Build Your HERO: Optimism

Learn to notice and re-author your explanations when things go wrong; shifting from “permanent, pervasive, personal” to “temporary, specific, impersonal.” We’ll practise disputing catastrophising, running “best possible self” visualisations, and setting solution-first mindsets. You’ll anchor optimism with daily prompts that don’t ignore risk, just rebalance attention. The result: clearer choices, steadier energy, and faster recoveries

• Spot pessimistic explanatory styles in real time
• Use the ABCD method to dispute unhelpful thoughts
• Practise “best possible self” to prime possibility
• Anchor optimism with micro-cues (gratitude, future-casting)- Apply optimism to team setbacks without “toxic positivity”
