I do think that effort over time makes a difference here, though. I remember this from an interview with Ruby Sales that stuck with me (I don't know the origin of the phrase, but this is where I heard it): https://pca.st/episode/2240f0ef-004f-45cc-9e77-0a10b9905530 https://pca.st/episode/2240f0ef-004f-45cc-9e77-0a10b9905530 I love everybody. I love everybody in my heart. And you can't make me hate you. And you can't make me hate you. I think of it less like "trying to be optimistic" as much as "making sure I pause long enough to see the optimistic thoughts that are there"
