Most believe it originated from Norse Mythology.
The Norse Mythology goes like this:
Goddess Frigga, goddess of love, has a son named Balder, god of summer sun.
One day, Balder had a dream of death and told his mother about it. She was greatly alarmed because if Balder dies, being a god of summer sun, all life on earth will die too. So, she went to air, water, fire, earth and all the animals and plants to seek their promise not to harm her son, Balder. Unfortunately, she overlooked the mistletoe.
Mistletoes are hemiparasites. They grow on tree trunks or tree branches.
Loki, god of evil, the ultimate enemy of Balder used the mistletoe as an arrow tip and gave the arrow to Hoder, the blind god of winter, to shoot Balder. Hoder did and struck Balder dead.
With the earth's life forms gradually fading and unsuccessfully trying to revive Balder's body, Goddess Frigga held Balder's body and shed tears for him which revived him back to life. The tears fell on the mistletoe and turned into white berries.
Expressing her joy of having her son back, Goddess Frigga kissed everyone who passed under the tree where the mistletoe grew.
The story ended with a decree that whoever stands under the mistletoe, no harm shall befall them, only a kiss, a token of love.

Answer:
The answer is - Optimistic
Explanation:
Explanatory style is the way in which we explain the events that happen to us in our lives, either good or bad. There is the pessimistic explanatory style and the optimistic explanatory style.
The optimistic explanatory style are characterized by explanations for negative outcomes as being due to unstable, specific and external causes so we do not blame ourselves 100% for things that go wrong, and that the negative events will end soon and they would not let it affect too many aspects of their lives. While positive outcomes are seen as being due to stable, global and internal causes.
Lara is using optimistic explanatory style therefore she tends to have more positive explanatory style as she takes credit for positive experiences, believes that the good things will last and they will favorably affect other aspects of her life.
