    Toxic Positivity

    It is always been thought that to be mentally healthy means being happy all the time. It is not always possible. Good mental health comes from feeling all sorts of emotions, whether comfortable or uncomfortable, “positive” or “negative”.

    Toxic positivity is to focus to be positive at all costs, no matter what is the situation. It is the mindset that even when faced with challenges, people should always maintain a positive outlook. It is quite possible that toxic positivity can be reflected in your own self-talk as well as when you are connecting with others.

    Here are some signs that positivity has turned toxic:

    • You refuse to accept feelings that aren’t “positive”
    • You feel bad for going through “negative” emotions
    • You’re running away from uncomfortable feelings

      Unaddressed impairment in executive or professional leaders can harm the individual and their family and be devastating to the vitality of an organisation regardless of size or mission. Although executives and professionals are afflicted as often and severely as other groups, the very nature of their achieved status often contributes to significant denial and barriers that often delays the process of identifying problems and receiving suitable support given who they are.
