It's their personality type, right?

And if you're that person that's focusing on negative all the time, you're going to be miserable.

You're going to be unhappy.

And you have to find a way to change your thinking, right?

I do think, again, exercise is part of that because it does help you do that hard thing and everything else becomes easier.

But also there's other things like being grateful.

Think about what you're grateful for in life.

What do you have that you can be thankful for?

Because everyone has something.

Even if you're the Uber driver that doesn't get paid a lot, you have your health.

Until your health goes bad, until you get a cancer diagnosis at the age of 40,

until you have a heart attack at 55, until you get type 2 diabetes at the age of, I don't know, perhaps 39, you don't realize how important your health is or your parents come down with the cancer diagnosis or your sibling.

Let's say you don't have kids.

you have something to be thankful for.

And when you start to focus, have a daily practice of that, what to be thankful for, it does help train your brain.

And there are studies showing that helps train your brain to not be so pessimistic.

And so that's one thing to do.

In addition to the exercise, it's like the best thing that you can do, I think, is really daily exercise, physical activity, because it is hard.

It is something that trains your brain

to do hard things and other things become easier.
