026 Positivity – A Force for Good or Toxic?

Unlock Your Confidence with Clare Walsh

Positivity is something that we can see and hear about all the time. While I think that being positive is great and has many benefits, there is also a darker side to positivity - a toxic positivity.

What You Will Learn In This Episode:

- What toxic positivity is and why it should be avoided

- Why it is essential to allow yourself and others to feel all the feelings

- How its possible to experience negative or hard feelings and still have a positive outlook on life

- The benefits of having a positive outlook on life

Living a full life means that we are going to experience the full range of emotions. We all need to be allowed to be ourselves, to feel our way through life and the circumstances we find ourselves in. When we cultivate a positive attitude, it means that we acknowledge our feelings and the negative things in our life, but we don't get stuck in them.
