Those who overestimated their financial outcomes over those years had a lower self-reported sense of well-being than those who had more unbiased expectations based on an accurate <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/life-advice\/6-tips-for-managing-your-money-in-tough-times\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">assessment of their finances<\/a>. Similarly, those who negatively underestimated their financial outcomes by seeing themselves pessimistically were less happy and satisfied than those who were more realistic.<\/p>\n<p>These findings are part of the case against <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/is-there-such-a-thing-as-toxic-positivity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201ctoxic positivity,\u201d<\/a> the overly-simplistic, ultimately harmful use of positivity in a vacuum, denying any challenging or negative realities in pursuit of uncomplicated optimism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe see that being realistic about your future and making sound decisions based on evidence can bring a sense of well-being, without having to immerse yourself in relentless positivity,\u201d said Chris Dawson, an economics professor at the University of Bath, where the study was conducted.<\/p>\n<p>This rings so true to me, and readers of this blog will recognize my advocacy for the term <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/life-advice\/3-authentically-positive-answers-to-the-question-how-are-you\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cauthentic positivity<\/a>\u201d as a worthy goal. To be authentically positive is not so different from being a realist, actually. Being unreasonably optimistic about future financial success denies the possibility that financial challenges will arise, while being self-defeatingly pessimistic denies us the opportunity to succeed in unexpected ways. <\/p>\n<p>So instead, let\u2019s be optimistic enough to <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/faith-prayer-devotions\/stories-of-faith-faith-prayer-devotions\/7-ways-to-change-your-life\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">affirm our own possibilities<\/a>, while remaining grounded in the world in which we actually live.
