Toxic Positivity is the belief that no matter how difficult a situation is, people should only maintain a positive mindset.
It's that "good vibes only" mindset which engages optimism and positivity only to result in rejection of real emotions and building a false positive mindset.
Instead of telling yourself "everything happens for a reason", "it's okay to feel bad sometimes" works better.
Instead of "while you sleep, winners grind", telling yourself "I need to sleep to function better" is more honest.
Instead of "Hustle 24/7", "Stay balanced" is better and instead of "Failure is not an option", "Failure is a great learning lesson" is better.
Let's embrace our realities moving forward
Let's allow ourselves to feel our emotions and let's stop the toxic positivity.
Hi very good
