eating index (AHEI) in postmenopausal women [24] and with a healthy diet metric of the ideal cardiovascular health based on the AHA guidelines in adults [25]. Our data indicated no association between optimism and energy, while optimism was associated with higher intake of lipids, and lower intake of proteins and carbohydrates. To our knowledge, no other study has investigated the association between optimism, energy and macronutrient intake. These results suggest that optimism could have an impact on diet quality but not on the overall energy intake. Our data showed that optimism was mainly associated with greater intake of healthy food groups including fruits and vegetables, seafood, whole grains, legumes, non-salted oleaginous fruits and lower intake of unhealthy food including milk-based desserts and sugar and confectionery. In agreement, previous data showed that higher optimism was associated with greater intake of fruits and vegetables [26, 27], and whole grains [28]. Healthier choices in optimistic individuals may be due to a more proactive approach to health promotion [22]. Optimistic individuals have been shown more likely to adopt healthier behaviors including less smoking and more exercise [23]. Optimists also show a better profile of emotional responses to adversity (less distress, more positive emotions) due to more effective coping reactions, which can lead to healthier choices [22]. Our results showing an association between optimism and dietary intake are important since it has been demonstrated in randomized trials that optimism can be learned [17], leading to potential novel interventions to improve public health. However, the reverse has also been suggested; that is, individuals who engage in healthier dietary behaviors may also as a consequence be more optimistic [58, 59]. 153554b96e
