The Beyond Tomorrow Podcast with Julian Issa

What if optimism wasn’t just a mindset but a daily act of strength and self-belief?In this episode, psychiatrist and author Dr. Sue Varma unpacks the science and soul of practical optimism, a philosophy that blends positivity with action, helping us move from wishful thinking to real change. Drawing from her work with 9/11 survivors, her personal story of burnout, and decades in mental health, Dr. Varma reveals how optimism isn’t about ignoring pain, it’s about believing in the possibility of good while doing the work to make it happen.We explore why our brains are wired toward negativity, how to reframe pessimistic thoughts into growth, and what neuroscience says about the left and right sides of our emotional lives. Dr. Varma breaks down her eight pillars of practical optimism, from finding purpose and processing emotions to building self-compassion and practicing healthy habits and offers four daily anchors anyone can start today: movement, mindfulness, mastery, and meaningful connection.Discover how to turn hope into action and make optimism your superpower.📌 What You Will LearnHow to Practice Practical OptimismThe Real Difference Between Optimism and Practical OptimismHow to Reframe Negative ThinkingHow to Process Difficult EmotionsThe Four P’s That Keep You Stuck in PessimismThe Daily Habits That Boost Mental HealthHow to Strengthen Emotional Resilience⏱ Timestamps00:31 Creating a one-stop approach to prevention and treatment01:20 Learning from working with 9/11 survivors04:16 Understanding the difference between optimism and pessimism07:55 Recognizing the downside of too much optimism13:49 How the brain of an optimist works17:14 Knowing when pessimism becomes something more20:28 Discovering mindfulness-based stress reduction26:21 Exploring the eight pillars of practical optimism28:46 Finding joy in what you do32:58 Redefining purpose beyond grand goals37:02 Accepting that comparison is inevitable41:19 Using the four-step plan to process emotions46:31 Reframing your emotional state52:02 Practicing the four Ms of mental health59:37 Seeing the risks of overrelying on AI01:02:57 Using AI for early mental health intervention01:06:18 Reconnecting with ancient wisdom01:11:01 Nurturing yourself and focusing on growth🎙 Hosted by Julian Issa 📸 Instagram: @thebeyondtomorrowpodcast 🌐 Website: www.beyondtomorrowpodcast.com 📩 Email: bookings@beyondtomorrowpodcast.com 🎧 Subscribe on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube for more stories from the edge of what is possible.Episode Resources:Website: https://www.doctorsuevarma.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sue-varma-m-d-p-c-dfapa-8a48286/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doctorsuevarma/# X: https://x.com/doctorsuevarma Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Doctorsuevarma/ Practical Optimism: The Art, Science, and Practice of Exceptional Well-Being

What if the real path to longevity is mastering fundamentals while measuring what matters?
