Forcing yourself to stay positive can actually block your growth by covering up the truth you need to face. Real transformation doesn’t come from pretending everything is fine — it comes from being fully present with your emotions, even the uncomfortable ones. Positivity that ignores pain becomes spiritual bypassing, while presence helps you honor and heal it. You grow not by denying your darkness but by integrating it with awareness. When you feel it, name it, and shift it from a place of honesty, you align with your true power.
