Toxic positivity culture, while rooted in good intentions, actually does far more harm than good. In this week's episode I unpack the differences between toxic positivity and genuine optimism, discuss the psychology behind our negative thought patterns, and suggest ways to lean into a more authentic positive mindset through empathetic connection building. I also uncover the psychological benefits to utilizing positive affirmation trains, while giving tips on how to craft affirmations that feel right for you. There is so much power behind positivity - but a safe, happy, and authentic environment can only be fostered through empathy.
