Cynicism is a negative attitude that involves distrust and pessimism. It can be a destructive force in our lives, leading to unhappiness, isolation, and bitterness. Fortunately, there are many things we can do to avoid cynicism and cultivate a more positive outlook on life.
One of the most important things we can do is to challenge our negative thoughts. When we find ourselves thinking cynical thoughts, we should stop and ask ourselves if there is any evidence to support them. More often than not, we will find that our negative thoughts are based on assumptions or fears rather than facts.
