Quote

“Healthy positivity means making space for both reality and hope. Toxic positivity denies an emotion and forces us to suppress it. When we use toxic positivity, we are telling ourselves and others that this emotion shouldn’t exist, it’s wrong, and if we try just a little bit harder, we can eliminate it entirely.”― Whitney Goodman

Resource

Toxic positivity is not only frustrating but can also be harmful. While it's important to acknowledge that problems exist and deserve time and attention, it's still possible to remain personally upbeat while doing so.

Now Repeat….

I embrace both reality and hope. My positivity is healthy, allowing space for all emotions while remaining optimistic about the future.
