Compounding Happiness
Episode 57: The Trap of Toxic Positivity
"By telling yourself repeatedly to 'just think positive,' you are denying your ability to experience the present moment. You are subjecting yourself to the past or projecting yourself into the future, both in hopes that it feels better than where you currently are. That mindset is what is creating the fear, not your actual circumstance."
On this episode, I do a deep-dive into the negative effects of always "being positive." I discuss where this level of thinking was formed, ways to feel your emotions without them leading you into a downward spiral, the difference between positivity and optimism, and much more!
