It’s Okay to Not Be Okay

Summary.   

Toxic positivity is the assumption that despite a person’s emotional pain and turmoil, they should only have a positive mindset.

• When we pretend that emotional pain doesn’t exist, we send a message to our brain that whatever the emotion is, it is in some way bad or dangerous. If our brain believes we are in a dangerous situation, our body will respond as such.
• By overdoing positive affirmations, we may be invalidating our or others’ feelings and harming them when they are already in a vulnerable state.
• The best way to deal with negative emotions is to let yourself feel the emotions you’re feeling and let them pass, not push them under the rug.close

I love this little guy. He hears me come out the deck door and races up the steps and sits looking at me. “Hey lady, I’m here. Where’s my seeds?”

Charlie has been my friend for a few years but this year I decided to befriend him a bit more and now he doesn’t hesitate to come when I say, “Charlie, here’s your seeds.”
