What is "toxic positivity"? Toxic positivity denies and minimizes any negative experiences and insists on a positive spin at all costs. It does not make room for the full range of human emotions/experience and can make us feel isolated and disconnected from our emotions.
"Practicing positivity" is a preferable tool when working with our brain's inherent negativity bias. When we practice positivity, we strengthen mindfulness, support our emotional regulation skills, and encourage real connection.
We can recognize the reality of a situation and still work on our own cognitive flexibility and use strategies to shift our mindset without denying our experience or masking.

Today we'll talk about how realistic assessments of our circumstances can be more helpful in supporting us than expecting the best.

What if you could stop dreading setbacks and accept them as a normal part of growing? When we finally have momentum and we're seeing progress, it can be disheartening when something derails us from our goals.
If you've had enough experiences of "dropping the ball", you may even interpret some of these setbacks as evidence that you can't make real changes in your life, but that’s not true.
Today I'm going to offer you an analogy that I like to use when I'm navigating setbacks in my life. It's a gentler way to view these inevitable "bumps" and can encourage you during the setbacks that come with making the changes that matter to you.
