Pupils will continue to deepen their understanding of optimism through MindUP lessons. Reminding children about the benefits of thinking optimistically, helps them to develop a positive and resilient attitude towards learning and life. This makes us feel relaxed, happy and also helps us to learn. When we think optimistically, the thinking and learning part of the brain (the pre-frontal cortex) focuses on being positive and hopeful, and our brain releases dopamine which is our feel-good neurotransmitter. This is because of neuroplasticity: the ability of our brain to change and develop. In fact, thinking optimistically is a skill we can all develop and the more we practise it, the better we become at it. We are not born optimistic or pessimistic. Optimism is a way of seeing life hopefully and having the expectation of success and wellbeing.
